Summary:

19-year-old Eva has a boyfriend back home in Oregon, but what American girl can resist a Scottish accent? Romancing an Edinburgh barkeep while working abroad, she knows she's taking risks. What she doesn't expect is the third guy entering the picture: a sarcastic fellow traveler who discovers her secret and becomes her unlikely confidante. Meanwhile her best friend scares herself witless ghost-hunting in Edinburgh's medieval streets, and Eva's boyfriend gets it into his head to come visit without advance warning. It will be a miracle if Eva can leave Scotland with all her relationships, and her sanity, intact.

Types of feedback? Any! I'm still tinkering with this story, but hope to get it posted this year and shape it into the type of Young Adult novel that adults enjoy too.

In a land where the four mystic Elements embody the magic of life, death and the realm of the next-life, Keevan just wants to fit in... if he can only stay alive long enough to learn how! This is my first novel and I'm writing it initially for the Young Adult reader. Please let me know if you think it works for that genre; especially the prelude, I'm not sure how well the narrator works here. This is my entry into the Strongest Start Novel competition. Unfortunately, two of the first 3 chapters are also the shortest. I figured a lot will change after I get feedback from the fantastic community here!

Summary:

Dragon Mail Ltd is a postal company that delivers mail between our realm (mainly London and the South East), and a realm that most believe exists only in fantasy books. The main plot is about a young man called Ben struggling to settle into a lifetime of office work. With boredom and a determined, but gradually fading resistance to fight the monotony that is consuming him, Ben stumbles upon a 'fantastic' job opportunity: a position at Dragon Mail Ltd. The story opens with an employee called Frank, embarking on a delivery that's about to go horribly wrong and incidentally lead to Ben’s first clue about the company.

Summary:

Finding the truth is like chasing butterflies, and 16-year-old Nova Harris is about to find out that nobody is exactly who they seem to be. Nova was content living in the protective bubble and musical haven she created with her best friend, Alex Pace. Nova’s living situation wasn’t nearly as pretty as the houses in her upscale neighborhood and being a 15-year-old junior wasn’t winning Alex any popularity points. Their plan at the start of junior year was simple. Stick together, get jobs, fix up Alex’s car, and embark on a cross-country road trip the day after graduation. Alex always said the open road was their artistic portal. Everything changes when Alex finally stands up to the belligerent boyfriend of Nova’s stepsister. Alex’s wounds don’t match the severe beating he takes and he refuses Nova’s help. It brings out a side of Alex she’s never seen before; one that causes him to fall in with a ‘rough’ crowd and cut her out of his life, leaving Nova to face the torment of her stepsister and her stepsister’s boyfriend alone. After Brandon Slater, a mysterious boy with a bad reputation, comes to her defense, he tells Nova that her deadbeat father sent him to look out for her, but insists that telling her why would put her in danger. Determined not to rely on anyone but herself, Nova fights back and uncovers an impossible truth about her family and the reason behind her best friend’s behavior. But it doesn’t end there. Something is slowly unraveling inside of Nova. Something nobody saw coming, least of all herself.
