She overcame heartbreak. She overcame failure. She overcame depression. She overcame rape, But she wouldn't allow anything or anyone define her. Highest ranking: #5 in Non-fiction. Based on a true story.

World War II is underway. Germans drop their bombs on the streets of London. Emmeline is charged with being strong for her Daddy and to take care of her Maman and her little sister Madeline, as they make their way to Bannerscombe Manor, an old familial estate that was purchased after a mysterious price drop. The sun shines brighter than London here. And birds chirp louder. And the forest comes alive with colour and sound. And there is so much house to explore, so many nooks and crannies to be delved into. There is so much to see. Like the little skeletons that line the basement beneath the walls. Like the portraits that change when nobody is looking. Like the series of dreams that haunt Emmeline since her first night in Bannerscombe. Like the Great Old Ones, patiently waiting, watching, baiting and yearning for fresh blood. Madeline's blood. +++ Illustrated by @NeverCatchMe Amazing cover by @hxrmonize-

Ava is a fifteen-year-old girl on holiday with her family and best friend. The day after Christmas, she and her relatives head to the beach, where a tsunami strikes and washes away everything in sight. With numerous injuries, Ava manages to pull through, but loses sight of her loved ones. Meanwhile, she must push aside her sorrow and find shelter with all of the other orphans, where she meets a boy named Isaac. Similar to Ava's situation, Isaac's parents are nowhere to be found. Together, they search frantically for their families in all the hospitals and shelters, and do everything to overcome the trauma the tide has brought them.

My Dark friend, I have written those letters for you. It's getting darker before midnight .

A collection of poems.

It gets better. Isn't that what they say? Amethyst Turner isn't so sure. She waits and waits, but things only get worse. She sees happy families on TV, with a father and mother that love each other and their kids. They have a dog, and a nice house with curtains and heating. And the little girl in the TV family, she sleeps on a fluffy mattress, not a cardboard box. Her Daddy takes her to the park to play fetch with the dog when he comes home from work instead of getting drunk and passing out. TV girl's mother doesn't ignore her; she braids her hair and plays tea party with her. She looks and looks for the love that she knows is out there for her -- but it's nowhere to be found. And at only three years old, Amethyst finds herself alone in the world. ------ Trigger warning. Just generally. ----- Cover by @sparkes ---- #301 in General Fiction 7/5/16
