Victoria Christie never expected to be a writer, but everything changed in 4th grade when she annoyed her mother at a barber shop. She told Victoria to write in her school notebook, which sparked her daughter's life-long passion for writing.

Now, many years later, Victoria is eager to share her story-through an interactive novel that showcases how her writing has changed overtime and what hardships she faced in order to keep her island of personality-especially after her brother's unfortunate death in 2021.

With the power of writing and her brother's legacy about her becoming a successful author, will Victoria's old stories spark the interest of an audience? Will they interact with her and tell her how her incomplete pieces should end, or will Victoria forever remain an undiscovered author?

This is an anthology of my old stories. Most are incomplete, so it's up to my audience to decide how they should end. This is the story of how I became Viktoria Fyodorova.

is not as desolate as it appears.... more>>

Can you bottle happiness? Apparently, you can, and Constantine Angelid is rather good at it, actually. So good, in fact, that it amuses him to ply this trade on a forum in the Dark Web. Yet, he meets an interesting human there, who makes him question all of his truths.
Daniel was just looking for fresh ideas in the Tor browser for his new book. Now, he is involved in the new Dimensional Theory, and the case for disappearing happiness potions that spans all over the Cosmos.
He is given a once-in-a-lifetime chance to come to Ursula 590, a planet in the Ursula Solar System. He gets to be with Constantine, once he finds out he is not only a shaman, but a shaman that can use the core of a planet to power up his spells.
I wrote this last year so I don't remember much about what happened in the book, but I do know it is in 1st person with POVs. The book is complete, and will be updated daily, until I run out of chapters. Enjoy!
The Cosmos Shared Universe is made up from 3 books, which will be posted here in this book page:
Bottle it up!
Dungeon Integration! (dungeon core)
Book Two of the Cosmos Shared Universe
(Sequel to Bottle It Up!)
An m/m fantasy novel with sci-fi elements,
and comedic undertones.
In a world where happiness can be bottled, a dungeon core is displaced from his home when a baby dungeon core sprouts in his backyard.
He’s lucky that a human who is also an immigrant in the Cosmos has grown attached to him. Nathaniel agrees to help Tim spread his influence over the planet Ursula 590.
The problem? Well, dungeon cores might be as numerous as mushrooms in the New Cosmos, but they are unknown in the Cosmos. From petitions to kidnapping attempts, the integration of one World Dominating Dungeon Core has never been as complicated. And, if he can’t win the citizens of Ursula 590 over, then, he will be cast out into outer space.

Rodger Deltona is appalled at the actions of his fellow citizens of the Cosmos. Not only are they demanding that the Dru’dru are to give back the gold left on their planet, they are also demanding that the Dru’dru penguins be reprogrammed, and without a trial.
Rodger takes radical actions, in defense of the poor birds. But is he enough to hold back the tides? Can he and Wei work together, despite their rocky start? Will the Cosmos accept a chimera species, the product of human experimenting? <<less

A young provincial thief of no particular renown has his life of crime changed in a day. He ‘stumbles’ upon a huge pile of gold for starters and soon after a dead man carrying a letter of 'royal' interest. Literally. While at it he ‘earns’ a title of sorts, along the promise of a life out of the gutter. Before he can properly appreciate the dramatic turn of his fortunes, he’s drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that threatens to embroil two continents in a devastating war.... more>>

The whole affair seems to cry out for a gallant hero of old, or failing that a cunning diplomat, but he’s neither. Perhaps a lying scoundrel, which our lad definitely is, would have to suffice. He does ‘acquire’ a dagger that knows a dead language after all and that must count for something.

The golden knight, a summoner of fire and poetry enthusiast who loves speaking in verses takes the huge responsibility of cleansing the negativities that plague the unusual city of Ravenhide. This is the story of a mysterious swordsman with a blurry past and present who embarks on a spiritual journey to uncover his lost memories and decipher the truth behind his existence.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a completed novel that has been edited countless times and sent to Readers Favorites for an honest review.
Below is the review from Carine Engelbrecht from Readers Favorites.... more>>

In Rhythm of Rampage, the enigmatic Golden Knight arrives in Ravenhide, a city plagued in the dark hours by various forms of supernatural life forms. He enlists as a bounty hunter and early on his path crosses that of Blaze, a woman with deep psychological wounds and a sharp pair of blades.

They become professional partners, pooling their talents to kick demonic ass and search for the elusive clues to the true identity of the Golden Knight - or GK for short. Some of GK's abilities suggest that there could be something monstrous about his aspect. The mysteries of Ravenhide are interwoven with harsher realities on another world - the cruel dystopia of Sinners Planet.

One of the best things about the story is a truly fascinating bestiary of monsters. Most of these tend to hide under the camouflage of human skin. And that can be downright twisty. It keeps the pace tight and drives the mystery and action of the story. It makes you question the nature of nearly every character, including the Golden Knight himself. This fluidity of internal logic is reminiscent of a computer game world, where an occasional shuffling of reality can bring new elements into play. The two main characters are clearly drawn. GK is defined by his underlying compassion, whereas Blaze hides troubling memories beneath an abrasive, wise-cracking exterior. Rhythm of Rampage is an entertaining, action-packed read, especially for fans of sword and sorcery or SF noir." <<less
