Winter, 1917. Dorothy never really thought that war would take her older brother, but like so many others before him, Ian enlisted and departed Canada in khaki, leaving Dorothy to care for the youngest Gaston, Charlie. The return of her employer's son eats away at Dorothy: why should he, the rich man's son, the spoiled brat, be back home sleeping in his bed while her brother sleeps in the muck somewhere in France or Belgium? Robbie Monroe isn't the brat who ran off for a great adventure. Nearly deaf in one ear and deeply lonely, he is a man struggling to put his life back together after his time "over there," and Dorothy seems to be the only one he can talk to. She doesn't want to trust him but she can't help it, and Dorothy soon finds herself with something she didn't realize she desperately needed: a friend. Before the war's end, fate has one final reminder for Dorothy that happy endings don't always happen in real life, no matter how much she tells herself they can. Set in in the weeks before the 1917 Halifax Explosion, Shadows May Fall is a non-traditional World War I romance.

- A WATTPAD FEATURED STORY - The year is 1942. War has been raging across Europe for nearly two years now, and the Nazis, hell-bent on expanding their empire and anti-Semitic views, are winning. Only Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union are left to fight them, now. For Evelyn McIntyre, the war is just beginning. She's about to be dropped into enemy occupied France with a rough-and-tumble Jewish man by the name of Gene Rosenberg to fight the Nazis. However, they don't fight in long, drawn-out battles in which the enemy they're fighting is clear. They fight a secret war, one that could prove to be just as deadly as the war the rest of the world sees. This is a sample!

A WATTPAD FEATURED STORY ❝Love pays no attention to color❞ Jasmine Karesh never thought she'd spend her senior year of high school struggling to accept her Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder diagnosis, a disease that forbids her from forgetting the school shooting that led to her uncle's murder. She never expected that her parents would turn on her either, not when she was finally coming to terms with her blood-stained past. The last thing she needs is for an anonymous letter to fall out of her locker, penned by a vigilante who knows her history much too well and is more than willing to use it against her. It's the only way they can avenge the other life lost during the tragedy- the shooter's. Jasmine must identify her threatener before they pick off the remaining survivors of the shooting, one by one. As she tries to stop them, she is faced with a crippling secret- she has fallen for her childhood best friend, a boy that goes against everything her family stands for.
