    Rated PG-13 because some themes might be touchy subjects to some people. No smut. No gore. No profanity. Lucy, the first born of the noble and notably rich Trevana family, had it all; fine clothes, wealth, and even her own bodyguard... at least until her title was stripped of her. Being dubbed unfit of the family name due to her irresponsible lifestyle, her father, Fereydoun Trevana, declared that she must depart from their home and forsake the family name until such a time as she proved herself worthy. Left with nothing but a small sum of money, which she squanders in less than a week, and her best friend and body guard Rodney Marcel, Lucy must now learn to put an end to her riotous, albeit innocent, living while Marcel desperately fights to keep her away from speakeasies in the Callistan prohibition. As Lucy makes her way, she meets different people, each one changing her slightly for the better or worse, who drag her into the affairs of their lives and eventually get her and Marcel mixed up in political, economical, and religious disaster which threatens the safety of the whole solar system. Set in a futuristic version of our world in which the planets have been terreformed, For Want of a Name begins on Callisto in the city Galilea, but a sudden turn of events eventually brings them to the planet where life began and still thrives as the central power of the solar system, Earth.

    "In a world where no one is clean, what's the harm in a bit of acting?" The year is 1928 and Toni Perconte is suspicious. Crime is as common as a cold in Brooklyn, so when her best friend Geno Maglio surprises her with a ring worth more then he has ever made at the butcher's, Toni knew something stank. She just didn't expect to be a part of it. When a unexpected man comes to her work in need of a little "favor" and Geno comes home covered in blood, she has no option. Now Toni has to blend into a social scene she never wanted, to distract the son of someone she doesn't even know, to get some papers she knows nothing about. It's simple, but no one said it would be easy.

    Nestled in the heart of Long Island--in the midst of the New York underground prohibition scene during the Jazz Age--lies a speakeasy. The Adagio, now owned only by Don Farley after a falling out with his ex-business partner, Divo Iacovelli. A typical dispute between shared business owners--One gets greedy and wants the whole business, the other wants a shared business or bust. They split, and form their own gangs. Don thought that would be the end of the matter. Little did he know, Divo was no where near finished. [This is a story I wrote a while back, with no intention of publishing, but here we are. It is raw, completely unedited. All Characters are mine.]

    "How much do you charge?" The man asked. "What?" Erica was bewildered at the question. "Look if it's a high price, I'll pay it as long as you don't have the clap or something" Erica then put two and two together. This man thought she was a prostitute. A fucking prostitute. She then threw her cigarette on the ground and slapped the man hard across his face. He was in shock. "I am not a whore you rude bastard!" She shrieked absolutely livid at his assumption and pushed past him making her way back home. He was truly shocked at the girls actions, never being turned away from a girl. It didn't matter whether if the girl was a whore or a very respectful lady, it never happened. 25th of March 2018-

    It's the mid 1920s, and Luke has finally saved up enough money to join his friends in the United States - something they had dreamed of since kids. Luke wants nothing more than to meet up with old pals Calum, Michael, and Ashton, and for the four to be best friends again like they were back in Australia, but it seems that living in prohibition era America has changed his friends more than he could imagine. Some of them seem to have gotten caught up in the lucrative illegal side of the roaring '20s, yet others seem to have been drawn to the opposite side. How will Luke fit in to this new setting; will he be able to fulfill his dreams of opening a tea and cake shop, or will he get sucked into illicit activities by his old friends?

    Някога казвали ли са ви, че най-силно копнеем за онова, което не можем да имаме? Той - тайнствен, студен и неспособен да обича. Тя - младо момиче с чисто сърце и поглед, който прониква зад маските. Между тях зее пропаст - възраст, морал, граници, които никога не бива да се прекрачват. Ала нейната доброта, наивна смелост и копнеж да го разбере събуждат у него нещо, което отдавна е мъртво - желание. Забранено. Опасно. Всепоглъщащо. Колко далеч е готов да стигне той, за да я има? И може ли нещо толкова погрешно... да се превърне в нещо истинско?
