I'd love to hear your thought on my new novel, A Word of Praise.

Kiara sat at her small kitchen table literally bumping her head into the wood. Several times. Why the hell did she agree to spend four days in a fucking island with loaded snobs she knew nothing about? Of course, she didn’t know exactly what she signed up for before she accepted his offer, but she knew it came from the guy who sent her to fucking jail and said yes anyway.
And based on what? A hunch. Something so intangible and arbitrary she would be unable to explain even to her dad, who was always a firm believer in following your gut. But she saw it, right there hiding behind his handsome stoic façade. He was… desperate.

All Kiara has in life is her passion for art. Her career as a circus performer is a constant search for real attention, for people to see through the veil of plain entertainment. Chris Wright is the heir to one of the most profitable construction empires of the city, but to get to the top he needs the approval of his authoritarian father. Who knows what will happen when art meets business and passion meets duty?

        Title : THE NOBLE'S PROMISE.
        EXCERPT : "Jayden, your grandfather gave a promise to Queen Camellia, the mother of King Henry to protect their kingdom after the death of her King consort. And as you know about the backstabbing of Edward II. It seems like we are incompetent in fulfilling the promise of your grandfather. For protecting the throne of Orbloem and giving its actual Ruler back the only way possible is to have a relationship with the Bloemen Royal Family other than Frienship. As Rosaleigh is the crown princess of Orbloem and you're the heir apparent to Swedwish throne. I want you to marry Rosaleigh." Grandmama adjured.

        Without any further thoughts I stood to my feet and picked up the box from the mahogany table.
        "Your wish my command mormor." I smiled and bowed at her before leaving the library.

        Being Born to a royal family is not a cake walk. We're taught to abide by our elder's wish. And here it was about the promise my late grandfather made to Queen Camellia. Or'bloem is a comparatively small monarchy than Swedway. And the only way I see to regain and protect Orbloem's land is to marry Rosaleigh.

        I am a Royalty and fulfilling my grandfather's promise is my duty.

        I'll fulfill a NOBLE PROMISE.


        SYNOPSIS : Jayden Alexander Krigston wants to marry Rosaleigh Isabelle Bloemen to fulfill his grandfather's promise. In that attempt he indeed falls in love with Rosaleigh. But as always fate has another plans..

        How will Jayden being a NOBLE fulfill the PROMISE?

I just started to using forum for my personal gain. Believe me I am fairly ne in asking for votes and reviews. My last two novels resting in peace because of lack of readers and reviews. Maybe I didn't write that good but still you hope for best. Okay for now I won't be promoting my book. When compitition willbe finish I will surely promote my book here.

              PROLOGUE

              "God created man in his own image and likeness. To rule over all other creatures on earth. He then took one of the man's ribs while he was in a deep sleep and formed a woman out of it so she could be with the man."- Mrs. Bauer preaches early in the morning. She's a good old widow across the street. I heard she's really religious so I understood her everyday scene.

              "Good morning Mrs. Bauer!" I shouted at her direction. She looked at me and smiled, then frowned a second after. "What's wrong Mrs. Bauer?" I asked immediately. Her eyes widened and then she opened her mouth "Stay away from me! You took my dear husband, and now you come and get me? Vanish from here and return to your place!" she raised her voice, on the verge of crying while pointing somewhere in the open space. She then placed her two hands on her head as if it was aching. She paced back and forth while she murmured "Not yet. Not yet. This isn't what I saw" in a soft weak voice.

              Mrs. Bauer hurriedly walked inside her home and shuts her door. She has always been strange but this is beyond her regular tantrums. I did not know what to do next. It scared me but I wanted to go by with my day and so I just brushed it off.

              I was on my way to school when I suddenly felt a sudden gush of air. No vehicle passed by me and I was alone in the streets. I changed my pace. My heart beat faster and louder by the second. Then one by one, the trees, buildings and the houses disappeared into darkness.

              "You are finally home my child"

              The deep, low, rumbling voice resounded like the wind on a stormy night. I can't see the source of the sound but I can certainly hear it. "I am not your child!" I shouted in response - using all the strength and courage I have. But as soon as I uttered those words, 'he' howled with laughter. The menacing noise echoed and l was there, standing in the middle of nowhere - terrified and in tears.

              "You will soon know the truth" – a scratchy, sinister voice answered against my defiance. I yelped and jumped from where I was. The eerie sound was just right beside my ears this time. I lost my balance and fell to the ground. I frantically examined my surroundings, but no one is there as I looked around. Chills ran up my spine and so I decided quickly.
              Run! - I command myself.

              I managed to stand up despite my fear. My shaky knees supported my weak body as I haste towards the nothingness - Unsteady but was determined to escape and be somewhere but here. I panted. My chest ached but I can't stop now. I won't stop and so I clenched my fist and gritted my teeth. "He can't harm you. You are stronger than this" I say to myself. Trying to convince me that everything is going to be alright.

              Every step was a struggle. It feels like I'm being dragged by an unseen force. Like there are thousands of men holding my arms and legs. My movement was slowing by the second as I sweat, trying to fight away my exhaustion. My breathing starts to feel heavy and the air escapes faster than I take them in. My cold hands are trembling and my vision starts to blurry.

              "Please help me. Anyone, just anybody!"
              I repeatedly whispered in between my breaths. I waited for someone to answer. For that somebody to call my name, to show and lead me the way, but no one replied to my plea. No one is there to save me.

              "I am here my child. I can end your suffering. You don't need anyone else but your own flesh and blood" the unknown dark voice again resonated and the vibrations danced through the thin air. "Stop in your tracks and surrender thyself" he continues. I wanted to answer and rebel against his demands but no words came out. I got no strength left after all.
              I collapsed and fell on my knees. I can feel pain prick on my palms as they were scraped by the impact. Now, adjacent to the ground, I feel the gravity pulling me more than ever. I see vines emerged from beneath me, crawled up to my feet then to my legs. I grabbed them one by one, pulling them away from me - but that was a huge mistake. The muddy vines made their way to my arms then to my shoulders until it embraced my head. All I could do was scream.

              "Noooo!!.. Dooon't!!.. I exclaimed as if it had ears and conscience to listen and show mercy. The needle like thorns of the vines are piercing my skin. Blood mixed with my sweat trickle down my face. My feet are now slowly descending into the muddy ground. I twitched my body in the attempt to escape but it only worsen my situation. I know I am dying slowly. I raised my head facing the sky and started to see flashbacks of my childhood.

              I saw Hazy images of my mom, my sister and my loving dad. The dog I had as a gift. My crying face when my ice cream dirtied my favorite dress. The first bike ride I had when I was eight. My colorful birthday cake when I was eleven… and my dad's confident back when he said goodbye as he was leaving for work. I saw them all, it was painful and it made me weep.

              In the moment of sadness and despair, I felt something hit my face and there I saw drops of liquid falling down from the red sky - it's raining blood. It poured nonstop and covered the whole area. I gasped for air before my head was plunged completely - where nobody could ever find me.

                Hi. I am writing for the first time and would appreciate for some feedback.
                https://www.webnovel.com/book/unknowingly-lost_17953837505705905

                It might be slow in the beginning. I am only up to Chapter 12 and I do update daily.

                To summarise, it is about a girl who stumbled across the unknown world - where there's vampire and genies.
                The catch is, she is totally clueless she is living in a place where vampires and human are intermingling.

                I tag it under mystery because she is clueless about their existence. Romance is there because romance will be there eventually.

                        Pain, that's all I feel right now. My temples ache with this head-splitting throb and it feels like I've been in car wreck. There's a putrid, metallic taste like blood and vomit in my mouth. Did I have another heavy night of binge drinking? That's when I noticed the tug in my arm and the feeling of being dragged across the dirty, filthy ground..... then the feeling of something sliding down from my temple. My eyes open and I see the used bullet settling in the dirt  that just worked its way out of my skull as I'm dragged along.

                        The memories came rushing back in a whirl of being caught by a bunch of drug cartel thugs and being shot in the head after they questioned and searched me. Finding nothing they slap me around before destroying my dead cellphone. I had told them tears in my eyes, ' I was out hiking and got lost.' They didn't care and put me on my knees and pulled the trigger. Now I'm awake again.

                        " Damn this dumb, heavy, bitch!" The lackey of these drug runners curses at me before dropping my arm to the floor. I remain still not wanting to miss the shock and surprise that's about to show up on his stupid, vile, cracked out face.

                        That's when I hear the quite shuffles of little feet nearby. I chance a peek through my lashes and see crude made bars for a holding cell and a few sets of dirty little toes moving away from the bars. The lackey turns to the cell and starts yelling at whoever is in there.

                        "You little sh*ts better just back away and remember to behave or you'll end up like this piece of dead trash. Tomorrow you're going to see the doc before you end up in your new 'forever home'." he laughs at the the trembling kids and I hear the quiet sobs as he continues to taunt them.

                        'These sick bastards!'

                        I start to stand up quietly, slowly as he's taunting the children who they plan on turning into "human mules" for their drug running operation. One pair of eyes catch mine, these big brown eyes that suddenly spark with a glimmer of hope seeing me give him a lopsided grin before tapping the lackeys shoulder.

                        "What the---!" This stupid idiot starts to stutter before I notice he's pi$sed himself and from the smell, those pants are never going to be washed by anyone ever again.

                        "what's the matter?" I ask a little innocently but my sinister intent was all to evident in my eyes. "You look like you've had an accident" I point to his obvious spot, " looks like "the trash" is going to have to take you out."

                        I pull out my hidden needle blade from my coat sleeve hem and before he's able to yell out, I stab him deep into his eye. His hands were halfway up to try to defend himself but quickly dropped along with his twitching body as I used his gravity as fell to retrieve my weapon.

                        "Man! I should start wearing a go-pro when I do this. I'll never be able to replicate that again!" I exclaim in disbelief as I imagine that looked as cool as it felt.

                        I look up and remember the kids in the holding cell are looking at me with shocked and blank faces.

                        awkward silence for a few seconds

                        There's about 10 kids in the cell all between the ages of 6-13. These kids are lucky I came today.

                        " I'm not here to hurt you guys." I said hoping I didn't scare them.

                        "We know." one little girl around 10 says.

                        click goes the light bulb in my head

                        'oh yeah, he was just dragging my body, huh?' I thought

                        Shrugging with embarrassment I check the lackey for keys grimacing as his pockets are wet from his earlier reaction from fear and remind myself to bleach the hell out my hands later.

                        Suddenly another little girl speaks, " lady, the keys on the wall behind you" and I looked up to follow her hand in the direction she's pointing.

                        I look at the key, her, the dead lackey, and my hands which I want to burn off me right now, before getting the key to let out the kids.

                        " You guys know how to get out of here?" a few shake their heads yes.

                        " Okay, you guys need to wait until you hear a lot of commotion outside, you will hear a big blast, the bad guys will be distracted up there, that's when you're going to run and get out of here. Now I have friends out there that are going to be shooting at the bad guys so don't get in the way and don't pick up a weapon unless you absolutely have to. They will have a badge on their chest. If you see that badge they will help you. If you don't see them, keep running until you get to a town. Go to the police, fire department, a hospital, wherever you get to first, they will  help you, trust no one unless you see a badge." I tell them quickly and earnestly knowing I can't protect them all when the chaos starts.

                        I get nods of agreement before I leave turning to head back up from the basements dug out hallways following my drag marks my body left. I check to see and listen for any movement outside the dug hallways.

                        Once I'm sure it's clear, I check my shoes hidden compartment for my remote detonator. It's for the C-4 explosives I set up earlier around the warehouse compound and a couple trucks before I got caught. Good it's still there and I quickly attach it to my strap on the palm of my glove and grab my Bluetooth headset from the other shoes spot.

                        I press the button and immediately a male voice anxiously picks up, " Sin! what the hell is going on in there?"

                        I roll my eyes and think 'there is my mother hen',

                        " Well, you know, they invited me in for tea and cakes before putting lead in my head."  I replied with as much sarcasm as I could whisper to him.

                        " Damn it Sin, I can feel your eyes rolling through the phone. Now when should I send in the team."

                        ' Oh a frustrated response? He was worried. I have got to keep this up.'

                        "Didn't we have this talk earlier today? I feel like you just don't listen to me anymore. Have you heard a boom by chance?" I ask pitiful sounding and dripping with sarcasm.

                        " No. " he grunts in response after a long breathy sigh.

                        " Well then once you hear the boom you can send in your boys. Heads up though, there will be kids heading out once I blow shit up. They were planning to make them into pack mules the poor things." I get serious again and shake my head in disgust.

                        "Okay we can handle the kids, I'll let the team know to show them their badge if they run across them. Sin, make sure you blow some of these bastards up, they don't deserve to rot in prison."

                        I chuckle "Will do."

                        Grinning, I hang up and put the Bluetooth back in my shoe before swiftly turning around to see the little boy I first saw earlier.

                        " Get out of here kid, it's about to get crazy and I can't be worrying about you too." He shakes his head and just stares at me.

                        'Stubborn little lad. I don't got time to argue with him.'

                        I shrug, "It's your funeral then kid if you can't stay out of sight or get caught with me."

                        I creep further up into the warehouse from the basement scaring the hell out of the two guys walking around before slicing a throat and stabbing the other one in the eye. That blade retrieval was not nearly as smooth as the last. In fact, I had to step on his body and yank it out hard just to fall on my rear. I stand up and rub my tailbone before it's back to normal.

                        The last guy I found before heading out of the basement was about to shoot up.  I was attempting to creep up on him and end it quickly until the door creaked that was open when I touched it.

                        When he saw me he plunged his drug filled syringe in his arm before standing up to fight me.

                        "I don't think you should have done that." I nonchalantly shrugged my shoulders as I saw the change in him as the drugs rapidly hit him. His eyes seemed to glaze over before he started acting all macho.

                        "Whatever b*tch, if you weren't dead before, you're about to be now." he stands, fists up and takes a swing.

                        I dodged his first couple of fists, blocking them left and right. Then he fakes a right hook that I fall for that gives his left fist the opportunity and  breaks my jaw.

                        By the way, I'm not a great boxer.

                        "Ahh!"

                        I cry out as my shattered jaw makes my lower lip jut off to the side and the blood flows from my mouth.

                        I stand up and wipe some blood off my drooling mouth, tears pouring down my cheeks. It hurts like Hell but I feel the twinge as my body starts the repair.

                        He laughs seeing me crying. Then suddenly he stops and looks again at me before his eyes widen in shock. My jaw begins to move and pops back over where it belongs and I spit the leftover blood and saliva at his feet.

                        " Is that all you got?" I laugh at my cheesy borrowed line before seeing him start to gasp for air. He starts to vomit and that's when I hear the 'death rattle' of his gurgling, gasping last breaths.

                        I smile and chuckle ironically as he falls to the ground unable to keep him self up right as he's overdosed on his drugs. "You know what they say, sometimes our own self is our worst enemy. Looks like you took care of yourself for me."

                        I turn to head farther out of the warehouse before giving him one last bit of advice, "Don't you know you shouldn't do drugs? They're bad for you."

                        I laugh as I hear his aggravated angry gurgles as he drowns himself in his own blood and vomit.

                        The kid is still following me and I motion for him to stay down while I peak out to the Warehouse floor. The large loading bay door is open and I see a bunch a thugs hanging on one of the vehicles outside. One that I rigged with C-4 earlier. I pull my self back and tell the kid to take cover and cover his ears.

                        He looks up at me with his eyes shining from his dirty face before doing what I said as I get down low too.

                        With a devious smile I open my palm and press the trigger on the remote.

                        BOOM

                          What Happened to 'Happily Ever After?'
                          By: Mara_Heller

                          Synopsis: 'My name is Mary, but I go by Sin.'

                          Mary was a normal person trying to do her part during a time of war. A tragic situation leads her to chance upon a Fairy, something that no one has done in almost a century.

                          Little does she realize the fairy gives her a "gift" to see what good she can do. Later on when Mary becomes Sin and she tries to make the best of this "gift", she can't help but feel like it's more of a curse over the years. Yet when a man comes and makes her fall in love unexpectedly, she will try to undo this cursed gift no matter what it takes. She deserves a chance at 'happily ever after'.

                          Pain, that's all I feel right now. My temples ache with this head-splitting throb and it feels like I've been in car wreck. There's a putrid, metallic taste like blood and vomit in my mouth. Did I have another heavy night of binge drinking? That's when I noticed the tug in my arm and the feeling of being dragged across the dirty, filthy ground..... then the feeling of something sliding down from my temple. My eyes open and I see the used bullet settling in the dirt  that just worked its way out of my skull as I'm dragged along.

                          The memories came rushing back in a whirl of being caught by a bunch of drug cartel thugs and being shot in the head after they questioned and searched me. Finding nothing they slap me around before destroying my dead cellphone. I had told them tears in my eyes, ' I was out hiking and got lost.' They didn't care and put me on my knees and pulled the trigger. Now I'm awake again.

                          " Damn this dumb, heavy, bitch!" The lackey of these drug runners curses at me before dropping my arm to the floor. I remain still not wanting to miss the shock and surprise that's about to show up on his stupid, vile, cracked out face.

                          That's when I hear the quite shuffles of little feet nearby. I chance a peek through my lashes and see crude made bars for a holding cell and a few sets of dirty little toes moving away from the bars. The lackey turns to the cell and starts yelling at whoever is in there.

                          "You little sh*ts better just back away and remember to behave or you'll end up like this piece of dead trash. Tomorrow you're going to see the doc before you end up in your new 'forever home'." he laughs at the the trembling kids and I hear the quiet sobs as he continues to taunt them.

                          'These sick bastards!'

                          I start to stand up quietly, slowly as he's taunting the children who they plan on turning into "human mules" for their drug running operation. One pair of eyes catch mine, these big brown eyes that suddenly spark with a glimmer of hope seeing me give him a lopsided grin before tapping the lackeys shoulder.

                          "What the---!" This stupid idiot starts to stutter before I notice he's pi$sed himself and from the smell, those pants are never going to be washed by anyone ever again.

                          "what's the matter?" I ask a little innocently but my sinister intent was all to evident in my eyes. "You look like you've had an accident" I point to his obvious spot, " looks like "the trash" is going to have to take you out."

                          I pull out my hidden needle blade from my coat sleeve hem and before he's able to yell out, I stab him deep into his eye. His hands were halfway up to try to defend himself but quickly dropped along with his twitching body as I used his gravity as fell to retrieve my weapon.

                          "Man! I should start wearing a go-pro when I do this. I'll never be able to replicate that again!" I exclaim in disbelief as I imagine that looked as cool as it felt.

                          I look up and remember the kids in the holding cell are looking at me with shocked and blank faces.

                          awkward silence for a few seconds

                          There's about 10 kids in the cell all between the ages of 6-13. These kids are lucky I came today.

                          " I'm not here to hurt you guys." I said hoping I didn't scare them.

                          "We know." one little girl around 10 says.

                          click goes the light bulb in my head

                          'oh yeah, he was just dragging my body, huh?' I thought

                          Shrugging with embarrassment I check the lackey for keys grimacing as his pockets are wet from his earlier reaction from fear and remind myself to bleach the hell out my hands later.

                          Suddenly another little girl speaks, " lady, the keys on the wall behind you" and I looked up to follow her hand in the direction she's pointing.

                          I look at the key, her, the dead lackey, and my hands which I want to burn off me right now, before getting the key to let out the kids.

                          " You guys know how to get out of here?" a few shake their heads yes.

                          " Okay, you guys need to wait until you hear a lot of commotion outside, you will hear a big blast, the bad guys will be distracted up there, that's when you're going to run and get out of here. Now I have friends out there that are going to be shooting at the bad guys so don't get in the way and don't pick up a weapon unless you absolutely have to. They will have a badge on their chest. If you see that badge they will help you. If you don't see them, keep running until you get to a town. Go to the police, fire department, a hospital, wherever you get to first, they will  help you, trust no one unless you see a badge." I tell them quickly and earnestly knowing I can't protect them all when the chaos starts.

                          I get nods of agreement before I leave turning to head back up from the basements dug out hallways following my drag marks my body left. I check to see and listen for any movement outside the dug hallways.

                          Once I'm sure it's clear, I check my shoes hidden compartment for my remote detonator. It's for the C-4 explosives I set up earlier around the warehouse compound and a couple trucks before I got caught. Good it's still there and I quickly attach it to my strap on the palm of my glove and grab my Bluetooth headset from the other shoes spot.

                          I press the button and immediately a male voice anxiously picks up, " Sin! what the hell is going on in there?"

                          I roll my eyes and think 'there is my mother hen',

                          " Well, you know, they invited me in for tea and cakes before putting lead in my head."  I replied with as much sarcasm as I could whisper to him.

                          " Damn it Sin, I can feel your eyes rolling through the phone. Now when should I send in the team."

                          ' Oh a frustrated response? He was worried. I have got to keep this up.'

                          "Didn't we have this talk earlier today? I feel like you just don't listen to me anymore. Have you heard a boom by chance?" I ask pitiful sounding and dripping with sarcasm.

                          " No. " he grunts in response after a long breathy sigh.

                          " Well then once you hear the boom you can send in your boys. Heads up though, there will be kids heading out once I blow shit up. They were planning to make them into pack mules the poor things." I get serious again and shake my head in disgust.

                          "Okay we can handle the kids, I'll let the team know to show them their badge if they run across them. Sin, make sure you blow some of these bastards up, they don't deserve to rot in prison."

                          I chuckle "Will do."

                          Grinning, I hang up and put the Bluetooth back in my shoe before swiftly turning around to see the little boy I first saw earlier.

                          " Get out of here kid, it's about to get crazy and I can't be worrying about you too." He shakes his head and just stares at me.

                          'Stubborn little lad. I don't got time to argue with him.'

                          I shrug, "It's your funeral then kid if you can't stay out of sight or get caught with me."

                          I creep further up into the warehouse from the basement scaring the hell out of the two guys walking around before slicing a throat and stabbing the other one in the eye.

                                Hi! I'm new to WebNovel. I have a story up currently called A Long Way from home
                                Link here: https://www.webnovel.com/book/a-long-way-from-home_18007833405916705

                                Genre: Fantasy Fiction
                                Please give it a read!
                                Synopsis: Alienor Macchius is suddenly married to a neighboring country's prince after her father struggled to find her a suitor due to her constant rejections. He thinks that they will make the perfect match. Essentially, they are incompatible. This is the story of her failed marriage essentially. I have to update the synopsis later once it gets to where I need it to be.

                                    This novel is my own spin on a cultivation story. There is no reincarnation or transmigration or a system. The MC's op power is a logical part of the world. The MC is a logical part of the world. There will be a huge focus on OP treasures as the title suggests!

                                    Beginning is slow paced but aims to develop characters that the reader can become invested in. Story is not a treadmill of cliches but my unique take on a cultivation world.

                                      Hello! So far there's only one chapter but I do plan to write more :D
                                      If you don't mind spending a bit of time reading it that would be greatly appreciated!

                                      Synopsis:
                                      The apocalypse had arrived. Everyone was sad, terrified, anxious-
                                      Wait a second, someone was smiling?
                                      It wasn't your neighborhood sadist?
                                      It wasn't the reincarnated evil monarch?
                                      It wasn't even the the prepared transmigrator?
                                      The the who the hell-?

                                      "Hi, I'm the neighborhood Doomsday fanatic!"

                                      "..."

                                      After repeating countless lives living through the apocalypse, Kefi Ukiyo finally had enough. No, he didn't go down the hero's road of destruction, or the omnipotent god- no, no, no-
                                      he went down the 'I can't stop doomsday so I might as well cause it!' road..

                                      And thus, the doomsday fanatic was born.

                                          Right now I have started writing a new novel "In Scarlet world". It is vampire werewolves story which revolves around the 18 years old girl who is first human vampire on earth. She is by birth half human and half vampire making her unique in many ways.

                                          She have more powers than any other vampire in world. Right now in this world vampires are living with humans with the mask of human only. Vampires werewolves are legends now.
                                          But soon things starts to change when Shen Nuwa turns 18. Now the whole world is under the shadow of war between vamires and werewolves...Will she be able to stop the war?? If war broke down will humans help her in surviving process?? Will her love Wang Jun will able to make it till the end with her.

                                          This is the small blurb of my story. Now just 9 chapters are there but if you can support me with your comments, I want to write it till the end.

                                              Scarletheart84 Hello. I read your story and it was really nice. The plot, character development, and sentences are unique.
                                              I'm also writing a story on vampires. The female lead also similar to yours, Half-human and half-vampire. But she doesn't know it since she started living with humans and got accustomed to them. And the story is a romantic one. I would love it if you give it a read and put it in your collection. Please let me know your thoughts about it!
                                              Thank you.
