Hello. My name is Genevieve, but I'm almost always called Gen because people are too lazy to say Genevieve. Personally, I have no preference so call me whatever you want. But not Genny. I hate Genny.

Other than that, there's nothing interesting about me to say. I'm a very boring crazy cat lady in the making :P

“Nobody is a villain in their own story. We’re all the heroes of our own stories.”

George R. R. Martin

Hya, I am S.D Stevens

Yorkshire lass born and bred! I live in a small village in West Yorkshire. That’s in the UK. I am in my forties and loving life. I am married; we have been together for around twenty years. We were childhood sweethearts, who fell apart in our teens and then around fifteen years later we bumped into each other and feel head over heels. I really should write our story we have had interesting lives and our story is bitter sweet.

In the past few years I have done a good bit of charity work for the MND association (Motor Neuron Disease). The cause is close to our hearts. My dad lost his fight with MND at the end of 2013 and I miss him dearly. However, he was a great dad and taught me to try and be the best example in life I could possibly be. One of the last conversations we had, we talked about my writing and he said how much he would love for me to get some of my work published.

I am a mother of six children, three boys and four girls. My oldest girls are married with children of their own. I have four granddaughters and three grandsons.

We have been blessed with an abundance of talent. The children and I are very musical, from singing to playing an assortment of instruments. My eldest daughter writes and edits for a few online magazines and also edits for me.

I was encouraged to start writing by my eldest daughter and my brother. She said I should start to write to get some of the stuff in my head out of there. And it works. I started writing about ten years ago. I have not had anything published as I thought it wasn’t good enough. I have had friends read some of my work and they loved it. My brother also writes and after having a few short stories published in a magazine in the 80's, he has since written books he will not share with the public. So I urge him to do as he told me.

I do read a lot; my favourite authors are Nicky Charles, Stephen King, James Herbert, Elizabeth Hunter, Belinda Boring, Robin Parish, Jan Gordon, S.C Stephens and Donna McDonald. There are more but too many to mention. I like supernatural, mystery, horror, romance and fantasy books.

I do not have any formal training; I left school many many years ago with no qualifications. It was in the days when jobs were relatively easy to come by. About ten years ago I did my GCSE English and got a B. It meant a lot to me to do it and hopefully I would like to add maths to that.

I follow a few independent authors who publish their works for free. I admire them and hope I can have a bit of the success they have had. I think there is much to be said about E-publishing. I do have my work on display on other websites. My goal is to publish my books using an online independent site. I don’t want to be tide down with a publisher and deadlines. I also want to write what I like and not what I am told.

I am religious; I am a Christian. I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I won’t say any more about my religion other than, I don’t judge others on what they believe and would like the same respect.

That’s me – S.D Stevens

The Tales of Alhanassa

The work I have on Fiction Press and Spark A Tale, are about Alhanassa, it is a young magical world, where much of life’s mysteries are still to be discovered. However, their world is in turmoil as the once peaceful people are now split into two major nations, their magic, that was once strong, is divided as they fight against each other. The Tales of Alhanassa cover around two thousand years (sil’hna, in their language) of their history.

The stories start right at the beginning when Alhanassa is about to become populated. Bodelia’s Anguish explains that the Alhanassii people believe in a Most High Goddess that brings them life and is symbolised by the sun, and the goddesses of the three moons that govern the seasons (cycles), Ostar, Lithna and Imbhane. It explains why there is a darkness that is threatening to overshadow their world, and where it originates from.

The first trilogy, The Sisterhood Trilogy – Follows three sisters of a special order (The Clar’hen Order) whose mandate is to protect artefacts, prophecies and knowledge for all of people and not just one faction or nation. This trilogy tells of the darkness rising from the north that will threaten their world. It reveals their prophecies of how the darkness can be banished, and how their torn world can once again be made whole. The three, very different characters all follow the same overall story line, while each have their own tale to tell.

The second trilogy, covers the stories of the princess and prince that will reunite aspects of their world, but were the prophecies right? Or were they misread? In three epic stories, the reader will follow the coming of age of Princess Kohinora, a reluctant heir to the Throne of Leilan, her internal struggle with emotions and magic she is ill prepared for and the hard decisions of falling in love with a man she could never look to for a future heir to her kingdom. Read of the battle against the dark magic and against a queen who thinks that reuniting the people means her world domination.

An epic tale is about to begin……

OATH TO THE REVIEW REVOLUTION

I, Esca Skye, do solemnly swear to review all the stories I enjoy, regardless of the number of reviews, its age, or anything else.

I have joined the review revolution, post this in your profile and join the revolution!

(Oath taken from A.Nonymous)

*****

Heya!

I'm a twenty year old returning user who likes to game, and my favorite one of all time would have to be Life Is Strange by DONTNOD Entertainment. I write for fun but I unfortunately don't write on a consistent basis due to real life commitments, which makes my update schedule here pretty inconsistent too.

I'm up for review exchanges, as can be implied from the oath above. If you send me a personal message asking me to read one of your works and leave a review, I will, but I do ask for patience because of how hectic my schedule is, as I'm currently studying for another (second, for those who've seen me before) degree. In return, I do ask that whoever asks me to read and review their work to leave a review on any of my works too. Not bad right? I'll try to be as helpful as I can be in the review. Please feel free to remind me about whatever I owe if I do not get to in a week or two's time.

PS: I post my works on other sites too, not just this one. I use the same username except they're written as "EscaSkye" rather than "Esca Skye"; so, if you see my books elsewhere and is under the variation of my username on this site, then that's me. However, if you find my works under a DIFFERENT name, kindly tell me. It would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

That's it for now. Have a great day, everyone!

Writing has been a hobby of mine for quite awhile now and I have written a few short stories focused mainly on historical settings (Canadian ones moreso) and some fantasy ones too. Those stories are on FictionPress.com and my username is the same as it is on this site (Nicole Armas). I am on FanFiction.net as well under the username Miss Voltara. I am also on Penana. 

I take inspiration from my own personal experiences as well as people and events in history and authors from the Victorian age like Charles Dickens, Herman Melville, and Edgar Allan Poe. Some of my most favourite books are: All Quiet on the Western Front, Moby Dick, The Fifth Mountain, Paco's Story, The Guns of Normandy, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (and all the other original stories), Three Day Road, Oliver Twist, The Great Gatsby, Peace Shall Destroy Many, and Dracula.

Complete Stories:

• Have you News of my Boy Jack?
• The Last Dragon
• The Simple Beliefs of a Simple Man

•  Where Chaos Reigns

Hello everybodiez!

I've been writing stories since before I could spell properly.

I know I'm not very good at it but I'm addicted and stuck in the world of writing and drawing.

Callie Cameron (my main character) has been my constant companion for about... twelve years now so i decided to share her with the world!

I do take suggestions and (nice) critiques. I need all the help i can get! So don't be afraid to let me know how i can improve!

Laterz!

Okay, I AM willing to read other people's stories on these conditions:

No profanity/ strong language. No massive violence. No Sci-fi (because i just DON"T understand it)

There can be romance as long as it's CLEAN. Also, nothing with Vampires, Warewolves, Witches, Sorcerers.... i think you get the gist :)

So, anyhoo...

I hope you enjoy my stories! I am the amateur of all amateurs, but i hope to improve!

If you're into Fanfiction, I am also on Fanfiction.net. Same penname: Keelykelly :)

Laterz!

I love to write but I am no always the greatest at it. Over the years I know I have gotten better but I still need help making sure I am doing okay! The more help I can get the better the writer I know I can become. So the more criticism I can get the better. So leave comments on my stories please or send me a message so I know how I am doing.

Hey there! I'm Kain. An eighteen year-old Political Science student that's been writing for roughly six years now.

There isn't much that you need to know about me to enjoy my stories. I'm just a random recluse who just so happened to stumble upon the world of writing at the age of eleven, thought it would be nice to write my own stories and started out as a crappy writer with much to improve. Since then, I've gone to become a much better writer that feels like writing is the only place she will ever be fully comfortable in.

I'm a geek that reads books, writes stories, goes to school, volunteers and has fun with life. A lot of people find me arrogant despite my friendly nature. Oh well, it's their loss not mine. I'm happy with the friends that I really have since most of them are like me or even worse (better?). 

Mostly, I write about things that I see in my daily life. Some of them significant, others not so. Other than writing stories, I also write essays and journalism articles. The genres I dabble on the most are Young Adult, Romance and Comedy, although sometimes, I write some dark shit that I don't post because I get too freaked out to finish them.

I don't have much to say about myself; I prefer to let my stories speak for themselves. I've been a writer for a long time and I take it very seriously. I appreciate very much any help or reviews people can give me and I'm always looking for something new to read. Thanks for reading! 

I'm just an aspiring writer who hopes a passion for what she does will bring her through.

    I write pretty much anything fictional. I've written historical, dystopian, and fantastical pieces, and most of everything between. The one prose I don't write is nonfiction. I also don't usually write poetry, though I have done it occasionally. If you request, I most likely will read your story and give feedback, because I personally love receiving and giving reviews.

    I would seriously love you if you liked my writing enough to stop by my Wattpad and FictionPress accounts. On Wattpad, my penname is NicoleRaine, and on FictionPress, it's Nicole Raine, just like here. I have a lot more of my one-shots on FictionPress, and I am working on a story titled Traveler on Wattpad. So, lots of interesting things going on there.

    I am a Christian, and would love to answer any respectful questions you may have about my faith.

    Like I mentioned earlier, I absolutely love reviews. Whether they are constructive criticism or praise, they are what keep me going. Without feedback, I doubt I could go far with any project.

    Also, if you have any requests or writing prompts that you really want me to write, just shoot me a message. As long as it's not inappropriate, you have a good shot of at least getting a one-shot from me.

    Well, I hope to talk to you soon, and stay tuned!
