I'm just getting started on Tapas and have posted the first few chapters of two novels.

YOU Owe me is a contemporary romance:
Blurb:
Corey was only thirty-one years old. He wasn't supposed to feel used up. But what did he expect after twelve years rotting in prison for a crime he didn't commit? How did he forget the 4,380 days he'd waited for answers and for the girl who never came?

Tiffany was ready to pay the debt she owed. The only question was—would he accept her currency of exchange?

The Triple Rising is a Fantasy/Sci-fi Romance

Blurb:
Meet JAG: An 18-year-old, street-wise troublemaker with an attitude.

"For weeks now, there's been this freaky energy in my body that an average superhero would envy and it's scaring the crap out of me.

I've been kidnapped and taken to an underwater city called Sitnalta and now I have this voice in my head that calls itself the 'Warder'. It insists that I have a task to complete, something about preparing for THE TRIPLE RISING.

And if that's not enough, there's this girl named Semylyn who they say belongs to me. She's on the south side of strange and hates my guts?

They don't know it yet, but they grabbed the wrong guy for their little job. As soon as I find a snorkel and a door, I'm out of here!

Here are mine!

A Student...Like You is a slice-of-life with comedy and drama.

Blurb: Fighting over the most ridiculous stuff, trying to escape punishments using all sorts of tricks, bemoaning the non-existent cafeteria or perhaps, the soaring price of the food there.

Arguing like mad with friends but then going back to them only, when loneliness sets in.

Skipping assemblies, cursing the march past, the freedom of the PE period and the 'official' bunking for school events.

The care of teachers, the craziness of friends, the feeling of first love and the endless notorious escapes...ah, those were the days, our cherished...school days!

50 And Above is a collection of short stories so a mixture of genres, so to say.

Blurb: A collection of short stories ranging from comedy to sci-fi, from horror to psychological...in short, a plethora of genres.

A few short stories are as short as 50 words.

And some...with over a few thousand words (Not to worry! Those ones will be divided into a few chapters!)
But never will any of the stories have less than 50 words!

In short (pun intended!), ranging from a tidbit for those who just want to take a short break to a hearty breakfast for those who want a full-fledged 'short story', there is everything!

I knew there was going to be a lot of change when I decided to go to college, and I was ready for it. Or at least, I thought I was.

My mother had convinced me to room with someone I had never met before because she was good friends with his mother. I trusted that she would never do anything to harm me, but I'm began to think she'd lost her mind!

When I walked into my dorm room for the first time, my whole world was turned upside down as I looked at the alpha I would be sharing a room with. There was no way that this was going to end well. You can't just put an omega and an alpha in the same room unsupervised! Anything could happen!

Felix woke up in the hospital not knowing who or where he was. There was a lot of mystery clouding him, and nobody knew how to answer the impossible questions that everyone wanted to know: who was he and where did he come from? Unable to recall his past, Felix struggles with his identity and seeks out help to find the answers he desperately wants. However, humans would not be enough to help him. In his quest to find his past, many come forward to help him regain what he has lost. With their help, Felix may just unravel the truth about himself and his past, but at what cost? And what will he do with this knowledge? Will he find happiness? In the end, he’ll have to make a decision.

Ethan always had an average, normal life. Everything changed when he encountered a wolf while running in the forest. His life would never be the same again.

His new life? Two Alphas fighting for him. Lies. Treason. Fight. And even maybe love.
