The Lavender Butterfly by Eric_Neumeier

This is a story of a happily married Chris, and his loving wife Meredith. Chris and Meredith enjoy their life together. Both have well paying jobs, a big house, plenty of good friends, and a healthy, loving marriage. That all changes however, upon a getaway to Florida, when Chris is transformed into a 13-year old girl. Now a girl, she discovers the challenges of being a young teenage girl, and learns to embrace her new identity. This is a full length novel that I've been working on for a while. It's been somewhat of a passion project of mine, and I've poured my heart and soul into it. I would love to hear your feedback. I hope you enjoy!

All Is Red- DISCONTINUED - by Kailee777Knight

Just going to let ya know this is actual garbage I wrote in like 6th grade. Dear god it is trash. I don't have the heart to delete it though. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the apocalypse, everything, and everyone is a threat. Raven, a trans female, is driving to L.A. with her mom, dad, and little brother, Alex, when suddenly her world gets turned upside down. They will meet friends, and enemies, on an adventure of a lifetime. Literally. This book will take you into the POVs of all the characters in the book. There will be romance, suspense, and humor in an amazing attempt at whatever this is.

Route 0 by CJ_Luccous

The world ended in an instant. The roads belong to the desperate. The fuel belongs to the strong. When a massive solar flare wipes out power grids and modern technology, trucker Cole Redding finds himself stranded on a highway deep in West Texas. His Kenworth W900, an old-school diesel rig with no electronics, is one of the only vehicles still running-making him a target in a world where fuel is more valuable than gold. Rolling into a gas station under siege, Cole barely escapes with his life, forced to abandon his trailer to save fuel. Now, with 500 miles of lawless road ahead, he must navigate a collapsing world filled with: *Looters, gangs, and desperate survivors who will kill for a ride. * A ruthless highway gang known as the Reapers, who want his truck for themselves. *A growing legend of the last trucker still rolling-putting a bounty on his head. His family waits for him in Louisiana, but time is running out. Civilization is gone, and Cole's only rule is simple: Keep moving, or die. Fans of Mad Max, The Road, and The Last of Us will love this gritty, action-packed survival thriller where the open road is the deadliest place on Earth.

Swapped at Burning Man: An Erotic Gender Swap Adventure by AlysonBelle

Jake Thomas has always heard stories about the crazy, wild things that go on at the Burning Man festival in Nevada's Black Rock Desert, and this year he's worked up the nerve to ask his Burner friends to bring him along with them. But when they arrive, they're pretty disappointed to discover that Jake hasn't packed at all correctly for the harsh, desert landscape. No problem, Jake figures! Taking is the other part of giving, so he'll just take whatever he needs from the generosity of strangers, whether it's food, water, or drugs. But when a mysterious girl in a silver bikini takes issue with Jake's bad attitude, she slips him a pill in the cool interior of her tent to teach him a lesson about the importance of learning to give. Now Jake is trapped in the body of a gorgeous, golden-haired vixen whose form was just MADE for pleasure. And thanks to the MDMA he took right before his transformation, he's afraid he's going to be giving a whole lot of that pleasure to anyone and everyone who wanders along his path...

Shoshone Station: The Galactic Consortium season 2 by RJEliason

Less than a year ago, they arrived over earth's sky. They call themselves the Galactic Consortium and they are human, or at least, simian - from the same genetic line as humans. They claim to have terraformed this planet centuries ago to serve as a base for their exploration of this galaxy. What happened to the settlers, why none of us remember this, remains a mystery. For America the concerns are more immediate. Will the Consortium accept our independence? Shoshone Station is the first joint enterprise, a solar power, space station parked in geostationary orbit over Denver, Colorado. It's been "gifted" to America, but as Sherman Lannister takes command he wonders just how much control the new American crew will really have. After all, what do they know about running a space station? For Sophia, a homeless transgender youth from Denver, the station is a second chance at a new life. But what will she do living amongst the stars?

Living With Severed Wings (mxm) by JyothikaAaryan

Born from a forbidden union between a mortal and a Valkyrie, Ascanius is no stranger to heartache. Only recently he has accepted himself for who and what he is and most importantly; his life is his own. He is content with living the remainder of his life without a partner. His heart only has room for his family and the man who helped him survive his upbringing. A man he thought had died long ago. So, when the same man attacks and accuses him of ruining his life, there are no words to describe how shocked he is. What shakes him the most is how he is now the opposite of the version of him he kept safe in his memories; spiteful, miserable, and hot-headed. He'd sooner blame Ascanius, his parents, and even the gods for his issues before he blames himself. Now he must decide whether he should try to mend his ex-lover's wounds or abandon him to keep his own scars from reopening. (2# Mortal Wounds) (Warning: this novel contains graphic adult content and explicit language)

Inevitable Ascension by vkmcallister

***Completed*** If you knew your world would soon be torched to carbon, would you fight to save it? ...Or light a match of your own? Violina, a girl polarized by love and loathing, finds herself thrown into a post-apocalyptic world with mankind on the brink of extinction. Discovering the means to travel back in time, she teams up with the ever-optimistic, pun-loving Lux and sets out to prevent the apocalypse from ever happening in the first place. But as her crusade advances, she becomes increasingly disturbed by humanity's apparent *lack* of humanity and comes to a frightening realization: To build a new world, she must first tear the old one down. Inevitable Ascension-The twisted jigsaw puzzle of a story with equal parts rapid-fire action, humor and charm. It's got a host of twists that will literally make your brain explode! Actually not literally, you know, because otherwise that would be really gross. Who is V.K. McAllister? We're a husband/wife duo (Andrew and Sasha McAllister) with a unique approach to writing. We work simultaneously and in secret before combining what we come up with, resulting in dramatic and unexpected twists that surprise even us! Crazy? Yes, yes it is, but it's surprisingly fun and effective. :) We pretty much live for the Inevitable Ascension series and did just about everything ourselves-the writing, the editing, the publishing, the art (well, Andrew did the art, but Sasha provided invaluable consulting when it came to eyebrows), the audio book, the trailer-everything. We're basically a one-man band, except with two people... and no music... so perhaps not the best metaphor, but we're confident you get what we mean. Check out the trailer and art at www.inevitableascension.com :)
