|WATTPAD CREATORS PROGRAM · WEEKLY TO BI-WEEKLY UPDATES|
A troubled veteran attempts to forget the past by volunteering at Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum, but it proves difficult when he's close to the plane that changed his life forever—the Corsair.
***
Retired Navy pilot William Beckington never planned to move on after The Incident and has lived with the guilt for seventy years. After failed attempts with PTSD counselors, his daughter recommends that he begin volunteering on the aircraft carrier CV-10 in Charleston, South Carolina. Reluctantly, Bill agrees, but his decision proves difficult when he stumbles back into the world of Corsairs, the plane he'd rather forget.
Seeing that The Incident still haunts him, Bill's new friends attempt to help him remember his long-lost joy; he attends Bull Dog Tours, learns the stories of other veterans, and strangely finds himself near the Corsair more than he would like.
While nothing will free his mind from the traumatizing memory of accidentally shooting his friend down, Bill must find a way to push past his grief and guilt to live the life he is meant to live—and rekindle Ted's legacy before he succumbs.

|10TH GRADE DRAFT|
As the Octopus Man returns from the Bermuda Triangle, Makenna Angelia Delling teams up with Merlin the Great's ninja-like fairy apprentice, Tracey, to defeat him. However, what will happen when Tracey learns he is the K.T. Magic Murderer?
***
The Atlantica Massacre was only the beginning.
Fourteen-year-old Makenna Delling is a Metamorphic Fairy, a rare fairy who comes from a family in which one person had to have been a fairy. Except, who is that one person?
To help find answers regarding her past, Makenna teams up with seventeen-year-old Tracey, a mysterious fairy who hails from Merlin's Island. Together, they are dragged into the flight of their lives after they learn that the Octopus Man has returned from the Bermuda Triangle, and he is eager to kill Tracey.
Mustering up all her courage, Makenna must find a way to stop Tracey from becoming who he truly is. She has to help him defeat the Octopus Man himself if he is to change his fate. The stakes are high for both teens, especially since Tracey could very well be one of the greatest threats in the entire Magic World.
Who is Makenna? Who is Tracey? Most importantly, why must Makenna find her long-lost family member?
It's so she can call herself a True Metamorphic Fairy.

|7X FEATURED · SPOLIGHT STORY|
Saddened by her lonely life, a little girl named Victoria Christie uses her inventive imagination to write stories. Now that she's older, she must find a way to share her tale with the world. *** Victoria Christie never expected to be a writer, but everything changed in 4th grade when she annoyed her mother at a barber shop. She told Victoria to write in her school notebook, which sparked her daughter's life-long passion for writing. Now, many years later, Victoria is eager to share her story through an interactive novel that showcases how her writing has changed over time and what hardships she faced to keep her island of personality—especially after her brother's unfortunate death in 2021.
With the power of writing and her brother's legacy about her becoming a successful author, will Victoria's old stories spark the interest of an audience? Will they interact with her and tell her how her incomplete pieces should end, or will Victoria remain an undiscovered author?
This is an anthology of my old stories. Most are incomplete, so it's up to my audience to decide how they should end. This is the story of how I became Viktoria Fyodorova.
Let the cringe begin!
