Giuliana was born in Siena, Italy. At the age of 4 her father gave her a box of markers. She immediately began to doodle stories on the house walls. After a few weeks of repainting they finally gave her paper as well. She has not stopped writing since. She calls home Whidbey Island where she settled in 2001, after globetrotting and teaching Italian in exotic places as far as Japan. She holds a Classic Italian Literature and Philosophy degree with a minor in English still laced with a Chianti-infused accent. She speaks fluent Spanish, has forgotten most of her French and holds tightly to her Japanese, mostly by eating sushi every chance she gets. She shares a yellow cottage on the island with her husband, 2 children and 2 cats, a vegetable garden and a fig tree named Federico. Every residual free minute of her life is spent working on Book Three. www.giulianasica.com In this compelling and hauntingly vivid novel, Porzia Amard, an epicurean globetrotter, has left her French-Italian roots and her beloved wine-making family behind in Tuscany to pursue her journalistic studies in the USA, eventually settling in Florida; Pensacola, to be exact, where hurricanes abound. And it is on the forceful tail end of one such hurricane that her life suddenly takes a mystical turn and the story begins. When she unexpectedly inherits the legacy of unusual powers at her beloved grandmother’s deathbed, she embarks on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery. From the winding hills of Tuscany to the perilous landscape of South Australia and salt-scented beaches of western Florida, Porzia abandons the straightforward path after a past life regression introduces a distant soul mate, revealing a love so intense it has resisted the tarnishing of time. Porzia loves food, but would rather eat than cook. Her minimalistic choices of friends give us an insight on her aberration for large crowds while her selective palate, often used in her mouthwatering culinary and gem-wine-searching escapades tell us she won’t compromise. Stubborn, beautiful yet goofy she doesn’t believe herself capable of accepting the legacy of powers her paternal grandmother has bestowed upon her. Her colorful, yet genuinely blunt comments give us vivid description of her morals, ethics, dreams and hopes and make her irresistible to the eyes of one special man. Narrated in vibrant prose, infused with mouthwatering aromas of delicious recipes paired with inebriating wines Porzia’s life intertwines with mystical characters. She finds herself embroiled in a world of esoteric secrets and swept in a heated passion with famed off-road racer Gabe Miller. This unique and extraordinary novel is an irresistible recipe for lovers of romance, wine, and the mystical realm. This book promises freedom from earthly boundaries; it blurs the lines between safety and the unconventional; between love and fear, between us and the gods.

'I like you', 'I don't like you' Two opposite meaning of words from two different person with different attitude and love interest. A simple words they accidentally utter at the same time, in a same place. The word that will tangle their destiny throughout their journey of searching love. How playful romance can be to them? Can they find love or love will find them?

***DROPPED*** Imagine this: You conducted some research that might have been considered unethical by some. You wanted to satisfy your curiosity and broke some laws you seriously should not have. You wished to protect something you valued but had to kill a few people along the way. Maybe you were just doing whatever was in your job description. Or you just simply wanted to light some things on fire and maybe just maybe destroy the whole world? Okay maybe you went a bit overboard… and now you are sent to this dark world where you are forced to spend an eternity as just a soul. They even talked something about how your fate is to be forgotten. Geez. But hey! It looks like you might have another go at what you desired because of some idiots doing something they had no idea about! How lucky! There is just a small problem though… Your another chance at life is shared with others that had a similar fate to yours… What will you do? *** “You see I was taking a relaxing stroll when I stumbled upon this place and with a heart filled with curiosity I asked them nicely what they were doing here to which they did not answer and instead rudely attacked me. So in righteous self defence I killed them all” In a tone similar to lovers talking about their day Amon admitted to slaughter. “Of course I did not forget about my purpose and from one kind volunteer I learned quite a bit about them. Mainly that they belonged to an organisation called Ouroboros and that they were conducting not so human friendly experiments here” Amon did not explain further and instead with a smile observed Arthur's reaction. “So I am the product of their experiments?” *** The things you might expect: - The novel is essentially a dark comedy with a focus on intrigues. - There are no traditional power systems like stages 1-9 which cultivation novels adore instead it’s completely unique (at the very least I did not encounter anything similar). It revolves around ‘concepts’ and actual knowledge which would make sense in a world of magic. - The world building is also rich and tries to portray a unique take on the fantasy genre as the technology of this world is basically that of an industrial era with steam replaced by magic. - The political and social aspect is also explored and tries to be as realistic as possible(for a fantasy novel which is not serious about itself). - The MC is very evil. I am not talking I kill people kind of evil but I commit war crimes, I am a sadist and I dance on your grave while laughing kind of evil. He is also a drama queen and his favorite color is black. - In terms of romance we have no romance.

In the vast expanse of the sky, a cloud was born. Unlike the other clouds that drifted aimlessly, this cloud had a grand vision. It wanted to create a place where everyone, regardless of their size or shape, could live in harmony. A kingdom in the sky, where dreams could take flight. This vision, unknown to the cloud at the time, would have far-reaching consequences. It would change the fate of countless beings and shape the course of history.

The Cloud prevents all sunlight from touching Earth. No one knows where it came from or why it's here, and all efforts to investigate this black mass have failed. However, three men and women from different parts of the globe find themselves pulled beyond the Cloud's veil. They become integral pawns in an extraterrestrial play motivated by the greed of immortal beings and a prophecy as old as the universe. But this play puts humanity's very existence at risk. While these six humans may be partly divine, they would prefer to plot against the will of the "Gods" than do their part in destroying their planet. * One of these six people is Kevin Martinez, a young man whose life was darkened by shadows well before the Cloud appeared. Although one disappointment after another leaves Kevin jaded, he still has love in his heart for his dogs, his dad, and his childhood friend Liza. When he finds himself looped into a stranger world than the one he knew, he must make a decision that will impact not only himself but every living being on Earth. Samira Hafidi is a Moroccan woman stuck living in France since the Cloud interrupted her studies abroad. With the help of her best friend Noelle, she meets Leo with the purpose of finding a romantic partner who she can someday marry. But when both she and Leo are thrust into the same nightmare as Kevin and Liza, their world is flipped upside down and they must flee France to escape false imprisonment. They go from living comfortably in the countryside to running from evil, living homeless in unfamiliar territories. Zeke has forsaken his medical degree for a chance to live on the water, indulging in life's many pleasures below deck. However, his time as a stowaway is cut short when the captain's daughter, Nadine Gupta, forces him out of his hiding place. After losing his spot on a mechanic ship that sets out to repair the UV lights in the ocean, he finds himself separated from Nadine, in a country where he cannot speak the native language. His world is collapsing, as is his mind; he seems to be suffering from amnesia. But amnesia aside, he and Nadine are also marked with the Eyes of the Cloud. They are fated to rejoin. It is only a matter of time before they all must dive headfirst into the cosmic chaos that has selected Earth as a battleground. No matter what side they fight for, "angel" or "demon," "alien" or "mankind," they stand to lose everything. Even themselves.

Game Creator Chen Yan had the fortunate accident of coming across a game called [Yunyang Girlfriend]. Obviously from the title, it seems like a warm fuzzy game, however, Chen Yan did not go the usual route of being patient and waiting for daily items. He went the money-spending route!

Is it smelling the fragrance or the warmth around her?." ---------------------------- Original Author: Chang Shi Translated and Edited by: Nakahara ----------------------------

A Queen no more, betrayed by the people she once trusted, loathed by the people she governed, and finally killed by her only friend. But that happened centuries ago. Now, she was living freely as an ordinary high school girl in the modern era. But as she still felt resentment on how her people denounced her, she contrived to exact her revenge. How? With the help of a certain doting husband, of course. ---------- "Why are you doing this... why?!" The woman covered her face as her smile brimmed with confidence faded, replaced by flowing tears paired with muffled speech. The aloof man remained silent as his gaze fell upon the beautiful woman's sorrow countenance whilst he approached her, bringing her deep into his embrace. "...I was a fool. I was a fool to treat you like that, as I am the fool who suffers from being madly in love with you now." The words rolled out his tongue as he planted his forehead into her neck, causing her to halt her scuffle as his words deeply befuddled her. But the man soon felt a throbbing pain on his lower part, causing him to bend down as it ached. The crying woman retracted her foot as the two hands that covered her face were slowly brought down, revealing a mischievous and dark grin underneath it, "Heh. You indeed are a fool," she muttered before forcibly planting her soft lips towards his, blood trickling from between them. Note : Slow-paced romance as the MC loathes the ML, but the ML will continue to remain extremely faithful, so no side hoes, yay! But misunderstandings are bound to happen XP
