Love writing but find it hard to finish projects? Looking for a new approach to telling stories? Embracing serialisation can help you be more productive and get more readers.

In this guide I share what I've learned while writing A Day of Faces, my serial which hit #7 in the science fiction chart here on Wattpad, won a 2016 Watty Award and has had over 146,000 reads.

My current Wattpad serial is The Mechanical Crown - come join the adventure!

A Different Virus - Laura's Story

This is a second view point from my original story - A Different Virus - Heartfire. I highly advise reading the original book first.Intro:Laura was a happy child without a care in the world. She loved her parents and life was perfect. Nothing seemed like it could go wrong.People started talking about a bad flu that was spreading and sending some into a coma. Her parents grew worried and stocked the house in case of a pandemic.Months later another virus appeared. Her family was shocked when the news people started reporting that zombies were actually real and not just part of a horror movie. They were appearing in every country. Her parents reassured her that none of the zombie sightings had been anywhere close to them.Her life is turned upside down when her father ends up in hospital with the bad flu and mother exiles her upstairs for her safety. She was never allowed downstairs again. Weeks pass and the streets become deserted with the exception of the red eyed zombies that wandered around.One night she notices a swiftly moving figure with glowing blue eyes in the street below. Should she call out or remain silent? Is this fleeting shadow something that can help her or could this mysterious figure be even more dangerous than the zombies themselves?----------------------Ranked #1 Apr 10, 2018 (A huge thank you to all who read and voted!)This story is copyright and built from my own imagination.

None The Wiser

Heather doesn't know when it started, her interest in diapers that is. But after getting hold of a cousins goodnite, she could never have guess just how far that interest would take her. My first ever story. I previously advertised it as poorly written, but the overwhelmingly positive response I've revived has led me to change this. So thanks. Disclaimer: Don't read if you are offended with a 17 year old girl wearing and using diapers, obviously. Otherwise, enjoy my story "None the Wiser".
