Friday Find: “Conduct in Question”
Every Friday, we bring you an undiscovered gem to read on Wattpad. This week, our secret Wattpad Talent Hunters recommend Conduct in Question, a mystery/suspense thriller:
Conduct in Question by Mary E. Martin
Meet Harry Jenkins, Toronto lawyer. Look below the surface of his city. Follow his growth toward compassion and understanding while he tracks a killer dubbed The Florist and roots out a massive money laundering fraud from the darkest corridors of power and influence. All is not as it seems.
Friday Find: “Portal”
“I think it has a very clever hook and plays so well against a variety of genres -YA, fantasy, romance, sci-fi. It’s a very tough balancing act to walk the tightrope of so many genres without slipping up on one of them, but I’ll be damned if you didn’t pull it off with aplomb”- Terry Goodman (Senior Editor at Amazon Publishing)
“Portal…when love’s just the beginning of the story” - KindleObsessed
“I love the use of time travel in this book. I haven’t seen it done in quite this way before, and I think it added an original twist to the paranormal romance genre.” –Amanda Hocking
“Twilight meets The Time-Travelers Wife!” - Stephen Windwalker (Kindle Nation)
Every Friday, we bring you an undiscovered gem to read on Wattpad. This week, our secret Wattpad Talent Hunters recommend Portal, a romantic teen fiction:
Come Find Me Two Years Ago…
Six words that propelled ice hockey playing tomboy, Arizona, into an alternate dimenson. She suddenly found herself in the past. In one moment she went from being an ice hockey playing teenager in New Jersey to a glamorous cheerleader in California. She found herself transported from a happy life with her dad, Dillard, to a new, strange one living with her mother whom she hates. Apparently it’s a life she’s always lived in.
Everyone knows her as Arizona Darley, but she isn’t. She is Arizona Stevens.
As she struggles to find answer she is certain of one thing - that her mother Olivia, a brilliant physicist, is somehow responsible.
PORTAL is the story of the repercussions of Olivia Darley’s attempt at creating a perfect world for herself and her children. Arizona’s quest for answers threatens to undermine the seemingly perfect world that her mother has so carefully constructed.
PORTAL is the first book of the Portal Chronicles. Fans of time travel, romance, and the supernatural will enjoy Arizona’s quest for answers.
Imogen will be posting a few chapters every week until the story is complete, and will leave the whole story available to read on Wattpad for a month.
Friday Night Lights
Wattpad brings you a guest post originally published in Teen Ink:
Friday Night Lights by H.G. Bissinger
By Skyler M., Sneads Ferry
If you’ve ever been to Texas, you know football is huge. A town there is not measured by its people or how much land it covers, but by the quality of the football program and the number of state championships its team has won. Friday Night Lights tells the story of such a place.
The town of Odessa, Texas prides itself on having the winningest football program in not only Texas, but the entire country. They come into the 1988 season looking for their first state championship under their new and untested coach.
One of the reasons I love this book is that it’s not just about football - it also focuses on race and prejudice.

From junior high to now, Aidan is the reason that everything is bearable to Julie, even though he barely noticed her existence. That is, until the day she overheard their conversation. She decided it’s time to change, but will this change bring good, or bad?

It All Started With A Bet: “The Bachelor”
Check out this Wattpad story featured on Crushable!
The Bachelor by J.D. Ruiz was inspired by the popular reality TV show of the same name, where dozens of contestants compete to win the affections of one highly eligible guy.
One competition, one man, twenty-five women, and a bet. Zachary Astor wanted to be the Bachelor for one purpose alone: to prove to his friends that he can ditch twenty-five women without ever looking back at any of them. But will he be able to keep his word when he meets Julianne Grey, the only woman who seems to regret being in the competition? Despite what he thinks, Zachary will find his thoughts preoccupied by the weird, silent, and mysterious girl he keeps giving a rose to, much to his own amazement and her disappointment.
Friday Find: “Windblown Saviour”
“The extent of research that the author conducted in the course of his writing is admirable and lends an unparalleled authenticity to this story. The story is peppered with conflict, gunplay, fist fights and a good old tar and feathering, just for good measure.”
Every Friday, we bring you an undiscovered gem to read on Wattpad. This week, our secret Wattpad Talent Hunters recommend Windblown Saviour, an action western for adults:
Windblown Saviour by TheOrangutan
I was born fast, born skilled, and endless practice has made me the best. A brief rush of adrenaline. Noise, the smell of cordite and then one of us crumples to the dust. This time it was him. Gunslinger: I may be feared and admired, but I call nowhere home. My gun and my skill define my existence. I will leave nothing but dried blood in the sand.

“My dog-eared vintage New Order poster hung above him, and he looked tired and aging and a little like a fashion victim with his goatee and earring. And for the first time in my whole life, I realized that my dad is just a man. Forget the rock star part, and he’s just a guy with feelings.”
Which story is this quote and book cover from?
Friday Find: “The Marked”
“This may be one you’ll want to keep your eyes on. The characterization is rich with detail. Creating an antagonist with whom I can empathize, one that makes me shudder, one that makes me a bit sick - that is an accomplishment! Add to that, I can’t predict which way this story is going to go and I’m hooked.”
Every Friday, we bring you an undiscovered gem to read on Wattpad. This week, our secret Wattpad Talent Hunters recommend The Marked: Blood of the Seven, a fantasy fiction:
The Marked: Blood of the Seven by MatthewTBrown

Guest Post: Real Lives of Rock Stars’ Daughters
Wattpad brings you a guest post from our newest Featured Story writer Caitlyn Duffy:
(Photo via layout sparks)
When I began writing “The Rock Star’s Daughter,” I wanted to tell a story about complicated family structures and a girl’s struggle to make peace with an estranged father. The celebrity element was an afterthought, although the fame and wealth of my main character Taylor’s father in the story shapes the plot a great deal. Throughout the story, Taylor discovers that all of the perks that she thought would come as part of being the daughter of a famous rock star go hand-in-hand with drawbacks, too. Here’s a peek at some real rock stars’ daughters, who have had many moments of their private lives (good and bad), marriages, divorces, struggles with weight loss and addiction and confusion about their own parental lineage published in gossip magazines.
Zoe Kravitz: Zoe, the daughter of rock star Lenny Kravitz and actress Lisa Bonet, has starred in movies like X-Men: First Class and The Brave One. She was the model for Vera Wang’s fragrance, Princess, and she is reportedly the current girlfriend of Gossip Girl star Penn Badgley. Lucky girl!
Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches Honeyblossom & Little Pixie Geldof: If you’ve ever seen the movie version of Pink Floyd’s The Wall, then you know who Bob Geldof is. In addition to starring as Pink in the movie, this Irish rock star was the lead singer of The Boomtown Rats and wrote the Live-Aid Christmas classic, “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” His daughters Fifi, Peaches and Pixie have all led tumultuous lives in the public eye. They lived with their mother, Paula Yates, after her split with Geldof, during which time Yates’ boyfriend Michael Hutchence (the lead singer of INXS) committed suicide in 1997. Bob Geldof sued for custody of his daughters and won, and the girls were living with him at the time of their mother’s very sad death in 2000 of a heroin overdose. They have a half-sister named Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence, who has also been formally adopted by Bob Geldof.
Peaches (whose Brooklyn apartment was one of my favorites ever to be featured by The Selby) and her boyfriend Thomas Cohen recently announced that they are expecting their first child.

THIS WEEK’S GUESSING GAME FOR OUR MOST WATTPADDY READERS AND FANS:
“Strange, you don’t look like him at all.”
“He was never too easy on the eyes so I’ll take that as a compliment.”
Which story is this quote and book cover from?
Friday Find: “Space Command and the Planet of the Bejeweled Concubines”
“Smart and funny, with a rowdy cast of rambunctious characters to boot. If sarcasm is your poison, fall in love with Prime Commander Ledder and his ”full-size, inarguably masculine and flagrantly authoritative beard” as he laments looking like an analyst’s lackey while asserting his authority on Blouder Base’s officers.”
Every Friday, we bring you an undiscovered gem to read on Wattpad. This week, our secret Wattpad Talent Hunters recommend Space Command and the Planet of the Bejeweled Concubines, a comedy science fiction.
