Wattpad Stories Added

I uploaded two short stories to Wattpad today. Too long to submit to magazines, and too short to be novels. I've copied and pasted the descriptions below. You can find them under melaniekinder78 under the fantasy category.

QUEST TO MILAN TEMPLE

Ella and Jay's Magical Summer Adventure! 

Ella and Jay are cousins who love spending summers at their grandparents' house in Michigan. But this year, their vacation turns wild when they find a mysterious jar that opens a portal to a magical world! Suddenly, strange creatures like a two-tailed deer and a friendly Sasquatch appear, and the only way to fix everything is to go on a quest. 

With the help of giant hounds, a unicorn named Spirit, and a wise priestess, Ella and Jay must gather magical ingredients, solve tricky riddles, and face trolls, centaurs, and monkey-wolves. Can they close the portal and keep their secret safe before Grandma and Grandpa find out? Join Ella and Jay for a summer full of laughter, bravery, and unforgettable adventures!

NOBODY'S GNOME

When Ellie, a well-meaning dog with a nose for trouble, finally finds a loving home, she's determined to be the world's best good girl. But when a mischievous garden gnome starts causing chaos-peeing on the carpet, trashing the flowerbeds, and even wielding a can of spray paint-Ellie gets blamed for every mess. With her reputation (and her spot on the bed) on the line, Ellie teams up with her loyal human, Reilly, to unmask the real culprit. Can they outwit a supernatural statue before Ellie's sent to the pound? Nobody's Gnome is a laugh-out-loud, tail-wagging adventure about loyalty, misunderstandings, and the strange magic that sometimes sneaks in through the dog door.
