"According to Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, when we are dying or have suffered a catastrophic loss, we all move through five distinct stages of grief. We go into denial, because the loss is so unthinkable, we can't imagine it's true. We become angry with everyone - angry with survivors, angry with ourselves. Then we bargain. We offer everything we have. We offer up our souls in exchange for just one more day. When the bargaining has failed and the anger is too hard to maintain, we fall into depression, despair, until finally we have to accept that we have done everything we can. We let go. We let go and move into acceptance." - Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy Watty Awards 2012 Entry - Short Story Category Copyright (c) 2012. MaraCats. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Everything in Harmoni Faveen's life is falling apart. That is until she journeys to her uncle's home that haunts the empty countryside. Harmoni finds her uncle's only rule rather strange: Never leave the manor without an escort. Not even in the garden. After a while, Harmoni cannot cope with her seemingly "over-protective" uncle. So she runs away. She runs deep into the forest, but Harmoni soon finds herself lost among the dark trees. And she discovers that she is not the only one lost in the woods. Harmoni is taken back to her home- a home she never knew she had. And as more and more questions fog her mind, Harmoni realizes that everything points to one place. One place that is as mysterious as a dark night with no stars and as foreboding as an eclipse with no light. That place is the North Forest.

To move on from her past, an extraordinary girl must tear down the walls she has built to protect herself. Mackenzie Douglas seems to have it all: good looks, a great boyfriend, a passion for biking, and a little sister who worships her. But under the veneer of perfection lie the emotional scars of her childhood, inflicted by her father. Though her memories have faded with time, the wounds on Mac’s subconscious remain. Having vowed to never be a victim again, Mac focuses on a journey she’s always wanted to take: a summer bike trip on her amazing new RoadCap bike. But as the excursion finally gets underway, memories Mac long ago buried start to claw their way back to the surface, forcing her to confront a past she has done everything she can to forget. To prevent her sister from enduring the same trauma, Mac must let go of everything in which she’s found refuge. To break a cycle that needs to be broken, Mackenzie summons her strength and risks shattering the world she has so carefully built, exposing hidden secrets, long-told lies, and a horrific crime. Hello, Readers! It took me nine years (seriously!) to finish this YA, Dancing With the Devil, and Diversion Books has published it both digitally and in paperback versions. But guess what? I'm also putting it up here on Wattpad, free. Serialized, so it might make you crazy, but still, cool, right? And the whole thing will be here. I'm serializing twice a week every Sunday and Wednesday and the completed story will be one of the Wattpad Featured Stories starting on June 6th. You'll just have to wait to read the whole thing. After it's all up, I get to answer questions in a LIVE Q&A book club! Talking to readers will be a dream come true.
