Sixteen-year-old Mara Westray has just lost her mother, and now, being shipped off to live with the father she doesn’t know is not how she imagined grieving. She’s already counting down the days until she turns eighteen and can leave the tiny island of Swans Landing. But from the moment she steps off the ferry, nothing is as ordinary as it looks. Whispers of a haunting song on the wind make her see impossible things, and she isn’t sure she can trust her judgment about what is real and what isn’t anymore. Maybe she can’t even trust her judgment about quiet Josh Canavan, whose way of speaking in riddles and half-truths only confuses her more, luring her deeper into the secrets hidden beneath the ocean’s surface. As she tries to unravel the events that led to her mom fleeing the island sixteen years ago, Mara finds that the biggest secret of all is only the beginning. SURFACING is currently available in ebook format from Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, iTunes, Smashwords, and other ebook retailers. Available in audiobook from Audible, and in print at Amazon.

Cato and Clove, the tributes from District Two, have trained their entire lives for the 74th hunger games, working and pushing harder and harder until they can live up to the expectations that come with being a career tribute. But deep down, behind the stone walls that they've built around their hearts, they hide the fact that their entire lives and all that they've ever trained to be, is a lie. A forced pretense that they've had to live up to simply because of their parent's wishes. Clove's father, an abusive alcoholic who couldn't care less about what his daughter actually wants, forces her to work to the breaking point and claims that she is to volunteer and become a well-known, victor. Cato has a family reputation to live up to, therefore he is forced into the assumption that he is to be a rough, brutish, and exceedingly handsome champion that everybody can't help but trip head-over-heels for. When Clove is eleven, her family is relocated to District Two from District One, and let's just say that her diminutive build and naive appearance is the perfect storm for a bullying incident. And that's exactly what happens. But there is one person who is willing to stick up for her, to save her from a swarm of blood-thirsty children who will do anything to appear tough. And just like that, an inseparable bond. But when Clove is fifteen, her father beats down upon his only daughter and threatens her. If she doesn't volunteer this year, he will disown her, leave her on the streets to fend for herself...or starve to death. What will sixteen-year-old Cato do when he is peer-pressured to enter the games? How will he cope with the fact that his best friend (and maybe something a little more) will have to volunteer against her own will? Two love-struck children, Twenty-four tributes, one victor. Are they willing to risk their friendship just to make their parents, and the entire district, proud? Or will they take the chance of death, just to stay together?
