[Wattys 2022 Winner!] Vanessa Brooks, an anxious and cynical seventeen year-old, discovers she can travel to the summer of 1953 through the run-down community pool in her rural Michigan town and risks her future as she falls for a boy who lives in the past. ****** On the last day of junior year, Vanessa Brooks joins her friends for a traditional jump into the city pool to celebrate the beginning of summer and the last year they plan to spend in Palmer, Michigan; a dead-end riverside town with an eerily abandoned historic main street and decaying Victorian mansions. But when she resurfaces her classmates have been replaced by girls in retro swimsuits and bathing caps and guys in thigh-baring briefs with cigarettes tucked behind their ears. When Pete Harrison, an unfamiliar face who seems somewhat familiar with hers, offers a dizzy and confused Vanessa a towel and a ride home, she discovers her house and family missing. She has somehow slipped into 1953, the year her grandparents graduated high school. Using the pool and vivid imaginings of her grandfather's memories, Vanessa continues to escape to 1953- and to Pete, who, despite his unaffected kindness and optimism, has a mysterious bad reputation around town. But as she dives deeper into the summer her grandparents fell in love, she finds herself unable to return to the present without venturing even further into the past to correct a mistake that threatens her family and future. *Content Warning: this story contains scenes of near drowning and other perils on the sea, swearing, smoking and alcohol use* This story is complete at ~90,000 words.

"We've got a game on Thursday if you want to come." He told her. "I'd like to, but I have football to cheer at. I'm sorry." She walked over to him and got on her toes, she leaned up and placed a soft kiss to his cheek. "I'll try to make it to any other game." She turned and walked away, flipping her hair behind her shoulders as she left. He dropped his jacket and watched her leave, leaning against his door. He was in love with that kiss.

Prior to the Newsboy Strike of 1899, Anthony "Racetrack" Higgins is a young boy growing up in Hell's Kitchen in New York City. It's not a healthy environment for a kid, but it is a great training ground for a king of New York. There's no shortage of new people to meet and scrapes to get into. Though Racetrack must navigate a volatile home-life and the American people's fear of the changing demographics, he knows that there isn't a better place for a man with charisma and ambition than New York City. With hard work and a bit of luck, fame and fortune are within even the poorest slum kid's grasp. The odds are against him, but Racetrack isn't about to let bum odds stop him--especially when it's his life he's wagered! When Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst raise the distribution price one-tenth of a cent per paper, ten cents per hundred, the newsboys, poor enough already, are outraged. Inspired by the strike put on by the trolley workers, Jack "Cowboy" Kelly organizes a newsboys' strike. With David Jacobs as the brains of the new union, and Jack as the voice, the weak and oppressed found the strength to band together and challenge the powerful. (Written by Kaitlin Dwyer Rankins)

"The one thing I'd never thought could possibly happen was happening in that very moment. I slowly turned around and, through the groups of people hovered around the crap tables, saw the ol' blue eyes I've admired my whole life. Sitting there was Frank Sinatra." || CHAPTER SIX COMING SOON ||

Lillian is working at the International Hotel in the summer of 1970 in order to support herself, her sister and her sister's newborn baby after her sister's fiancé walked out on her. Lillian is no Elvis fan and this job is just a means to an end but a close encounter with some crazy fans puts her in a position of meeting the king himself.

Meet Charlotte Atkins. She is an independent, headstrong, young woman who knows what she wants. She happens to fall in love with her neighbor who is white. This would be alright if it wasn't the 1960's and also illegal in most southern states. This is a work of historical fiction. All characters and events in this novel are either fictitious or used fictitiously. I've tried to use as much fact as I have used fiction, and this story is currently a work in progress.
