WATTPAD ORIGINAL EDITION In 1955, mixed-race Ethan Harper leaves his progressive hometown for a summer in Alabama where he's not welcome, except by resident free spirit, Juniper Jones. ***** After getting himself into a bout of trouble, 16-year-old Ethan Harper's parents send him to Ellison, Alabama, to live with his aunt and uncle for the summer. But the year is 1955, and Alabama is a far cry from his beloved home of Arcadia, Washington. As much as it's hotter in temperature, it's colder in every other way, and Ethan learns the hard way that people see his mere existence as a threat. Amidst all the mayhem, a fiery, free-spirited, oddball walks into Ethan's life. Her name is Juniper Jones. She is the first person in Ellison who seems unfazed by their racial differences, and she promises to give Ethan a summer he will always remember, filled with endless adventure and discovery. With Juniper, Ethan can breathe, he can be, despite the incessant attention and bullying their newly formed friendship attracts. Can the two survive the summer, run in the light and block out the noise of the outside world? [Published version comes out June 16, 2020 with Wattpad Books!] [[word count: 70,000-80,000 words]]

“I mean, I didn't know that.” There really isn't a lot to do in the very small town of Buies Creek, North Carolina, so you have to find ways to entertain yourself. (Which aren't always ideal.) And so Locke and Lily (and occasionally Lincoln) involve themselves in various shenanigans; because 'boring' isn't a word that exists in their dictionaries. And life is fun for a while. Great. Especially if it involves Nana's fried chicken. Until a blood pact is involved and Locke and Lily promise to be by each other's backs forever (it seemed like a great idea then, okay). Then things are a lot less fun and a lot more complicated. (They're trying their best to be remembered for something legendary; but that is completely up to you.
