CARTER CHEVAL, the Anchor and lead investigative journalist on the After Dark TV program has everything to live for now, having won the love of his life LAYLA, yet finds himself dead in the HereAfter. Gunned down in a seemingly senseless shooting, he is shown a movie of his life on Earth which is all a lie. He enlists the help of a ghostly figure, TEACHER, to try and save his friends and family from a similar fate. So Carter, a ghost on a mission, from the HereAfter must use the information from his life movie to disentangle the web of lies surrounding his life and death. He must try to exact his revenge, and save his family and friends before the protection of Vatican Secrets results in them all prematurely joining him in the afterlife. His only chance to stop these evil forces is to get his recently revealed biological father, PETER, now a high priest and Keeper of Secrets in the Vatican, to kill for him. However, this seemingly impossible task becomes easier after an epic spirit battle between them. The possibility of Carter's spirit being stuck in his father's body wasn't exactly part of the plan to make his father ultimately pay for any part he played in the conspiracy and perhaps even in Carter's own murder.

Two strangers meet on a country road at night, helping one another to the Renaissance Fair, past bikers, gamers, fairies and various natural and supernatural. A romance of masks.

Having a genie is always complicated. Bringing him to school makes everything worse. Nothing ever seems to go Megan's way: she's late for everything, failing her classes, and barely registers in the eyes of her peers. Desperate to escape her perpetually middle-of-the-pack life, she scrapes together every last penny she can find, ready to run away. Instead of a fresh start, she finds an old, discarded bottle. When she opens it, a kid her own age appears, ready to grant her heart's desire. Her first, most important wish? To be popular. Overnight, Megan's life takes a drastic turn for the better-and she gets cocky. After a failed bet with the genie, she agrees to let him come to school. Before she knows it, he's worming his way into every part of her newly-improved life. He's in all her classes, friends with her brother, and even getting invites to hang out with her friends. But despite her best efforts, she's starting to see him as something more than just her personal wish-granter; he's almost a friend. But as the person who granted all her desires threatens to take over her life, she has to ask herself: Can she trust the magic she wished for, or is she just a pawn in the genie's own complicated game? This book is a fun, fast-paced story with a thoughtful core about friendship, desire, and consequences.
