In the world of the Talent Chronicles, kids born with supernatural powers are taken from their families and forced into government research facilities called State Schools. At one such school, a dangerous experiment has killed two young inmates and threatens others. Ethan, a shape-shifter, is reluctantly recruited by his best friend Karen, a telepath, and Elle, the unique Talent he has a crush on, to thwart the faculty's plans. If they’re caught they face Detention, and Detention at a State School has a whole different meaning. This is a completed short story of approximately 12,000 words and contains some strong language.

Hush Money is the first story in a series I'm working on called the Talent Chronicles. The series is about people who have supernatural abilities and how their lives are affected by them. This story is about a teenage girl named Joss, for whom hiding her ability has been the most important thing in her life, and that's really impacted the person she's become. ETA: This story has since been completed and published. Follow the link in my profile to my website for retailer links.
