I wanted a normal life. That was it. Just a normal life.

Meet Chrissy Staris, eighteen year old prisoner since the day she was born. Though confined to a small cell, she isn't about to let the men have their idiotic ways, no. She breaks out of the facility to start another revolution, one that this time won't fail. She’s planned every possible outcome, she’s bent around obstacles more than once to meet her goals. She’s cunning, she’s intelligent, she’s vainglorious. She also doesn’t swallow her pride- why should she if everything she’s worked so hard for has gone just as plan so far? Keywords- so far. By misfortune, a man somehow forced his way into Chrissy's plans, forcing her to tweak them. But she can make it work- he could be her best weapon. Nothing could stop her now, not her childish dreams, not the law, not the fear of failing. And maybe… there’s a lingering light for love. But that’s just maybe.

Seventeen year-old Eliza Taylor's latest run-in with New York City Police lands her on a bus with a one way ticket to the small town of Blackwater. Unimpressed with being an indentured servant for her cranky and ridiculously ancient aunt, Eliza soon finds hope when she meets Dante, another of her aunt's employees, as well as Chase, the cute boy-next-door who works at his dad's hardware store. Unfortunately, Eliza's panache for getting into trouble rears its ugly head when she discovers her aunt's shop sells more than just postcards from 1988. Her aunt's "private showroom" houses each of the seven deadly sins: Pride, Envy, Wrath, Avarice, Lust, Gluttony, and Sloth. But stopping her evil aunt from damning the souls of unsuspecting teens has a price - and that price might very well be Eliza's eternal soul. Can Eliza survive her evil aunt, outwit the dark master she serves, and keep a few souls out of Hell, including her own? She's not so sure, but seeing as how she likes her soul in the upright and firmly out-of-hell position, she's gonna give it her best shot. Hopefully her best won't end up killing her and ruining her afterlife - God knows her normal life is hard enough! **Copyrighted Material: Bad Company Copyright © Wendy Nelson 2012 All Rights Reserved.

Shattered remnants of broken psyches lay littered on the floor, in rotting beds, in crumbling walls... These are the Scribblings from the Asylum Walls. Welcome to the Madhouse...
