In which I cast my dear friend Jay Lake as the star in my version of "Joe Vs. the Volcano." Jay passed away from colon cancer on June 1--today (June 6th) would have been his 50th birthday. This story was written in the summer of 2008, after he was first diagnosed, for a private anthology that went only to Jay (and those of us who contributed). May Jay's legacy of kindness live forever in all who knew him.

Beyond Our Stars is a young adult science fiction novel recently published by Bloomsbury with their new imprint Spark. Fleeing a destroyed Earth, seventeen-year-old orphan Hope grew up living in the confines of a spaceship heading to CR-3, a new home planet. She's been kicking the steel walls for too long and ever since she broke her boyfriend's heart, touchdown could mean open air and a fresh start. But no one expected the Locals. Hope’s dreams of freedom turn into nightmares when the Locals trap the humans and mark groups for observation. At any moment she can be called into a holographic observation room for testing. Some days she’s drowning in a strange dark ocean, some days she’s locked up without food, and all with the one boy she can't seem to forget. As the Locals study Hope, she studies them. She wants to believe the tall grey creatures could be peaceful, but as the simulations become more dangerous, Hope is about to become the human race’s last chance for survival.

When an assignment overseas gives Antony's Mom the opportunity of a lifetime, she sees it as a chance for Antony to get to know his dad - a guy strange enough to live on a boat. Near dreary Seattle. Antony's sure that the next few months will feel like a lifetime. He and his dad can't even fill up a five minute conversation on his birthday call. Then he meets Amber, the girl from five boats down, and his prospects perk up. But when it becomes very clear, very fast, that all she's after is friendship, Antony wonders if he'll survive the next three months. He is absolutely. Completely. Totally. Displaced. And then tragedy hits. Spill Over is a novel about love, loss, and figuring out what's actually important

Seventeen-year-old Emmy Clark keeps control of everything in her life from her perfect GPA to her Ivy League-worthy resume, yet the one person who always seemed to pull her out of line was her childhood best friend, Grayson King. So when Grayson moved away after his parents' messy divorce last year, Emmy convinced herself it was for the best and forced herself to forget the unfailing friendship she had with the rock-and-roll boy-next-door. Until Grayson makes an unexpected appearance at his mother's remarriage and all of Emmy's tangled feelings about him come rushing back in what she thinks is the only night she'll ever see him again. But for reasons Emmy can't figure out, Grayson is back for good--living at the house next door, working at the family restaurant in town, playing the guitar until three in the morning, and getting under Emmy's skin like he never even left. And even when he's driving her crazy, Grayson seems to be the only person who can keep Emmy from falling apart. Soon, she's left with her heart pulled in two different directions: does she continue to hate the boy who left or let herself fall in love with the boy who came back?
