{Watty Awards 2013 Winner} This is simply a story about a lonely girl who finds love. I was inspired to write this because I wanted to know that there are good things that happen to invisible girls like me. I wanted to write Hope for those who seem hopeless. • • • In March of 2013, Letters was #1 in the short story category.

Natalie has never been in love. But on a fateful day, she finds a mysterious daisy in her locker. And it came with a letter from a guy admitting he was totally in love with her. Who could it be? But in the letter, her secret admirer gives her a riddle to another clue. If she ever wanted to know who he was, she'd have to play his game. With the help of Delilah and Jake, her best friends, this game will be a piece of cake. But is it actually possible that Natalie is falling in love for the first time with a guy she doesn't even know? And what happens when you find out the person you were falling so hard for, wasn't exactly who you expected? (All For A Daisy is a story inspired by I'm Only Me When I'm With You by Taylor Swift. I know that song isn't about daisies but I thought it added a sweet little twist to it. This was for TaylorShaeee's Challenge when I was still on booksie.) Author's note (July 2014): Please keep in mind this was written in 2008-2009 when I was 14, so it's super cliche and cheesy, but I respect my 14-year-old self for being brave enough to voice and finish a story like this. I look back on this story as my starting point, and my writing style has evolved immensely since then. But anyway, I hope you like it! Happy reading!

Excerpt: Sauntering forwards, she slid onto his lap with all the grace of a prima ballerina and wrapped her long arms around his neck. Leaning in to his ear, she blew out a little puff of hot air so that it fanned lightly over all the right places. She felt a sense of utter satisfaction when he shuddered. Now that Chloe was certain that she had his attention, she whispered in his ear. “You may have been the best bucko, but guess what…..I’m going to be better.” She lifted up so that she could look him in the face and smiled confidently back at him. His previous cocky demeanor had seemed to have lost some of its earlier steam, “Who are you?” he asked so low that only Chloe could hear him. His forehead was creased as he searched her face, watching her as if she was some type of strange puzzle that needed to be solved. Chloe lifted her hand patted his cheek. The boy didn’t have a clue. “I, my friend, am your biggest adversary. So what do you say Mr. Player, won’t you play with me?”
