If Tyler Scott knows something in life is that you only give proper worth to something when you finally lose it. Or as Passenger sings, he only needed the light when it was burning low. He only missed the sun when it started to snow. He only knew he had been high when he was feeling low. He only hated the road when he was missing home. He only knew he loved her when he let her go. ©Copyright 2016. cover by silverfinger-

(Sequel to Watty Award Winner "Dear Sydney") College isn't for everyone. Sometimes school is meant to end after the twelveth grade. So when Sydney Porter decided to leave James Madison University after her sophomore year, her boyfriend of two years did what any good boyfriend would do: he encouraged her to follow her dreams. So Sydney followed her dreams of becoming a concert violinist...all the way to New York City. 350 miles is less than 3,000, but it's still a ways away. And what better to do during long-distance relationships...than write letters? Yet success in a career sometimes means leaving behind people who used to mean the world to you...and sometimes letters become addressed to whoever will receive them, instead of to the person they'd been written to for years. Because, as much as we don't want them to... Every letter has to end. **And naturally, it's written in Dear Sydney's signature style...so don't worry.** First official chapter published: April 24th, 2017 Highest Rank: #77 in Teen Fiction on 9/7/17 Cover by @Queen_InTheWild

Olivia White visited Los Angeles the summer before her freshman year of high school and met a teen heartthrob who fell for her. Hard. She left him when the summer ended and hasn't seen him since, his number blocked, his face forgotten. Three years later, Olivia is a senior in high school and ready to be done with the people around her. Yet when Lincoln Carter decides to move into her town, Olivia panics--what if she's discovered? What if he remembers the girl who left him high and dry and never returned his calls? Nevermind the fact that he doesn't even know her real name. A story of lost love rekindled between two would-be strangers, "Recalling Lincoln Carter" takes away the cliche "pop-star-falls-for-disinterested-fan" storyline and replaces it with a fresh look at just how far lies can take us, and just how far we will go to keep those lies as a reality. Love can be lost, but it can also be recalled. First official chapter published July 11, 2016 Last chapter published January 29, 2017 Highest Rank: #48 in Teen Fiction on 1/29/17

Long-distance relationships are often met with rolling of the eyes and the sympathetic "Hope it works out!" response. Yet after seeing her older brother Connor make it work with his long-time girlfriend, Aria Hall thought that she too could make it. Brenden Sarth didn't understand what Aria did. He didn't know how to make it work. And he screwed it up. For both of them. Now, he'll do everything he can to win Aria back, but he might not be enough. And when you live 3,000 miles apart, it's hard to force someone to talk to you. Written completely in text messages, social media posts, and letters between two ex-lovers, "Love, Aria" takes the dynamic of a long-distance relationship from "Dear Sydney" and brings it to a new level of depth and intrigue. Using screenshots and emotional letters, this story, set two years after the end of "Dear Sydney", spins a tale of heartbreak, denial, and ultimately, love. **Although "Love, Aria" is a spin-off from my multimedia novel "Dear Sydney", it can easily be read as a stand-alone book, so don't let the fact that a book came before it deter you from reading!** First chapter uploaded on September 4th, 2016 Highest Rank: #100 in Romance on 4/15/17
