Three friends. Two love stories. One convention. In this geeky romance, three BFFs go to SupaCon in search of fandom, and end up finding love. Charlie likes to stand out. Fresh from a public break-up with co-star Jason Ryan, SupaCon is her chance to prove to the fandom that she doesn't belong in anybody's shadow. But with her fans refusing to abandon the Charlie/Jason 'Chase' ship, opening her heart to someone new won't be easy. Taylor likes to blend in. Her SupaCon dream is simple: meet her idol, Skyler Atkins, a.k.a Queen Firestone. Entering the Queen Firestone SupaFan Contest seems like a no brainer - fangirling is her thing, she's even got the cosplay to prove it. But paralyzing anxiety is also her thing, and it's held her back her whole life. From the bestselling author of THE EVA SERIES and filled with geekiness, cosplay and fandom, QUEENS OF GEEK is a story about friendship, self-discovery and finding the courage to love with all your heart. (Formerly What Happens At SupaCon). COMING TO BOOKSTORES IN 2017 FROM SWOON READS/MACMILLAN PUBLISHING!

“Love’s like a bullet. It’s fast. It’s furious. Sometimes you can’t see it coming. You can run from it. But you can’t dodge it. Unless someone stands in your way…” Growing up, Callie Tollson had always admired her older brother, Clay, for being exactly who he wanted to be…despite the consequences he faced doing so. With their roles reversed, Callie had always been the one to stand up for Clay when he was in harm’s way. She always thought this was enough. She thought she was able to protect him. That is until he turned the tables and unleashed harm back on those who had done it to him. She couldn’t understand why, being the one who stood up for him the most, she was the one he picked as the receiver for the final bullet in his gun. Now she’s the most feared girl in school with a haunting family tie to keep her stuck in the halls of Riverton High. As she tries to survive the rest of her junior year as the sister of the boy who brought a gun to school, she soon realizes she owes nothing to the boy who turned on her and everything to the boy who saved her life.

18 year old Florence Remy has three things that mean the world to her: Twizzlers, her best friends Ade and Clancy, and her parents' coffee shop the Espresso House in downtown Brooklyn, New York. As a small business amongst huge corporations, Florence and her parents struggle to make ends meet. However, they remain optimistic and happy. The coffee shop may not bring in much, but it's enough to keep them on their feet. But what happens when a group of dangerous Brooklyn mobsters force Florence's parents into giving them co-ownership of the shop? Crime boss and leader Wolfe Sterling takes a great interest in the tunnels that lead past the Espresso House cellar. Dirty business is what he's best at and dragging people into his dangerous (and illegal) activities are no bother. But things go sideways when he also takes a strange interest in Florence. And it really doesn't help that he's hotter than freshly brewed coffee...

College is supposed to be different from high school, yet here I am living almost exactly how I was back then. I still don't party. I still don't date. I still ace my classes. And my best friend is still the most popular guy in school who encourages me to try new things on the regular. He takes me to parties, as a friend. He teaches me how to flirt with boys, as a friend. He holds me when we sleep, as a friend. He offers to teach me how to kiss, as a friend. And I think I'm starting to fall in love with him, not as a friend. DISCLAIMER: Hey guys I know most of my books are PG-13 to the T but this book is not. There is swearing. There is sexual behavior. There is talk of drugs and alcohol. I don't condone/encourage any of these behaviors. I'm just writing about college and a lot of these things do take place in college, so for the sake of being realistic, I included them. But just because these are discussed in the book does not mean you have to do them. Please read with that mindset and don't believe that these things are necessary in order to have a good time or to be perceived as cool.
