It was pity that first made Dannie speak to him. She had known Ryan since she was a kid, but he had always been the popular Golden Boy, and she had always been the tomboy that didn’t mind not having any friends. It was odd, she had thought, that all the popular kids who had once kissed the ground he walked on, didn’t so much spared him a glance anymore, and it was this that made her sit with him that one faithful day and begin something that would only end up causing her pain.

It’s the Easter holidays and Little Red’s school friends have all gone on holiday to Florida without her. Bored, she decides to go and visit her grandmother – and along the way she meets a sinister stranger. But all is not what it seems in this fantastically dark and witty modern take on the classic fairy tale . . .

My novella A Taste of Jellybean Kisses is available on Amazon, bn.com and iBooks. It’s a sweet New Adult romance that I’m really excited to be sharing with you. What’s the opposite of friends with benefits? Jax and Jacey. Bends with Frenefits. Significant others who don’t f*ck, or kiss or do anything in between. Voted cutest couple every year since preschool, they’ve been official since ninth grade. With Jax’s help, Jacey’s gone from the sister of the school slut to the popular Ice Queen, and works hard to keep her reputation clean. Jax was happy to be the only one who saw the warm girl she’d always been in the years before but by senior year, she’s freezing him out too. He just wants something real before they graduate, but Jacey figures that since she’s loved him forever, they have forever to wait. A Taste is the prequel, a novella of flashbacks and vignettes so you can get to know Jax and Jacey and fall in love with JELLYBEAN KISSES too which will be out in a couple weeks.
