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!

Frankie loves her Summers. She spends months lulling over the memories she has from running between row and row of yellow. But nostalgia is all that's left when she steps off the train onto the dusty soil. Through secrets and lies can Frankie bring home what she loves most? Prue and Libby giggle in the front seat of the old battered ute. 'He's actually pretty cute.' Libby tells Prue 'And he should stay that way if Dad doesn't come anywhere near him.' Prue replies. True that, Libby mutters to herself as she looks back at her sleeping youngest sister in the backseat surrounded by duffle bags and suitcases. 'Crank the radio Prue! We're getting outta here!' Libby smiled as the song grew in volume so you could barely understand the words. As they approached the town she rolled the windows down in her single last act of defiance.

WATTPAD ORIGINAL EDITION In 1955, mixed-race Ethan Harper leaves his progressive hometown for a summer in Alabama where he's not welcome, except by resident free spirit, Juniper Jones. ***** After getting himself into a bout of trouble, 16-year-old Ethan Harper's parents send him to Ellison, Alabama, to live with his aunt and uncle for the summer. But the year is 1955, and Alabama is a far cry from his beloved home of Arcadia, Washington. As much as it's hotter in temperature, it's colder in every other way, and Ethan learns the hard way that people see his mere existence as a threat. Amidst all the mayhem, a fiery, free-spirited, oddball walks into Ethan's life. Her name is Juniper Jones. She is the first person in Ellison who seems unfazed by their racial differences, and she promises to give Ethan a summer he will always remember, filled with endless adventure and discovery. With Juniper, Ethan can breathe, he can be, despite the incessant attention and bullying their newly formed friendship attracts. Can the two survive the summer, run in the light and block out the noise of the outside world? [Published version comes out June 16, 2020 with Wattpad Books!] [[word count: 70,000-80,000 words]]
