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]]

The Black Plague has wiped out more than 1/3 of Europe's population. Those affected by the plague usually didn't survive more than three days, but the few lucky ones who looked death in the face and lived are marked by a scar, a sign of what they endured. Called 'mercato' or 'marked,' these people shun them for what they represent and what they have spent so long trying to forget. Raven is a 16 year-old mercato who was orphaned by the plague. Lonely and desperate for money, Raven spends everyday hiding her own scar and waiting until she saves up enough to leave the city of Craigshire forever. But even three years after The Black Plague left Europe, Raven is still stuck. However when she is contacted by a group known as The Raven Society, and things in Craigshire begin to go amiss, Raven realizes that being mercato may not be so bad after all... Set in the fanatical world of medieval Italy, The Raven Society is a book that will keep you constantly on the edge of your seat and also will leave you haunted and wanting more even after you turn the last page.
