Centuries into the future, the Earth has been divided into two New Worlds. Terra: a picturesque version of the original. Inhabited only by the inordinately rich who throw their money at sinful pleasures. The Wasteland: the original Earth. Made toxic by warfare and pollution, 'Wasteland' is a kind name for the prison to killers, thieves, rapists, liars, and rebels. A young man from Terra, Ian Klyne grew up surround by everything he could ever dream of having. He longed to do good in the world, to be someone's hero. But growing up plagued by the pleasures of the wealthy cloud his idea of good...and mark him a rebel condemned to death. A young woman from The Wasteland, Kyndra fought for her home since she was young.

But those answers come at a price, one that even she can't pay. Raised in opposite worlds, the pair were never meant to meet. Until lost memories and a wrongful imprisonment bring a spark to a hopeless rebellion. Now, he will learn what being a hero really means, and what he must sacrifice to be good. While she will learn the truth; and carry the pain and responsibility that come along with it. Together, they can fight. Together, Earth has a chance.

Reece Bremer goes through life with a scowl and cold personality. Jessica Andrews goes through life with a glowing smile and positive outlook. Reece looks at life with dull, judgmental eyes that make him hate the world and the people living in it. Jessica, well... She looks at life through a camera. Literally. They're polar opposites, and that's what sparks Reece's immediate hate for Jessica the moment they meet. All he sees is a girl with the best life, put in the category of those who get everything handed to them on a silver platter. But who says Jessica's life is like that? Just like a photograph, there's more to the story than what you see. Stumbling across one of Jessica's hidden portfolio might reveal that her happiness isn't all that true. Behind that smile and each picture she takes, holds a thousand words of a very big secret - one that Reece is determined to find out. And who knows? It just might change everything between them. cover by dysanic || 2015 watty's winner for talk of the town ||

A surfing safari down the coast of California, a few shocking and rather unpleasant secrets, and four inevitable relationships that seem doomed to fail - this is where six salt-encrusted, surf-stoked teenagers find themselves as they rocket down PCH in a beat-up Volkswagen surf van. Alana Walker was born and bred in the waters of Ventura, CA. She's known as the best surfer at C Street and has a heart for God. Cole Anderson, on the other hand, hates anything that has to do with church and loathes being second-best to a girl, especially when that girl is Alana. So when these two get stuck on a month-long surfing safari, they find that their relationships - and more importantly, their faith - is about to be compromised. However, the old saying still rings true: opposites do attract. [ adventure #3 ] SEQUEL: CAUGHT INSIDE

(The Forgotten Passages Book One) After almost nineteen years, I was used to life - used to school, used to having to put down my beloved books in exchange for heels and pearls, and used to lying to everyone who wasn't aware of my second, secret life in the Brotherhood of Time. It's been five years - five years since the Order's been heard of, five years since my life became a little more exciting...but almost four years since I saw the one person I thought I never wanted to see again. Drake Garner's reappearance wasn't coincidental. He'd been hiding something, something he's finally ready to reveal, and I'm apparently one of the few he trusts. I thought I knew about secrets...until I knew his.

(The Triumvirate Histories Book Three) What do you call the girl who gets on a jet with the supposed enemy rather than one that would have taken her normal, not so dangerous life in New York? A traitor to the people who call her family, betraying them to the people they'd called the enemy for centuries. Now, add a woman who had almost successfully killed you just a few months before, though had turned extremely nice and even protective, and her nephew who looks at you with an expression you want to just slap right off his face? The two people who supposedly had a plan that would pretty much make you disappear off the face of the earth. And what happens when that plan completely breaks the heart of the man you love, even if it works perfectly? You shatter your own in the process...which you think you deserve for doing it to him and everyone else who loves you. Anyone who hears my story might think I'm a traitor, but I'm not...no matter how much I feel like I am. I was going off with the Knights learn more about their side of the story. Being with them, I knew it was going to change me, too. They were the fighters, the protectors of the Brotherhood, even though they thought they were out to destroy them. And I was going to protect them now, too. According to the reports, the Order wasn't hiding out anymore. They were on the move, infiltrating giant corporations and governments of wealthy, powerful countries. We were going to try everything to stop them and their ambitions of molding and controlling the future in their favor. And how could I forget the inside, the one who was telling all the Brotherhood's secrets, even if the Knights had already known them? But before I could do that, I had to disappear, make sure that no one came to look for me...and that involved breaking the hearts of my family, friends...and, most importantly, John. His heart had been broken so many times in his life...but now I was going to shatter it.
