To move on from her past, an extraordinary girl must tear down the walls she has built to protect herself. Mackenzie Douglas seems to have it all: good looks, a great boyfriend, a passion for biking, and a little sister who worships her. But under the veneer of perfection lie the emotional scars of her childhood, inflicted by her father. Though her memories have faded with time, the wounds on Mac’s subconscious remain. Having vowed to never be a victim again, Mac focuses on a journey she’s always wanted to take: a summer bike trip on her amazing new RoadCap bike. But as the excursion finally gets underway, memories Mac long ago buried start to claw their way back to the surface, forcing her to confront a past she has done everything she can to forget. To prevent her sister from enduring the same trauma, Mac must let go of everything in which she’s found refuge. To break a cycle that needs to be broken, Mackenzie summons her strength and risks shattering the world she has so carefully built, exposing hidden secrets, long-told lies, and a horrific crime. Hello, Readers! It took me nine years (seriously!) to finish this YA, Dancing With the Devil, and Diversion Books has published it both digitally and in paperback versions. But guess what? I'm also putting it up here on Wattpad, free. Serialized, so it might make you crazy, but still, cool, right? And the whole thing will be here. I'm serializing twice a week every Sunday and Wednesday and the completed story will be one of the Wattpad Featured Stories starting on June 6th. You'll just have to wait to read the whole thing. After it's all up, I get to answer questions in a LIVE Q&A book club! Talking to readers will be a dream come true.

Keely Staub has grown up. At least that's what she thinks has happened. No longer a naive eighteen year old being introduced to a music industry that's equal parts grandeur and grime, she might even be considered a veteran. At just twenty six, she's lived almost too much of a life in the intervening years since she first came to New York. A great love and a great band, not to mention more than a few unsavoury addictions picked up along the way in the time honoured traditions of the rock stars before her. And she gave it all up - except the rock star part, of course. That was a different Keely Staub, a more innocent and wild one all at the same time. She's determined that person and all the things that came with her will stay in the past, and has a very clear path laid in front of her. A measured, smart, hopefully one day respected, path. The problem is the past refuses to remain the past.

In life there are things that are said, and then there are those that remain unsaid. For Keely Staub, her life mostly remained in the latter category. She kept the one true love, music, hidden from even her best friends. But when one song changed the world she lived in, shaking it to it's very core, everything she knows is about to change. Her future and a past even hidden from her collide as she wades through a world she'd never dared to dream of, allowing her half heart to maybe find an equally broken one in the unlikely source of Seth Ryan.

For decades the Collective have lived among us, infusing their alien DNA into our own, creating children with supernatural abilities. At sixteen these children are stolen away to the brutal proving grounds known as The Academy, where the weak perish and graduates are forged into a clandestine army to be sent out into the world to infiltrate: governments, businesses, media. They lie in wait for the birth of the child who will possess the "god-gene," the child who will lead them against humanity. Sixteen-year-old Lara Ashley is that child. Constantly suppressing the destructive energy rumbling inside, she's led a life of self-imposed isolation-a life that shifts abruptly when her father ships her off to the Academy. It's here where she learns to harness her frightening powers, here where she is given an impossible choice: survive the Academy and become the weapon of humanity's enslavement, or die. Zane Grey arrives at the Academy with one goal: He must kill the "god-child" if humanity is to have any chance in defeating the Collective. The problem? He has no idea who he's hunting. While working to out his target, Zane grows close to Ashley, the surprisingly innocent girl who seems utterly out of place amongst some of the most powerful people on the planet. Learning the truth nearly breaks Zane. After feeling nothing for months, he's fallen for the very girl he must kill. Every day he hesitates is a day she grows stronger, the task more difficult. In the end he'll have to choose between love and duty, with both coming at a terrible cost.
