*Shortlisted for Wattys 2017* Sixteen year old Charlie Shultz almost died ten years ago, when a little boy lured her away with murder on his mind. She escaped, but now her attempted murderer is back. This time, he's different. He's grown up. His face has changed with age; his name is no longer the one that haunts her nightmares. His methods have improved. He's learned new ways to torture, new ways to terrify, and new ways to make the chilling experience last. Poor Charlie won't even see him coming. She won't even realize who he is until he gets a second chance at the One That Got Away.

"Give me ten days, and I can give you ten reasons not to die." Evan paused. "And if I can't change your mind by then, you can go jump off that cliff."

Zoey knew there were stories about the catwalk. Everyone had stories about it. Things like that - dark, old, abandoned things like that - collected stories. They collected ghosts like a child collects baseball cards. Everyone you talked to could tell you a different ghost story about the old train bridge. But the only stories Zoey knew to be true were the girls. The jumpers. But what other stories about the catwalk were true? What really happens when you walk out on the bridge at night? Maybe it's something Zoey would be better off not finding out. -- Awards -- 🥇1st place in short stories, The Monthly Elimination Awards (July, 2017) 🥈 2nd place in short stories, Royalty Awards (August, 2017) 🏅 Winner in horror, The Flowers Awards (2017) 🥇 1st place in short story, The Freedom Awards (2017) 🥇 1st place in short story, The Tick Tock Awards 2017

Someone has been watching Wren for weeks. She can’t see them, but she can feel them. Can feel their eyes on her as she leaves her dorm, as she walks down the street with her friends. This fact becomes startlingly clear when someone poses as her boyfriend on the chatting app, ChatMe, and sends her a link—a link that, once Wren clicks on, won’t be able to exit. Not without repercussions, anyway. Wren learns this lesson the hard way. She soon learns that her stalker is none other than Vee Carper, a girl Wren made the mistake of cyberbullying during their senior year of high school. According to Vee, Wren ruined her life when she made those hurtful posts, and now she has to pay the price. Trapped online with Vee, Wren is forced to do things in order to amuse the girl who has ultimately taken her hostage. If she doesn’t, she will be punished. If she logs off, someone she loves will die.
