Thalia Atwood is an exceptionally determined young woman who one day aspires to be a prestigious lawyer. Thalia works hard year round to get into her dream school... Oxford. She has spent every school year, summer, and holiday working her butt off to achieve her dreams, but this summer her mom has different plans for her. Thalia has to make the best of a situation she never dreamed of being in. Now the Atwood's are of the coast of Massachusetts, on the wealthy island, Martha's Vineyard, and Thalia finds herself losing her grip on life. The only question is, will someone be there to carry her through it? ~~~~ "Why does is cost so much? Geez, am I buying the whole serf shack?" The sarcasm was not very appreciated, apparently. Sam went back to his dismal attitude. "Each board is fifty dollars to rent, the lessons are fifty dollars each, the adult shirt cost twenty, and the children's shirts cost fifteen each, making that a total of three hundred and fifty dollars." This was a bust, now I couldn't serf. I heard the bell at the back of the shack ring and footsteps draw closer. "I'm sorry I only have two hundred on me, I guess I'll come back some other day. Thanks anyways Sam." As I was putting the cash back into my wallet I heard a voice that sounded vaguely familiar. "I'll pay for you." I turned around and was met with those alluring blue eyes that I gazed into for the first time a few days ago. It was Dean.

This is a book about various types of superpowers. I am writing this for all you people that want to write a book with people that have superpowers in it, but you can't think of any unique or cool superpower for them. Use these and tell me if you're writing a book with the superpowers in them, I might read them.

All Ed needed to become the Internet's latest boyfriend was a chili-pepper costume. But getting sunny foreign-exchange student Audra to prom will take a lot more than that. Ed doesn't know he's beautiful. But he is. Even when his crazy boss forces him to wear an "extra-spicy" chili pepper costume as part of a May 5th promotion. It was only meant to be an after-school job at a low-key Mexican restaurant; Ed never signed up for abject humiliation. And when a lovestruck girl snaps a covert picture of Ed while he serves her an enchilada, he couldn't possibly have anticipated becoming the internet's latest imaginary boyfriend. The fame is immediate and disorienting, but if it helps Ed convince quirky foreign exchange student Audra to attend prom with him, being "Enchilada Ed" might not be so bad.

He needs a place to live, she needs a baby daddy. Pietro Santangelo and Marguerite White are students at prestigious Columbia University in New York City. She is a fun-loving, free spirit who finds herself in a bit of a familial bind, he is an exchange student with a chronic case of poverty. They concoct a plan that they think will work, not realizing how much changes with two simple words... Pete merely looked at her and opened a box of books. He took some out and began placing them on the shelves, bending and stretching at his task. He had a nice back, broad shoulders and muscles that could be seen clearly under his light blue T-shirt. Daisy watched for a minute, fascinated. "Like what you see?" he asked without turning around. She jumped at the sound of his voice. "Well, you're the only thing in the room that's moving, you know?" she said by way of explanation. He turned around to look at her, books in either hand, a small grin on his face. "Of course, what was I thinking?" he asked rhetorically. "And look. We're both adults here, hm?" He looked carefully at her. "The couch we just brought up here cost fifty dollars at the second-hand store, and has to be at least thirty years old. I don't want to sleep on it, and I don't think you're going to want to sleep on it, either." She shook her head. "So the bed is nice and big," he continued. "I think we can manage, don't you? We can share the bed." He watched her for her reaction. "I give you my word this is not going to be a problem for me. At all. Is this going to be a problem for you?" She looked at him. "Really? At all?" She recovered from the unintentional meaning of his words quickly. "No, it won't be a problem for me, either," she said firmly. "We can share the bed."

"This Time, Last Time" is the story of James Mason, a Professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, who's trying to balance a present that's making him confront a past he's buried deep down for eleven years. Asked to return to his former position in the auror's office at the Ministry of Magic during the summer holiday, James finds himself juggling not only a complicated investigation to protect the International Statute of Secrecy, but a personal life that was difficult enough to maneuver before he found himself back in the same space as Elise Walsh, the girl he once almost married. Between coming to terms with an ending neither one of them properly addressed, and helping his widowed best friend Raigan to raise her daughter Piper, James' loyalties are stretched thin. Written in alternating time periods, "This Time, Last Time" takes place between the early 2000s, in the years immediately following the second wizarding war, and the late 20-teens. (Author's Note: "This Time, Last Time" takes place wholly in the Harry Potter Universe. However it uses no canon characters, except by mention. Everything in JK Rowling's series exists as absolutely true in this book, but all characters are of my own creation. The world-conflict in this story is a succession of that mentioned in my other book "ELIXR." It is absolutely not necessary to read the first to understand this book. They are completely standalone. However, their world is synonymous and many of the major characters in this book make appearances in "ELIXR" and vice versa.)
