In the near future, two teens are swept up in the battle for the internet. A fast-paced thriller about the consequences of the choices we make. Jonah Delacroix can't stand the real world - so he lives most of his life inside a global computer-based virtual world called the Metasphere, where everyone is represented by an avatar. When he discovers the avatar of his dead father, and assumes his online identity, he meets Samantha Kavanaugh, a deadly stranger fighting to keep the Metasphere free. Together, they race across the real world with a secret society to protect the freedom of all mankind. This is the first of a four books series that is published in paperback around the world by Hachette. If you like fast-paced thrillers like The Hunger Games, Ready Player One, and The Maze Runner, I think you'll love METAWARS. I'd really appreciate your feedback, and if you get pulled into Jonah & Sam's adventures, please find the sequels (there are 3!) in good bookshops or online, published by Hachette. Oh, and don't forget to vote!

Did you ever try to find out if you had "superpowers" when you were a kid? What if people with powers actually exist, and they have just been hiding for fear of the consequences of their revelation? In Gifted, which is the first part of a trilogy, people with special abilities--like psychokinesis, pyrogenesis, and other amazing powers--reveal themselves to the world en mass on 4 September 2010. The scientific world is rocked where it is discovered that these abilities are actually explainable natural phenomena, and the appearance of powered people takes the world by storm. However, beneath the surface, a shadowy underworld psuedo-government is quickly rising to assert that the powered ones must be destroyed for the common good, and some people are listening.
