High school in the early 90s: it was before cell phones and social media, but the problems were the same. How do you get the guy you're interested in to notice you? What happens if you fall in love with your best friend? Why does physics class keep factoring into your love life? This novella is loosely based on my own high school experiences... but sort of an alternate version of them. You can only make one set of choices in life, so it's fun to explore what could have been - but wasn't - in fiction. Also, set in 1991-92, this is kind of a period piece now! In some ways it's a love letter to the teen books I read back in the 80s and 90s, in particular those by Ellen Conford and Paula Danzinger. I hope you enjoy it.

Mikhail is the son of a flower shop owner. He's hard working and sometimes a little too serious for his own good. He has a few good friends he socializes with, but that's about it. He helps his father run the flower shop after his mother died. They're both trying to keep the business open no matter what. Though, his father is a bit of a handful and a drunk so he often gets into debt with the wrong people. Mikhail is one day met by Nico, the son of a powerful Mafia boss. Nico demands payment for his father's debt but Mikhail brushes him aside. For Nico, that was the first time someone wasn't afraid of him. This chance encounter leaves Nico breathless and in a need to see Mikhail again. The problem is that Mikhail doesn't want anything to do with Nico. With a new group, 'Zechna', killing off Mafia members one by in the background, will Nico survive unscathed? Friendships will be tested, family will be damaged, and love will falter. Whether these two meeting will be a blessing or a curse is still unknown. They differ in personalities but, hey, opposites attract, right? ((POV's switch and change)) •Completed: April 2, 2017•

Forced to share his bed with an attractive stranger, Ash Jamieson suddenly finds himself confronted with feelings he thought he'd repressed. ***** Riddled with adolescent angst, lavished with profanity, and adorned with more cheese than your favourite take-out pizza, Top and Tail chronicles the life of Ash Jamieson as he haphazardly navigates his way through malicious schoolmates, whackjob teachers, disillusioned parents, imbecilic athletes, audacious girls, and of course, his most pressing problem: the subdued pretty-boy that has suddenly invaded every aspect of his life. Being a teenager is hard, ok? ***** Top and Tail is posted exclusively on Wattpad!

"Your name is Kenneth Kentucky and you work at McDonalds?" I glared at him, "Would you like Fries with that?" He began laughing hysterically and I sighed impatiently, waiting for him to stop. Suddenly, he stopped and then, putting both his hands on the counter, staring right into my eyes, he whispered, "I'd like Fries with you." My eyes widened as it slowly registered that Golden Boy McHarden had just openly flirted with me.
