In the fall of 2010, sixteen teenagers suddenly vanished without a trace from a small suburban town in the Midwest. Each one was sixteen years old. There were no witnesses, no ransom notes, no clues whatsoever as to what happened to them. The community was devastated and the police were baffled until they all suddenly reappeared, sixteen weeks later with extraordinary new powers and no memory of where they had been or what was coming next. ** PLEASE NOTE - this is a rough draft of a future full length novel - it is ON HOLD right now

What happens if you walk barefoot at midnight? You would probably say nothing happens but have you ever tried walking barefoot five steps away from the extreme West side of your house? Madison is instantly transported to a club called "The Hell Bar and Lounge" when she does the above. At first glance she thinks the club filled with humans but at a closer look she realizes they are too perfect to be human. It's a place, no human has ever heard of before. Hidden in another dimension, it's a club in which beautiful creatures, who are certainly not human, get together. A Charming non-human boy introduces her to the "The Hell Bar and Lounge".

What if we were all connected in some way? Across time? Across space?

In this day and age, what truly defines being normal? What would you do just to fit in? (FIN)

Rosswen Blake has never had it easy but she tries not to let it get in her way. She can't. Not since she's the one keeping the bullies at bay. Set in a typical high school, "the Jerk" focuses on the effects and consequences that bullies have on their victims, and shows that there isn't just one type. Real bullying experiences have been incorporated into the story, and I thank those who were brave enough to let me share them. "The boy you punched in the hall today. Committed suicide a few moments later. That girl you called a slut in class today. She's a virgin. The boy you called lame. He has to work every night to support his family. That girl you pushed down the other day. She's already being abused at home. That girl you called fat. She's starving herself. The old man you made fun of cause of the ugly scars. He fought for our country. The boy you made fun of for crying. His mother is dying. You think you know them. Guess what? You DON'T!" Above is the inspiration that gave me the spark to write this story. :) Cover by: @CrazyTurkey
