They Said It Was An Accident... Sawyer Dodd is a star athlete, a straight-A student, and the envy of every other girl who wants to date Kevin Anderson. When Kevin dies in a tragic car crash, Sawyer is stunned. Then she opens her locker to find a note: You're welcome. Someone saw what he did to her. Someone knows that Sawyer and Kevin weren't the perfect couple they seemed to be. And that someone—a killer—is now shadowing Sawyer's every move... "What a ride! Full of twists and turns—including an ending you won't see coming!"—April Henry, New York Times bestselling author of The Girl Who Was Supposed to Die I will be posting new chapters of Truly Madly Deadly every WEDNESDAY as a run-up to the release of my brand new thriller See Jane Run (JAN 2014). Enjoy!

Death is a part of life. It’s natural. It happens to everyone. At least that’s what we are told. But in Hemlock death isn’t the end, it is only the beginning.

Wayward: Fetching Tales from a Year on the Road is a hilarious and heartfelt ride around the world, wherein the author eats dog, obsesses about chewing gum, gets stranded on an island, does dirty things, reveres rock n roll and muses about everything from death to Star Trek to the President Obama to jail time. Now available on Wattpad, Wayward has been a surprise hit at both iTunes and Amazon, reaching #1 on both retailers' travel charts. It chronicles a year in the life of the author, who lived in 12 countries over 12 months, one month at a time. It's kind of funny, kind of sad and kind of weird. Forbes describes the book: "Wayward isn’t strictly a travelogue or a guide by any means. The book reads like a diary, with chapters dedicated to everything from watching Obama’s inauguration in an Argentinian bar, to viewing a dubbed version of the newest Star Trek film in France and trying to understand the plot despite not speaking French, to remembering the ecstasy and pain of his first love just before breaking up with his then-boyfriend in Berlin, to eating dog in Vietnam, to his experience working with Patti Smith in New York. Gates’ lively, conversational writing style bring all the disparate pieces together for an engaging, enjoyable read."

Revenge. That's the only solution in this world. From the hurt, sadness, and destruction. Revenge is the only thing that a person seeks. Supposedly it's their salvation. Those who seek revenge, will only receive the bitter end of their bargain. Janna could never figure what it felt like to be in a real family. Her father left her, her sister hates her, and her mother is another story. But then there's him, Rav. He is her protector but only sees her as an object. With every love story there is a connection, too bad it's only attraction. A/N I am re-editing this story, so I would advise you to read at your own risk.

But after crashing into a mysterious teenager, Nole is suddenly accused of a crime he didn't commit and his stable way of life begins to crumble.
