[A psychological thriller] When you can't even pay for a bottle of water, you might want a friend like Casper. This may be hard considering he's the God-given prophet of Seabrook high; the type of kid who offers existential philosophies on a Monday and spews poetry the next. Friends are a select few for Casper, and Holden doesn't have the right kind of luck for a golden ticket. But he isn't worried. After all, to win the heart of a prophet, all you need is intelligence. And intelligence is all he's got. Cover credit: Photo by Martin Stranka. Design by toska_. Trailer Credit: Clips from Xavier Dolan films. Made by me.

WATTPAD ORIGINAL EDITION In 1955, mixed-race Ethan Harper leaves his progressive hometown for a summer in Alabama where he's not welcome, except by resident free spirit, Juniper Jones. ***** After getting himself into a bout of trouble, 16-year-old Ethan Harper's parents send him to Ellison, Alabama, to live with his aunt and uncle for the summer. But the year is 1955, and Alabama is a far cry from his beloved home of Arcadia, Washington.

Amidst all the mayhem, a fiery, free-spirited, oddball walks into Ethan's life. Her name is Juniper Jones. She is the first person in Ellison who seems unfazed by their racial differences, and she promises to give Ethan a summer he will always remember, filled with endless adventure and discovery. With Juniper, Ethan can breathe, he can be, despite the incessant attention and bullying their newly formed friendship attracts. Can the two survive the summer, run in the light and block out the noise of the outside world? [Published version comes out June 16, 2020 with Wattpad Books!] [[word count: 70,000-80,000 words]]

Foster kids look out for each other and Mattie feels like she has to help Sally, but she can't do it alone. Against her better judgment, she teams up with a young police officer and together they set out to discover the truth of Sally's disappearance. Now the killer has set his sights on her. It becomes a race to see if she can find the truth before the serial killer finds her.

There are some who believe that magic is gone from this world; or rather, that it never existed in the first place, being nothing but superstitions of fearful apes attempting to impose their will on an uncaring universe. This is, of course, incorrect. The first bit, not the stuff about humans being fearful apes. In contrast, there are some who believe that magic, like the nebulous divinity of pantheism, is an all-pervading force unifying the cosmos, and what we in our limits call mundanity is in fact a sliver of Eternity itself. This is also incorrect. Furthermore, it is hippie nonsense, or at least a symptom of watching too much Star Wars. There is a third view, however: that magic is still here and never really left, preferring instead to conceal, to relocate, to feign normalcy. Witchcraft still stirs up trouble, the fae still lurk in green glades far from asphalt encroachment, and if you turn around quick enough you might spot the border between this world and the Other Place. This is, for the most part, incorrect. The Other Place has its own rules, its own power struggles, and generally regards the mundane world with disdain. However, it is most completely incorrect in Cedarville, MA, where the worst criminals, spies, and dissidents from the Other Place hide from retribution under an uneasy truce. In Cedarville, magic does not hide. It is not separate, or subtle. And most of all, it does not play by the rules. (Or: Joe was feeling chaotic and dumped a bunch of AG tributes in a small town AU)
