Emma Black is just your average pastor's daughter, a little quirky, a little shy, and very passionate about her friends and family. Over spring break of her senior year of high school, she flies to Florida to spend time with her ailing grandmother and wily grandfather. What she doesn't plan on, however, is meeting a handsome stranger who may or may not be her favorite musician incognito, or her matchmaking grandparents, who are determined to find a husband for her before school starts again. Along the way Emma will meet a persistent young gardener with a secret of his own, go on several adventures, and smuggle doughnut holes into a nursing home. It's a wild romp of everyday problems mixed with crazy relatives and drooling boxers. What's a girl to do? NOTE: Check out the sneak peek of the sequel - "My Freshman Year Fiasco" - included at the end! "MFYF" is now being posted in installments so check that out! (Yes, it still needs a cool cover.

David is ten and a half years old when he becomes the de facto family shepherd and he's twelve when a man called Agent Samuel declares David will be the next ruler of Israel. One of those things seems more likely to happen than the other, even with the strange man's reassurances, and David's not surprised when it turns out to be the sheepherding side of things. Initially, at least. However, time passes. Years pass. David becomes President Saul's unofficial musical therapist, developing a close friendship with his son Jonathan--the man who should be ruler next. He defeats Goliath, the result of genetic experimenting done by the Philistines, with nothing more than a rock and a slingshot, and quickly becomes a beloved hero of Israel. And the more experience that David gets, the more that people become obsessed with him, the more he is willing to concede that maybe that Agent Samuel guy was onto something. He's not the only one who sees his rise in popularity, though; President Saul is keeping a close eye on him, too. A deadly eye. And it soon becomes evident that David will either live to see himself become President or a legend forever remembered as the man who defeated Goliath. CAVALIER is a modern day retelling of the early life of King David, from when he first becomes a shepherd to just before he becomes ruler over Israel. It is a Featured work in the Spiritual section.
