[This book will be published by Random House in September 2013 in paperback and ebook format. This is a sample of the first fifteen unedited chapters.] They say that the higher you climb, the harder you fall - and Madison Clarke will do anything to keep her new life from crumbling to pieces. Moving from a small town in Maine to Florida, Madison Clarke grasps the opportunity to reinvent herself. Because that's what people do, right? Madison just wants to forget about those days of being a lonely, loser outcast, and jumps at the chance when the popular kids decide to take her under their wing. A hot boyfriend, parties, friends... If only there wasn't the slight problem by the name of Dwight, a cute, funny and totally nerdy guy in Madison's physics class who she can't help but enjoy spending time with. Running from her past and stumbling through the present, who knows what lies ahead in this new life in Florida?

Ashley Bennett is a nobody at high school, and it totally sucks. So when Josh, the cute guy she sits next to in English, asks her on a date, she can hardly believe it! She and her best friend, Allie, have been waiting for an opportunity to move up the social foodchain, and this may just be their chance - but as Ashley and Josh grow closer, she starts to think her best friend isn't as happy about it as she should be. Can their friendship withstand it? This is the prequel to my third novel with Random House, OUT OF TUNE, which is out on July 3rd 2014 in ebook and paperback.

Ashley Bennett has it all: a hot boyfriend, Josh, a place in the cool clique at high school, straight A grades... It's definitely better than when she was invisible, a nobody, ignored by everyone except her best friend Allie. Or make that ex-best friend - Allie and Ashley haven't spoken since Josh came into the picture. Enter the new boy next-door, Todd. He's sweet, introspective, and prefers to play his guitar to football. As he and Ashley grow closer, she starts to wonder whether she and Josh have enough in common to go the distance. But what will breaking up with him do to her picture-perfect life? Should she follow her head or her heart? THIS IS A SAMPLE ONLY OF MY THIRD PUBLISHED NOVEL WITH RANDOM HOUSE. YOU CAN READ THE COMPLETED PREQUEL I WROTE, STRIKING A CHORD, HERE ON WATTPAD AS WELL. THE PAPERBACK OF OUT OF TUNE IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE IN THE UK AND THE EBOOK WORLDWIDE.
