Told in the perspective of both Elliot and James, two college students who meet in art school, Thank You, Elliot explores the fears and fantasies of the pair as they travel back home after a road trip to San Diego. Truthful and raw, Elliot's voice empowers the dread and confusion he feels toward liking James, a thoughtful, caring boy who, for once, seems to actually like him back. Every little thing he and James do together is new, exciting, and frightening, and yet nothing seems to settle his mind or please him enough to be content. Plagued by a childhood that raised him to believe he was defective, his mind is constantly riddled with discomfort and sadness. James, on the other hand, is a voice of confidence and understanding. From the second he tried to hold Elliot's hand, he knew who he was dealing with. Driven by a passion he's never felt for anyone else before, he's willing to try and work his way into Elliot's heart. But as they continue to explore more of one another, it becomes clearer that this will not be an easy task, even for him. Whether lost cause or not, Thank You Elliot is a story of love, fear, and everything in between. It's a journey of self-discovery and warmth in a cold, cold world.

Samuel Brandt woke up with his thoughts written all over his body. His brother woke up with his head missing. His sister woke up to find that her skin would crack open unless she stayed in water. All of the other children in the secluded Iowa town of Oak Knoll woke up having undergone strange transformations. Now, they are all forced to live at 407 West Marshall Street, the mysterious house outside of town. With the new name of The Boy with Words for Skin, Samuel wants nothing more than to hide from his new life. He painfully and unpredictably sheds his skin, there is a Voice in the entryway closet that is often cruel, and-perhaps worst of all for a naturally shy boy-the other children look to him as a leader. As his seven-year-old brother struggles with their new life, as terrifying growls start to come from the pitch black basement, and as his feelings for a girl begin to grow, The Boy with Words for Skin realizes that he wants to change. He wants to put others first, learn from his peers, and let himself hope that things will get better. The Boy with Words for Skin is the first book in the 407 West Marshall Street series. Each book will advance the story but be told from a different character. Book 2 will be The Girl without Eyes.
