Winner of the 2019 WATTY AWARDS *Former Title: Grenadine Dreams* NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON IN PAPERBACK (link in bio) Cover art by Sonia Jas-Cameron *** It was just another nightclub. Just another shot of something hard and strong. Just another hookah pipe to share with a very hot, very mysterious stranger. At least, that's what Naya thought. But when she wakes up the next morning half-naked at the bottom of a hookah bowl, she learns that she has stumbled into the world of the supernatural, and there is only one way out. Uriel is a djinni who just wants a shot at being human. In order to get what he wants, he has to rely on his powers of charm and manipulation one last time. When he meets a free-spirited college dropout at a hookah lounge in downtown Atlanta, he thinks he has her figured out. Little does he know, he couldn't survive one day in the modern world without her. Though Naya and Uriel come from complicated pasts and don't always know which road in life to take, through their burning mutual attraction and a little magic, they can set fire to each other's world, and together, overcome anything. The Djinni and the Dropout is a whirlwind paranormal romantic comedy set against the backdrop of Atlanta, Georgia. Naya and Uriel's journey is a chaotic blend of fiery characters, supernatural encounters, and steamy romance! [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]

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.
