What happens when the star baseball player hits a home run into the art studio window? ***** All Sadie Lane Garner needed to make herself happy was a canvas and paintbrush. With copious projects due and little studio time, she volunteers to clean the art building in exchange for after-hour use of the university art supplies. But, she doesn't foresee the loud baseball games outside the workshop windows, the near-perfect view of the field, or the sight of devious, dark-haired athlete, Elijah Preston, known for his charm and home runs. And it doesn't take long for Sadie to find out he also has the perfect view of her. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Completed, 80-85k words Stand Alone novel [previously named The Art of Falling] Cover photo from Pexels edited on Canva Copyright of Anna Steffey All rights reserved.

"I never asked for friendship, yet you gave it to me." An introvert who likes to go outdoors. An extrovert who's friends with one person at a time. Summer's daytime lasts longer than the night, inviting everyone out to play. Sabito, a child who's lived through tragedy and neglect for his seven years of life, enjoys spending time in the playground built within his apartment complex. An orphaned child who lives with an aunt who can't be bothered to take care of him. Despite having a lazy aunt who can do nothing but suck the life out of a lit cigarette, Sabito's independence is greater than the typical seven-year-old child. Thanks to his father's teachings before that disaster, he can scrape by each day --alone. Unable to let go of the past and his deceased parents, Sabito becomes absorbed into his own mind, survivors guilt weighing down his small shoulders. As a prisoner of his own thoughts, he sits on the swings and tries to forget about the responsibilities he faces when the clock reads 'home time'. Squeals and shouts from other children make his hands move to his ears, but he can't block out the happiness in the air. Happiness comes looking for him. Valerie, the polar opposite of Sabito's reserved, sophisticated demeanour, comes along to unlock the naive side of a matured brain. As she begins to show him the world in colour, a friendship develops between the two. Best friends forever are what they say. Keyword: Forever. Content: Mentions of death/suicide

~ AVAILABLE ON AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/164434193X ~ She hated riding the subway. It was cramped, smelled, and the seats were extremely uncomfortable to sit on for hours on end. Now add a group of crazy mask-wearing, weapon-wielding, maniacs to the ever growing list of reasons why Gemma hated riding the subway. Gemma Conners is your average eighteen year old and for the past two years she's been riding the subway to and from school with no problem. She always expected the same ol' same ol'. Cramped spaces, hard seats, and perverts staring her up and down and "accidentally" bumping into her and blaming it on the train as it jostled people into one another. Never did she expect a group of masked men to rush in and hold everyone onboard hostage, demanding that they all play along with their sick and twisted idea of a "game". It was either that or die. To add on to her ever growing list of problems, one of the passengers onboard just so happens to be Archer Daniels, your typical high school "heartthrob" and Gemma's classmate. Her day just kept getting better and better. With Gemma's luck, she'd be lucky if she lasted five minutes. Yep. She really hated the subway. *Book Cover Credit: Irah Marie* Thanks again for making such an AMAZING cover!❤️
