Not that this was ever going to stop her from having a little fun. For Darren Dean what was to be one the greatest summers of his life, has turned into a sick sad joke.

Hell, in his case being the sleepy little landlocked town of San Fallcon, known by the local kids as "San Fall...where even the clouds suck". His dreams of Lifeguarding dangerous breaks of Sunset Beach have been reduced to guarding the kiddie pool at the local Plunge, colloquially known as "The Toilet Bowl". So with no beach, no waves, no surf and no life, he is just counting the days until he can finally get back home to the place where he belongs. But both Maybe and Darren will learn the hard way, that sometimes the person you least expect to meet is the one you need the most. And the twists of fate that happen when you're not looking out, are the ties that bind you ...for better or worse.

Nestled in the Chicago suburbs rested the small, one school town of LaginaWood. A sleepy little city where teenagers drink, date, party, and hopefully study. Where citizens hail the Cubs without much reason, high school football is practically a religion--though is more often than not outdone by the annual school musical--and the occasional alpaca farm isn't a surprising sight. In fact, nothing came as a surprise to people of LaginaWood. Not the outcome of the 2016 World Series, not the casting of the latest musical, not the quarterback's numerous scholarship offers, and not the enrollment of new student, Cate Vadim. However, no one expected the thickening shadows gathering in corners, or the chill creeping through the town. Not even Cate. But she contended with it long ago, and she knows it'll only get worse. The shadows will only grow thicker, the air will only get colder. Unless she can stop it. Third Place Fantasy Winner of the Galactic Awards
