Lewis Champion is in love--total, hopeless, unrequited love--with Jubilee Marshfield. Which is complicated, because she's his best friend. And even though his other best friend Shoe, and his awesome grandfather, Paps, are both rooting for him, Lewis can't get up the courage to tell her how he feels. He's always been a wallflower, watching people and making theories rather than acting on his feelings. In a last-ditch effort for her affection, Lewis acts in a play alongside his two friends, and he discovers a talent hidden within himself. But when Paps suddenly dies and leaves in his will a most mysterious task for Lewis, he must find a way to follow through. And along the way, he discovers the secrets of stories, the courage to say what he feels, and a whole new meaning to the word "acting." The only question is, will his best friend feel the same way, or will he lose her when he tells her? Baker Lawley, the award-winning author of THE BATTLE HYMN BLUES, spins a tale of love, drama, and friendship and a good old-fashioned road trip along the way. STEALING THE SHOW is a fun ride on the meaning of acting and the way stories and plays help us make sense of the things we act on.

I'm Devin. Devin Payne. Have you heard of me? No? Good, I've been trying to stay on the down low. I am known as the infamous spy Red, I assume it's because of the dark red streak in my otherwise jet-black hair. Lately I've been moving from place to place, slowly trying to identify the leader of the deadly group K.A. (Kill All - I know, ridiculous name) aiming to take over the United States. Unfortunately, my research has taken me to the worst place on Earth, High School. What will happen when I face the biggest betrayal, the largest surprise, and the most terrifying turn of events? Well, you'll have to find out. ©Copyright @iceheart137 (A big shout out to @emiaaqueenz for the cover!)

Rosswen Blake has never had it easy but she tries not to let it get in her way. She can't. Not since she's the one keeping the bullies at bay. Set in a typical high school, "the Jerk" focuses on the effects and consequences that bullies have on their victims, and shows that there isn't just one type. Real bullying experiences have been incorporated into the story, and I thank those who were brave enough to let me share them. "The boy you punched in the hall today. Committed suicide a few moments later. That girl you called a slut in class today. She's a virgin. The boy you called lame. He has to work every night to support his family. That girl you pushed down the other day. She's already being abused at home. That girl you called fat. She's starving herself. The old man you made fun of cause of the ugly scars. He fought for our country. The boy you made fun of for crying. His mother is dying. You think you know them. Guess what? You DON'T!" Above is the inspiration that gave me the spark to write this story. :) Cover by: @CrazyTurkey

The time of acceptance is over. The world's nuclear end isn't near-it's here. Cris Scarlet and Jesse Valentine never believed in destiny-until it claimed them. Torn between a prophecy neither understands and a world at war, they face an impossible choice: sacrifice everything or watch it all burn. As reality unravels, loyalties splinter. Somewhere between ash and aftermath, love and loss, a choice must be made: Who lives? Who dies? And what if survival isn't the victory they believed? The prophecy offers only one certainty: someone must fall to save the world. Every legend has an origin. This is theirs.
