They'd been next door neighbors for three years and only talked twice. Now, Trevor Andrews and Paige Dunham find themselves lying on the roof of Trevor's house, staring up at the stars, trying to find a solution to their persistent insomnia. Little do they know, tonight, they'll find so much more than that... ------------- This is my entry for the #MidnightSunMovie contest. Yay! You had to write a 500-word story about young love blossoming over the course of one night. NOT AN EASY TASK! But the theme of the contest and the challenge of trying to pack as much story as possible into 500 words intrigued me. So, I gave it a go! I'm nervous about how this turned out, but I'd love to know what you think! And please vote if you like it! :-)

❇️ 2018 WATTYS WINNER! The Originals category ❇️ - "The Breakfast Club" meets "Nancy Drew" in this most unusual YA Mystery. SUMMARY: Five high school students, with little in common other than being descendants of the town founders, are forced to work on a history project together. But when their history project uncovers evidence of a long-buried town secret, the kids must piece together the clues behind their discovery before its legacy comes back to haunt them. ***** Using ACTUAL, archival material (some dating as far back as 1776), The Descendants weaves a tale of mystery and intrigue, constructed entirely from real photographs, documents, and snippets of history from a small, rural town in New Hampshire. What Dan Brown did with conspiracy theories in "The DaVinci Code" and Ransom Riggs did with historical photographs in "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children," I will attempt to do in "The Descendants," but with teen protagonists and the Cheshire County Historical Society. :-) Why? 'Cause I'm crazy like that! Yeah, I know...History?! Blah! But it actually turned out really fun! :-)
