Dearsydney Stories

Three months ago, four kids were run off the road by a drunk driver and pronounced dead at the scene, leaving their families to grieve and wonder why accidents had to happen. The four left behind families, and namely, five specific siblings: all seniors in high school but not all similar. The five don't interact too often, but a common thought brings them together: what if their siblings had been murdered? As they begin to work together to find out who killed their older siblings, the five begin to realize that they might be getting in over their heads--for the four families have secrets that intertwine them beyond what anyone could have imagined, and the five teens find themselves in possession of the very secrets that may have got their siblings killed in the first place.

Long-distance relationships are often met with rolling of the eyes and the sympathetic "Hope it works out!" response. Yet after seeing her older brother Connor make it work with his long-time girlfriend, Aria Hall thought that she too could make it. Brenden Sarth didn't understand what Aria did. He didn't know how to make it work. And he screwed it up. For both of them. Now, he'll do everything he can to win Aria back, but he might not be enough. And when you live 3,000 miles apart, it's hard to force someone to talk to you. Written completely in text messages, social media posts, and letters between two ex-lovers, "Love, Aria" takes the dynamic of a long-distance relationship from "Dear Sydney" and brings it to a new level of depth and intrigue. Using screenshots and emotional letters, this story, set two years after the end of "Dear Sydney", spins a tale of heartbreak, denial, and ultimately, love. **Although "Love, Aria" is a spin-off from my multimedia novel "Dear Sydney", it can easily be read as a stand-alone book, so don't let the fact that a book came before it deter you from reading!** First chapter uploaded on September 4th, 2016 Highest Rank: #100 in Romance on 4/15/17

(Sequel to Watty Award Winner "Dear Sydney") College isn't for everyone. Sometimes school is meant to end after the twelveth grade. So when Sydney Porter decided to leave James Madison University after her sophomore year, her boyfriend of two years did what any good boyfriend would do: he encouraged her to follow her dreams. So Sydney followed her dreams of becoming a concert violinist...all the way to New York City. 350 miles is less than 3,000, but it's still a ways away. And what better to do during long-distance relationships...than write letters?
