Nothing Can Always Remain The Same.
Identical twins Maya and Nikki have always agreed on the important things.
Friends. Boys. School.
They even plan to attend the same historical African American college.
Buts their Portland neighborhood goes from rough-and-tumble to up-and-coming.
Maya feels the connection between Nikki and their community flipping away.
Nikki spends more time at trendy coffee shops than backyard barbecues, and their new high school principal is more committed to erasing the neighborhood's "ghetto" reputation than honoring its history.
As Maya struggles to hold on to her black heritage, she begins to wonder with whom- or where - she belongs.
Does growing up have to mean growing apart?

Their Guy
There was only one word to describe them - Inseparable. Marlene and Leandrea are your twin goals. The perfect siblings who did everything together, did everything for each other and if the time came, they would willingly sacrifice their life for the other. However, the true test of their love begins when Marlene is diagnosed with leukemia - a fatal cancer. On the road to save her sister, Leandrea finds herself doing things she never thought she would do - stepping out of her comfort zone, socializing, hanging out with the popular kids and gradually but most importantly - falling in love. But when she finds out what's really at stake in this mission, will saving Marlene be her top priority? Or will Ryden Andrews - the school's not-so bad, bad boy and a growing deathly cancer be all it takes to separate the inseparable? Will this treacherous bit of life change these twins for the better or scar them for eternity? As soon as they got themselves stuck in this situation, they knew there was no turning back. Only one of them could capture Ryden's heart and only one of them could live. ☆★☆ Highest Ranking: #69 in Teen Fiction ☆★☆ This book has been written, edited and published by me from scratch and is purely fictional.

Above the Noise
In the heart of East Heights, where the streets are loud and the competition is fierce, Rashad, Lonnie, Brooklyn, Kennedy, and their crew are just trying to make it through senior year. But in a world where sports, relationships, and rivalries collide, staying focused is easier said than done. Rashad, the star point guard, has everything-talent, charisma, and college scouts watching his every move. But when Kennedy, the one girl who doesn't fall for his charm, keeps curving him, he realizes that winning her over might be his toughest game yet. Lonnie, Rashad's twin, dominates the football field, but his heart is caught between his best friend, Daja, and his dreams of playing college ball. He swears he won't get distracted-but the line between friendship and something more is starting to blur. Brooklyn is the new girl, but her reputation got here before she did. She's known for her fights with Brianna, a girl who loves to stir up drama. But Brooklyn isn't one to back down, even when Kareem-cocky, confident, and undeniably fine-starts calling her out at every turn. Between Friday night lights, locker room tensions, late-night texts, and secrets that could ruin everything, they'll have to decide: rise above the noise or get lost in it? A gripping high school drama filled with friendship, love, betrayal, and ambition, Above the Noise is about standing out, holding your ground, and learning that sometimes, the biggest battles aren't on the field or the court-but in your own heart.
