Welcome to Lisbrooke, California!
Come here to enjoy our beautiful beaches and perfect weather (please drink a lot of fluids as there has been a recent incident of heat exhaustion). Don't forget to take a dip into our clear waters (swimming after hours is prohibited for your own safety) and enjoy a delicious cupcake afterwards from Lisbrooke's finest (and only) dessert shop on the pier (any food fights are punishable by Miss Rosalind's wrath).
P.S!
Beware of the cranky, award-winning director residing on Hallot's Drive. He can be... cranky.
Danger! Caution: the football player living on the outskirts of town will cause severe heart palpitations and may cause a case of cardiac arrest.
We recommend you take a visit in our sleepy sea-side town to relax and go onto one hell (our apologies, Mrs. Lowe)-heck of a ride!
It's the ideal place to shoot your short film and make great friends.
Just remember, you're only here for the summer.

When Love Lasts
SHORT STORY!! There are three things you should know before you start reading our story. One, my name is Vanessa and I'm a fucking idiot. I'm not stupid or anything, I just make idiotic choices that make my life so much harder. Two, this isn't a very good story. Nothing here is perfect and I'm not a very good story teller. It's messy, crazy, unplanned, and at times, it's just fucking stupid. Three, I've always wondered what the point of life is. Being a second choice for everyone around you will make you feel small, invisible, so what's really the point. That always leads me to the question: What is life? I never really found an answer for it, so if you know, please provide me with some insight. Well, now that I have warned each of you, this is the start of our story.Completa
His Winter Heart (Book 1 of Hearts Series) Completed
"Why are you angry?" I asked him. "It's not like we're a couple." He stopped, and stared at me, boring my eyes with his emerald eyes. "If we are..." He paused, clenching his jaw, "then am I allowed to be angry?" I looked at him like he was insane. "Then we'll take it to that level." He continued. "I'm serious. I want you." Leizel Snow Garcia Waterstrings is not just fierce. She's more than that. Ending up as an ice cream worker in a local ice cream shop, it was her one step of becoming a strong and independent woman. And that's when a cold-hearted stranger came in view. Eion Aurelio Hudson. Out of seven billion people in the world, the two hard-headed people crossed paths, making her "strong and independent woman" facade slowly fall apart.

Kissing Is the Easy Part
It started on Wattpad and now it's hitting the screen. Read the original story that inspired the film and then watch KISSING IS THE EASY PART now available on Tubi. KISSING IS THE EASY PART is published by Wattpad Books. Please order from the link in my profile. *** Being beautiful might as well be Flora Morgan's only talent. Some of the words she hates include economy class, second-hand clothes, and budget. She likes fashion, dating, not being on time and getting what she wants - until she meets Sean, who is like the clock striking midnight; he erases all her magic power. He is as mature and sophisticated as the dark roasted coffee he drinks, while she is like a lollipop: colorful, dazzling on the outside but empty calories and artificial sweeteners on the inside. The attraction is instant, but getting a kiss is only the first step. To keep their fire burning, they must accept each other's differences and decide if what they're building is strong enough to survive trials, jealousy, expectations, and the fear of becoming someone they no longer recognize.
BOOTH BOY
"It's a cliché. It makes no real sense and yet there we were, baring our souls to each other while Jess Glynne claimed there was no place she'd rather be over the speakers. Even while twirling my paper straw in my cherry vanilla milkshake, just to keep my fingers busy, I somehow knew I would always come back to this moment and fondly recall the past two hours of muted conversation, probing stares and soft laughter. I would always come back to my booth boy." ~~~~ An unexpected rendezvous between two semi strangers finds it way back into their lives 4 years later when love brings them back to the quaint little town of Park City. Could the subtle blooming summer friendship nipped in the bud blossom into a spring romance? Could it possibly survive the harshest winter yet? Aileen Magnolia Benoit-Pierre, well just Pierre now, wants nothing more than to lay back, kick her feet up and take a BREAK. Working insane shifts, battling an overactive imagination and terrible decision making, all while simply trying to attain her degree is finally taking it's toll on her. The upcoming winter wedding is the perfect opportunity for some unwinding and she's ready for it. Too bad Cassius Hernandez has other ideas. I guess the friendzone's not for everyone.Completa

Nick Next Door
Meet Emma Ellerbee and her best friend Roo Bailey. Together, they share a love of anything chocolate, retro 90's music, and 15-year-old hottie, Nick Rangioni. From tent-hopping on Friday nights (backyard camping parties called "The Tents"), to the annual block party ("Affair on the Square"), neighborhood traditions spark more than bonfires and star-gazing. It's a funny breeding ground for awkward crushes, proving that life doesn't always work out the way we want it to...and that true friendship is often the sweetest gift. ********** From one ridiculously bad decision after another, 14-year-old Emma Ellerbee tries to navigate her hormones, parties, hot neighbors across the street, a pesky 10-year-old, 4 older brothers, and her best friend. Has Emma met her match with the Rangioni crew? Plus, how many cupcakes can one girl eat?? Will Roo eventually forgive Emma for that one little (gigantic) mistake? And can Emma finally forgive herself? ********** [Excerpt from Nick Next Door, Novel is PG rated] [Light & Fun, Easy Read] I'm still fuming when I make it back to my house, but the sight of my mom and Roo baking, and the delicious smell of sugar, instantly lifts my mood. "Ray of Light" by Madonna is streaming in the kitchen. "How did it go?" Roo asks. "Exactly as I expected." "That bad?" "Like if the Titanic was also hit by a meteor." "Want to talk about it?" "Never again." "Thanks, honey," my mom interjects. "For going over there. I really appreciate it - still feel like baking?" "Yeah, I'm in." I grab a whisk and a bowl, along with some eggs. It's time to bake. **********Completa
The Choices I've Made (By the Bay #1)
Twelve years ago, he drove away with my heart in his hands. I've moved on since then. Or so I thought. Growing up in a small town, there weren't too many options when it came to friends. But, even in a sea of a million, I'd always choose Jake Jameson. I felt safe with him. Safe with my secrets, my dreams and eventually - my heart. I thought we'd have forever together. That was a long time ago. I thought I'd forgotten those piercing blue eyes and the sound of his laugh. I tried to obliterate the memory of his touch from my mind. But, one single glance, as he stands at my door, twelve years later, and I'm suddenly transported back to a simpler time when love was easy, and my heart was whole. The problem? I'm marrying his best friend.Completa
