The rainy college town should have been their safe haven - the wetlands surrounding it a moat separating them from their pasts. The two meet in their freshmen year, with little in common but their social circles. Violet spends her days numb - hiding from the pain in any way she can. Rio runs from his. He's out from dawn to dusk, if not on the court, then scrounging up money for food or finding somewhere to sleep other than his car. What divides them most... is hope. Rio has it. Violet doesn't.Complete

Wattys Shortlist 2022 - In the shadow of a ruined world, survival comes at a cost. Decades after modified radiation bombs decimated the earth, the survivors of New Australia live in fractured Zones-regions ruled by scarcity, controlled by gangs, and governed by fear. The bombs didn't just destroy cities; they unleashed two devastating plagues. D.V.B, a deadly airborne illness, wiped out millions. But M.A.D was worse-a mind- warping disease that turns victims into violent, flesh-hungry predators. In the RedZone, where hope is a luxury and danger is routine, Violet Warrendale has learned to hide in plain sight. By day, she's the reluctant daughter of a prominent gang leader. By night, she's Viper-a deadly ghost in the underworld, wanted for assassination. Vi has only one goal: escape Lake Darling and disappear. For good this time. But when the military storms the RedZone and abducts everyone under twenty-eight, her plan shatters. Imprisoned in a Reproduction Facility-where survival means obedience-Vi must conceal her identity from the enemy. Worse, her cellmate is the gangster responsible for her brother's disappearance. With enemies on every side, secrets buried deeper than the fallout, and a rebellion brewing in the blood-soaked cracks of the system, Vi has a choice: stay hidden, or burn it all down. ...

Can You Feel My Heart (MFF)
Violet Thompson doesn't have a normal life. She's a bit of an unintentional loner that doesn't get along with her parents. Her daily life consists of dirty diapers, sleepless nights, and a part-time job that is sucking the life out of her. It isn't perfect, but it's her life. Ben and Katie Parker just moved back into town after spending years moving from state to state, while Ben was gaining experience and knowledge from some of the country's top chefs. Both ready to settle down and start living out their dreams of owning their own restaurant and starting a family. Neither one of them planned on a nineteen-year old and her daughter weaseling their way in and becoming a vital piece of their happiness. Is it love or is it just a crush? Violet doesn't know for sure, but one thing is certain. They make her feel important. Special. Whole. ***This is a story that contains a relationship between three people. If you don't like it, don't read it. Simple. As it stands, it isn't going to be overly sexual. That might change as I am writing it, but for now it's PG-13.***Complete
