Life happens between 12 and 12, the hours rolling off with the same regularity of calendar pages. But...if your guides are the constellations in the summer sky, and spontaneity is the sun soaked keeper of the hourglass. If you chase each day as if your last breath lurks at its closing and You live in the pulsing rhythm of the Saint Simon' light strobing over head. You find yourself alive in the heel clicks of bare feet against a duned beach at dusk, and you revel in the warm laughter of friends drifting heavenward through the Spanish moss that hangs from the old oaks. Then... you have lived the moment, and can see a lifetime in the plaintive gaze from a sun kissed face and two infinite brown eyes."

Sea Star
Fresh off her first year at the University of California at Santa Barbara, Emilia Casey is simultaneously happy to be back in her sleepy beachside town for the summer while also missing her life and friends at college. Located on the other side of the country from UCSB, the last thing Emilia expects to see in her mostly unknown corner of the world is her college friends. And yet, that's exactly what happens when Damian Farago, the most beautiful friend she has, shows up on vacation with his family. After a startling meeting, Damian ropes Emilia into being his tour guide for the rest of his time in her charming town. As the pair explores every corner the town has to offer, Emilia finds a crush left over from the school year turning into maybe something more. In this feel-good, summer short story, attractions are strong and smiles can be found all around as two young adults realize that all this time the other had been paying attention. excerpt: ""Okay, okay!" Damian's laughter was warm as he took the cracker, the smile forming on his face one of the kind that made the world unbelievably bright despite the dark sky above them. Emilia couldn't help but smile in return, warmth flooding her chest at the sight of his crinkling eyes. He was just so beautiful. She didn't know how many times she'd thought it since first meeting him last winter, but she was sure, as her eyes lingered for a long time on every angle and curve of his face, that she would never stop thinking it. That she would never think it too much because it was so absolutely true. The way the moon caught on the few gold strands strewn throughout his brown hair, the curve of his lips in his smile, the sparkle of the stars reflected in his eyes. She wanted to memorize him, to recall every freckle and eyelash, to never forget the way he blinked-softly-or the way he breathed-steadily." **WARNING: -considerable swearing -TW: brief discussion of depression in Chapter 4, bipolar disorder in Chapter 5Complete

Eighteen year old Charmeine was looking forward to spending her summer break at home, reading her beloved romance novels. It was the last 'real' holiday she'd have before being shipped off to college and she planned to use it to its fullest laziness potential. Charmeine's plans get roughly disrupted, however, when her mother suddenly decided it was unhealthy for a young woman to sit inside all the time. Before she knew it Charmeine was on a plane with her sister, Joyce, and flying to the Spanish coast for a dream vacation in their family's apartment. Dream vacation for anyone who wasn't Charmeine, that was. Nightlife holidays were for beautiful people with an outgoing personality like Joyce and her friends. Not for Charmeine.

Charmeine's summer was finally starting to look up. Or was it all too good to be true? One thing's for sure: real life wasn't like the romance novels, and it loved to throw the most unexpected plot twists in your face.Complete
