EXCERPT****
The headline is in deep black in all caps, like it's begging for attention. SON OF LOCAL FAMILY LEGACY INVESTIGATED FOR KIDNAPPING AND MANSLAUGHTER. The son in question is John Waite.

Murder In Roxie Cove
When a well-known teen is found murdered four people find their lives turned upside down ... each of them holding on to a life-threatening secret of their own makes it hard to not point a blaming finger especially when the only person who knew of these secrets is the one who ended up dead. * * * It's summer in the small town of Roxie Cove, and the smell of freshly cut grass and sizzling barbeques fill the air. Every summer, the teens are bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, ready to spend their time at Saint DeLuca, a campsite on the outskirts of town. It is a place where they can be as reckless and as sneaky as they want without their parents finding out. That's all thanks to the camp counselors. This year's core five are Kian Sullivan, Avani Grant, Dawson Hunt, Nadine O'Connor, and Marcel Bailey, and they want to make it their mission that the campers have the summer of their lives. But, when Avani Grant is found floating in the lake with stab wounds so severe she's almost unrecognizable right before the campers are supposed to show, the cops shut down Saint DeLuca. With Kian, Dawson, Nadine, and Marcel the last four to see her alive, of course, they're the main suspects. With the town on edge and Avani's web of clues slowly untangling, it's a tale of whodunnit. But as the investigation pursues, it turns out Avani held onto secrets many would want to take to the grave. Now it's time to find out who took that meaning a little too serious?Terminé
White Lies (Book 1)
Jesabel is a liar. When her only friend mysteriously disappears, she does what comes naturally. She keeps her truth from the world. Without warning, she is thrown into a web of lies far more dangerous and lethal than anything she could imagine. With an annoyingly charming boy by her side, can she unravel what she refuses to tell - the truth? WHITE LIES HAS BEEN REVISED, EDITED AND REWORKED! Happy late new year, friends! I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that White Lies, a story that has been up and running on Wattpad since 2011, has been re-written and revised for the coming decade. What does this mean? This entails the same characters you know and love, with better flow, better writing, more nuanced character development, more mature content, and entirely different plot lines. Jesabel's character has changed drastically since I last introduced her to the world (nearly NINE years ago! yikes!), and I wanted to make this story a more nuanced and modern take. When I had written White Lies, I had been just 14 years old. And I've done a ton of growing, learning, and unlearning over the years. This means that my characters have grown and developed with me. If you are an old friend and re-reader - welcome, and please enjoy the same old story you love with a brand new take! If you have started along this White Lies journey beginning in December and all throughout January, you might have read a half-edited and half-original version of the story. So please feel free to re-read at your leisure! I won't bite, I promise.Terminé

I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph.
