TREADING WATER is a novella prequel to SWIMMING TO TOKYO, published by Spencer Hill Contemporary and available in e-book everywhere.

Zosia Easton's mom died two-and-a-half years ago. Just enough time for Zo to fool herself into thinking she's moved on -- even if she's still living at home and "languishing" (her dad's word, not Zo's) at community college.  

She's promised her dad she'll apply to college and her best friend is already decorating their dorm room at NYU. Except NYU doesn't "feel" right to Zo. Neither do the schools on the shiny brochures appearing in the mailbox every day, compliments of dear old dad. But Zo's not used to trusting her feelings. Hell, she's not used to feeling at all.

The problem is, if she doesn't start, she's going to end up deciding her future based on the pain of her past.Todos los derechos reservados

Chasing Charming ✔️ de bearjordan

Complete! "You know I really like you, right?" He was definitely drunk. "You do?" I asked. My voice was supposed to be teasing, but I think it came off as a bit startled. He laughed, "Yeah, why else would I trust you with all my secrets?" -- Betty was many things; a romantic, a fashion designer, a bit more jealous than the average girl, great with a camera, a helpful daughter and a good friend. But she was best known for being nice. And usually, the boy did not want the 'nice' girl. But this summer she was going to prove to Mike, her crush since FOREVER, that nice was enough. She was going to have an amazing summer, a perfect Junior year, and finally have her first kiss. It was a foolproof plan. Moving from her childhood home in Arizona to New Mexico at the start of Junior year was never a part of Betty's plan. But sometimes when parents are involved, plans change. So now the nice girl had to start over at a new school in a new State. And when the (maybe not so bad) bad boy, Eli, gets involved, it might be hard to be known as 'the nice girl'.
