Smoking Mirrors: Season 1
In a Florida city split between West Lake and South Bay, sixteen-year-old Joshua Miller just wants a clean start. But a block party shooting, a police interrogation, and a new circle of friends pull him into a world where loyalty is currency and survival is luck. DJ James is the hometown hero - a two-sport star with D1 offers and a cousin in the streets. Reggie is the funny one born under a bad star, sure that trouble follows him. Stephanie is a sharp-tongued Dominican New Yorker trying to rewrite her own story. And over all of them loom two names: C4, the wounded but charismatic West Lake hustler, and Qis, the quiet South Bay mastermind. When gunfire erupts at a Friday night game and two of C4's boys go down, rumors move faster than facts. The city decides C4 is dead before the doctors do. South Bay, West Lake, Miami sets, Section Six, and the police all brace for war. Everyone is watching. Everyone is choosing sides. And Joshua - who ran from this kind of life once already - finds himself right back in the blast radius. In Florida, mirrors lie. People don't. This is Book One of SMOKING MIRRORS - a slow-burn, street-real story about pressure, loyalty, and the cost of staying alive.

The Devil is Marvelous
"Ava, you have to be quiet! They'll hear you-" Tears started to spill from my eyes, blending in with the rain that dripped down my face. I shouldn't have come here. The last time I followed someone I made accidentally noise and got them killed. I had to get away from Jaxon. I turned on my heel, ready to run to, but Jaxon grabbed my wrist. "Let go" I choked, "I have to leave. You're in danger-" The next thing I knew, his lips crashed onto mine. His arms wrapped around my body, pulling tightly to his chest. "Stop it" I sobbed, unable to control my trembling. "Why are you doing this? Let me go-" "I had to get you quiet" he murmured. "Please Ava. You have to try to calm down. I understand you're scared right now, but you have to trust me. We're going to get home safely. Stay with me a few more minutes, and then we'll get the f*ck out of here. I promise." -- A little about Ava: She has made the long move from Detroit, Michigan to California to escape her gruesome past.
