What happens when two lifelong best friends hit the highway to celebrate the big 4-0? A few bumps in the road, some unexpected lane changes, and a couple of hairpin turns to reach the perfect destination.
Bridgett Thompson hasn't left her children for more than a few hours since she gave birth thirteen years ago, and traded a job for a baby and suits for sweats. Three kids and a zillion dollars in baby-butt cream later, her best friend, Doreen, asks her to celebrate the 'biggie birthday' with a long weekend in Canada. Bridgette is convinced her family would never survive without her. Plus, her workaholic husband would never allow it. Not that he is ever around to discuss it anyway.
After too many glasses of wine, Bridgette agrees to the girl trip. Despite her lack of a vacation-suitable wardrobe or her brain-swelling worrying, she hits the road ready to relax and unwind. But Doreen has a few extra stops in mind along the way, and none of them are anywhere close to Canada. The more trouble the girls get into, the more Bridgette begins to see the reality of what she left behind and accepts her fate to rediscover who she was before life became stale Cheerios and biodegradable diapers.
Girl Trip is a women's fiction novel that celebrates the hard work it is to be a mom, the quest to hold onto our identities, the importance of our best girl friends, and the need to get away every now and then. Follow this humorous journey between two best friends that will make you want to pack it all up and hit the road. Take an escape and leave life in the dust.

Friends Unrequited... Maybe
"I just realised something." I say, breaking the long silence from the journey. "I'm not gonna be too sad if we don't end up finding her." I speak looking straight ahead as I drive down the road, a million thoughts running through my head. I continue, "Maybe cause to travel is better than to arrive. It's actually what has happened along the way that counts; the tears, the falls and the friendship. It's about the journey and not the destination. And I know she'd think the same. So, I guess, we just gotta trust that the future is gonna work itself out like it's supposed to." I finish off and the other two don't say anything. I glance towards them to see them watch me with apprehension. We all fall silent once again as the trees pass by us, unable to stop thinking about that one silly, reckless knobhead. Friendships are nice that way, just a bit complicated

Because that one piece of paper is a large piece of his father -- someone he's never met and never will be able to meet. But as Leo finds himself heading to Whistler, BC to explore where his father was born and who he was before he died in a car accident, he begins to wonder if that bucket list could give him any clues. Aria Madden is the daughter of the now-retired, famous NHL player, Luke Madden. Anyone would consider that a lot to live up to, but Aria is content with her current position. In January, she'll be competing in the Winter Olympics for Canada's women's hockey team. Over the summer, she's going to be training in Whistler, BC with the rest of the team, all while staying at her aunt's house. But even though it seems like she has everything under control, Aria is stuck in a whirlwind of anxiety. While she's happy and excited that her hard work has paid off, she's worried she won't live up to her father's legacy. When Leo and Aria cross paths on a fateful summer day, they're thrown into the chaos of an unforgettable summer adventure -- filled with charming and mysterious people, astounding views, and alpine air. But as the summer continues on and the heat is amped up, undeniable chemistry begins to brew between the two of them. But what happens when summer ends and they have to go their separate ways?

Good Things I'll Never Do Again
***THIS STORY WILL BECOME FREE ON JULY15th!*** Beverly Curie only lives for herself (and maybe ice cream). When her three nieces are suddenly put under her care, she must do the impossible: think about someone other than herself. Beverly is the only member of her family left in Chestnut Ridge, where she's kept the same routine for eight years: do as little work as possible during the day, marathon sitcoms in the evening, and try (for the life of her) to get everyone to leave her alone. When she loses her position at Red Ribbon's Craft Store, Beverly is left without a job and without a paycheck. Then her estranged sister, Aimee, calls with an impossible favor: Could Beverly take care of her three nieces for six months? It's insane. But then there's the thirty thousand dollars that Aimee offers to pay and Beverly can't resist. Suddenly, she's stuck taking care of three little girls, trying not to kill the soccer moms at the snobby Percival Academy, and joining the PTO. Now Beverly--self-serving, sarcastic, and problematic--must take on the role of a loving parent. And she is anything but.
