The Heart's Underground
Behind the perfectly curated Instagram posts and enviable popularity at Westbrook High lies a truth that seventeen-year-old Alexa Martinez has spent years carefully burying. Abandoned by her father at a young age, she was forced to grow up faster than any child should, navigating the darkest corners of her past with nothing but raw determination and an unshakeable will to survive. Those who see her now - the confident teenage girl with the infectious laugh and fierce loyalty to her friends - would never guess at the shadows she's overcome. She's masterfully rebuilt herself from the broken pieces of her childhood, transforming into someone so strong and seemingly unshakeable that the whispers of her past have faded to barely audible echoes. But fate has a cruel sense of timing. Just as Alexa finds herself falling for Brandon, the charismatic bad boy from old money who seems to set every girl's heart racing , the carefully constructed walls around her secrets begin to crumble. What starts as a whirlwind romance with the kind of boy her mother warned her about quickly spirals into something darker, as long-buried truths claw their way to the surface. Yet even as her past threatens to eclipse her present, Alexa discovers that the revelations about her history are only the beginning. Some secrets, she's about to learn, have teeth - and the ones emerging from the shadows are sharp enough to tear apart everything she's worked so hard to build. In a world where appearances are everything and trust is a currency few can afford, Alexa must decide whether protecting her heart means sacrificing her chance at real love, and if the strength she found in surviving her past is enough to face the storms gathering on her horizon.

My Life Being Dead
Hello. I’m Cassidy. I’m 16 years old, and I am helpless. I’m weak, defenseless and not to mention unassuming. I am utterly boring and uninteresting. I wouldn’t be surprised if God himself overlooked me. Maybe that’s why my life sucks so much. My face is dull and pale, and my hair is mousy brown. My eyes are black and my fingers are long and stringy. Once in junior high, a teacher likened me to ghost. I had wanted to tell her, “Yes. I remind myself of a ghost sometimes too.” But I didn’t say anything in return. I have one friend and even she doesn’t like me for me; only for the shiny new car my step dad bought me. Boys don’t notice me. And when they do it’s only to pick out my flaws and display them to everyone around. All in all, I am a sad and pathetic specimen of a human being. Why am I writing this? Because on June 3rd, 2011, at 12:31 am, I died.Complete

Just Grey: In a Black & White World
"But just look at the world around you, Love. There's messes everywhere with unclear answers. Don't give up yet." She told me gently. "I know, but I just wish that this was less confusing." "Well, things are gonna get confusing after a while, but you can't just stop trying. You've got to search harder for the answer; maybe it's somewhere you haven't looked yet. Someday you'll trip over a rock that's harder than this, and bandaids won't just stare you in the face. You won't know what to do. So prepare yourself for that day, baby." "I'm gonna trip over a rock?" I asked, eyes widening with worry. She shook her head, the bubbly symphony of her laughs echoing in the room. "No. I mean you're going to be in trouble one day and you won't know how to get out of it. Like this, but tougher." "You mean I'll have to go through this again? But even harder? Ugh, I won't make it." I sighed heavily. "No. I know you will. It just won't be so black and white. It'll be....in between the two." "So it'll be just grey?" She revealed her big, beautiful smile to me as if I had understood all that is right and wrong in the world. Kissing the top of my head, she whispered, "Exactly." {full synopsis inside} Rankings- #16 in juveniles #94 in newkid #241 in multimedia FULLY EDITED VERSION NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON KINDLE!!Complete
