[In progress] A lower-YA novel, inspired by the Dolly Parton song Wildlfowers, about the joy of finding your best friend, the heartbreak of saying goodbye, and all the wild adventures in between. 

When 13-year old good girl Violet Wilson moves to a posh new housing development in a small Texas town, she finds an unlikely friend in wild child Poppy Cooper. They're instant besties, but there's just one problem:  Violet's mom forbids the friendship. Poppy's troubled family life and reckless behavior stands in the way.

After a dramatic turn of events reveals cracks in Violet's family's carefully-curated facade, the girls realize friendship isn't they only thing they have in common. As Violet's world threatens to crumble, and her family makes plans to move away, the two best friends vow to squeeze their teenage years into a few short weeks before Violet must say goodbye. It's all fun and games recreating things like first dates, driving and prom until Poppy falls for Violet's older brother Teddy. It's a betrayal Violet won't soon forget.

Blood is thicker than water, but what about friendship? Can these wildflowers weather the storm?

Head Over Heels by stephzimmy

Lila Daniels has spent all of her life living under the protective wings of her three older brothers, Charlie, Lucas and Tucker or in the gymnastics gym training. None of which resulted in much of a social life. All of that changes though the summer before Lila's junior year of high school when her dad gets a new job in a different state. Being forced to transplant her life to the small town of Romeo without her brothers or gymnastics means Lila is on her own for the first time in her life. How is she supposed to start over from scratch and make new friends now?! The thought of having to meet all new people for someone who likes to fly under the radar is hard enough, but to do it at age sixteen? That feels impossible. As fate would have it, Lila meets Payton Johnson on her first day at RHS who introduces her to Rachel, Kelly and Claire. The five become fast friends. The girls make it their mission to break Lila from her shyness and make Romeo feel like home. Oh, and they also recruit her to join their cheer team which isn't something Lila ever thought she'd feel confident enough to do. Then there's Tyler Johnson. He's the senior football captain, star quarterback and most popular guy in school who happens to also be Payton's older brother. Lila doesn't want to catch feelings for her new besties brother, but quickly realizes you can't really control who you crush on. It's not like Tyler would ever go for her anyways, when he's got so many other girls begging for his attention....or would he? If you're looking for a coming of age love story with strong female friendships, comic relief, overly protective brothers, self discovery, silly small town traditions and a slow burn....then look no further! #1 in "Cheerleader" August 2022 #1 in "Journal" November 2022 #1 in "First Kiss" May 2022 #1 in "Small Towns" May 2022 #8 in " Teen Fiction" June 2022 #2 in "Football" August 2022 #2 in "chick lit" August 2022 #1 in "Teen Romance" September 2022
