In the game of life, Claire Jameson isn't so great of a player. Battling college stress, abusive father, addict mother, and the big bad boss called her little sisters custody war hasn't been so successful. The last thing Claire needs is guy trouble. But life loves to throw curve balls, and it throws Claire a game changer when she stumbles across a letter proposing for the reader to embark on its own little game. At first doubtful and reluctant, eventually curiosity and the need for some type of escape wins out and she’s thrown into a scavenger hunt like no other. A few insane dares, a couple dashes of public embarrassment, and a pinch of strange encounters later, Claire’s got a recipe for adventure and a mad obsession to find the mysterious Gamemaster who created it all and get answers as to why. The higher she advances the closer Claire is to finishing the game, and just maybe she’ll gain the abilities she needs to win her other battles as she levels up. But before it all, Claire Jameson must first ask the questions, “Does she dare to play?”

But, if you treat me like a queen, that's a different story."Complete
Dinners With The Dog
Callie Jackson is used to family drama. She spent a fair amount of her childhood dining with only her dog, Hambone, while her parents "talked" behind closed doors. With the ink barely dry from her parent's divorce papers, Callie was presented with a new half-sibling, courtesy of her Father's one night stand. This event scandalized her small Indiana town so much that she still gets funny looks from grocery store clerks, even though her little sister is now eight. Now Dad has a new girlfriend, whose daughter is Callie's age and just so happens to rule the school in a dictatorship-like style. Throw her Mom's new boyfriend, a lawyer-who-enjoys-golfing, and his semi-awkward son into the mix, and Callie definitely has a full plate. Despite everything, Callie loves her family, even the members she doesn't share DNA with. But with this much history, there's bound to be secrets. And Callie has a pretty sizable one of her own: she runs one of the most popular and aptly titled blogs on the Internet, Dinners with the Dog. She ends every post with "Anonymous xx," keeping her identity secret from the world. When her Dad starts displaying some shady behavior, and the stress of keeping quiet about her blog starts getting to Callie, she must decide whether she wants to keep her family close and the secrets closer, or if she's willing to gamble with honesty and risk losing it all.Complete
