The Mockingjay Died: The Fourth Quarter Quell
When the laws of the Hunger Games were laid out, they dictated that every twenty-five years the anniversary would be marked by a Quarter Quell. It would call for a glorified version of the Games to make the fresh the memory of those killed by the districts' rebellion. Now we honor our fourth Quarter Quell. On the one hundredth anniversary, as a reminder to the rebels that the Dark Days only served to tear their families apart, each district will be required to send two sets of siblings. The new government that came with the rebellion Katniss started has been overthrown. President Snow's granddaughter is ruling Panem now, and she has proven to be more ruthless than he ever was. Katniss and Peeta were publicly executed after the Capitol took over again, and District 13 was completely obliterated. Since then, the Hunger Games have been harsher than ever. This Quarter Quell promises to be the worst Games since the rebellion. This story is being entered in the 2015 Wattys! Comment and vote and read please!Complete

Dependence - Book Two (Wattys 2013 Finalist)
‘’ Ladies and gentlemen of Panem, for the Pageant of the one hundred and twenty fifth annual Hunger Games, or the fifth Quarter Quell, we have a special treat in store. Here in Panem, we are all depending on something, the Capitol depends on the twelve districts for goods, the districts depend on the Capitol for food and protection but also, the districts depend on each other. To highlight the fact that the districts of Panem are so dependent on each other, the tributes in this year’s Hunger Games will be randomly paired with one another. The pairs will be connected via a new Capitol invention that will mean when one of them dies, so does the other. This will mean that the pairs will have to protect each other, because their lives are in their partner’s hands and vice versa. As you may be wondering how this will affect the final outcome, I am very excited to announce that for the first time ever in Hunger Games history, two tributes will be able to win! Yes, you heard me correct. There will be two victors! You will all hear more about this after the Reapings have commenced, until then, I bid you all adieu. The one hundred and fiftieth annual Hunger Games has officially begun!’’Complete
The Ballot and the Blade: A Hunger Games Novel
In the aftermath of the Dark Days, Panem prepares for a historic milestone-the 25th annual Hunger Games. President Coriolanus Snow unveils the first Quarter Quell twist: instead of the random lottery of the Reaping, each district must vote to select their tributes. This, he declares, is a stark reminder to the districts that their children now die by their own hands, a consequence of their choice to initiate violence during the rebellion. For the chosen tributes, the betrayal cuts deeper than any arena weapon. In District 1, golden-boy Atlas Sterling discovers his family's political enemies orchestrated his selection. In District 3, terminally ill Clara Watts is voted in as a "mercy" by her community. From the strategic selection of Career districts to the political revenge driving outer district votes, twenty-four children face the ultimate betrayal-condemnation by those they called neighbors. As they enter the first purpose-built arena with its pioneering Cornucopia, these tributes carry unique psychological wounds. Some fight to prove their districts wrong, others for revenge against the communities that rejected them, while a few struggle to understand why they were sacrificed. Behind the scenes, a younger President Snow and aging Dr. Gaul watch their grand experiment unfold, testing how this new psychological torture transforms the Games. As new alliances form and unexpected skills emerge, the Capitol watches closely, ever ready to manipulate events and ensure that even the most unpredictable elements serve their ultimate agenda of control. In a competition where everyone has already been betrayed, who can be trusted? And in a Games where your own district chose your death, who are you really fighting for? May the odds be ever in your favor.Complete
