First book in the Against the Stars Trilogy
When Virginia "Ginny" Miller moved from England to the Americas in the 1775 she expected a fresh start. All she wanted to do was put her life in England behind her. But when she arrives at America, she never expects what she finds.
Arriving in America, Ginny is shocked to find that her only friend, Abigail Everhart, has abandoned her. Alone, in a strange new place, Ginny cannot help but wonder what is going to happen to her life.
When Ginny befriends Benjamin Eby, the son of the owner of the general store, her life finally takes a peak for the better. Along with another new friend, Celia Roser, Ginny begins to see all life has to offer.
But war with England is looming and lines are being drawn. Ben and Celia both are patriots well Ginny's parents are strict loyalists and disapprove of her friendship with Ben. And to make matters worse Celia, is from an English family turned patriot, something Ginny's parents are horrified by.
Desperate, her parents try to get her to befriend people like Lucy Winslow, or (heavens forbid) Bella Kersey, who come from "good English families". But it isn't till her parents start introducing "gentlemen" into the picture, that Ginny realizes how truly torn her heart is.
Ginny is stuck trying to figure out how to live life with all its up and downs. She feels as though her soul is being ripped in to. Should she follow her parents, and be loyal to the country she once called home; or should she become independent like the country her heart is rooted in?

The Bloodsworn
Book one in the Bloodsworn trilogy So here's how life used to go: We'd go to school, study, have fun, fight the occasional hunter or two, and mostly deal with everyday highschool drama. Just by looking at us, all you'd see is a great group of friends dealing with the everyday tortures of life. But maybe you should've looked a bit closer. I'm Luna Pines, and I'm the last werewolf. My whole life I've lived in secret from everybody except my friends. There are 8 of us in total, Alayna, Caroline, Timberly, Jackson, Nick, Hunter, and Jay. I don't know much about being what I am, nor how to control it very well. But the one thing that always bothered me was being alone, there's nothing I want more than to share my gift with someone else, someone just like me. So when Luke Masters shows up at school, with a shock to his touch, it seems like paradise for me. That is, until his brother's baggage makes my life, and my friends lives, hell. And here I am thinking I've got everything pretty much figured out about being a werewolf, but I have much to learn. With Vampires, Sylphs, Revenge, and Alpha powers coming to drive me insane, I'm not sure what's right and what's wrong anymore. My friends are slipping, I'm slipping, everything I've worked so hard to keep normal has gone away completely. I've lost my grip on reality, and I'm being forced into the world of the paranormal. And with every passing minute I'm growing bolder and stronger. I won't go down like this. Who would you die for? ======================================== This is my first EVER book! WARNING: This book will be going under some extreme editing since it is my first idea and I changed my mind a lot through the making. So I apologize if you read something that doesn't make sense.

Hunted Series - The R Rated Chapters
Adult Chapters: For story purposes, the chapters are written in the adult versions and then edited for PG-13. (This helps me understand where my characters are going.) But I am also uploading them here to be read freely as they come up. :) This is for the Prequel, Hunted & Hunter The appeareance of two injured, sick and panicked non-pack werewolves, known as mutts, in New York is usually not a cause for alarm. It's easily dealt with. But two female mutts, appearing out of no where, already months into their changes, this is a cause for alarm. There should only be two female werewolves in the world- Elena and her five year old daughter. So where have these two come from? Elizabeth, an Australian, is one of those new mutts, and running from her past is something she's keen on doing. Even her mind's in on denial- she remembers nothing since coming to America months back, except flashes of torture, torment, and her own stubborn will to survive when others haven't. Yet somehow she can trust the American werewolf pack, though she can't understand why, and allows them to offer her and her friend safety from those who would bring her back to pain, torture and to a man who still haunts her with the name 'Master'. He isn't the only man that haunts her though. Someone else in the pack seems to remember her too. Jeremy, the Alpha of the American werewolf pack, and Elena, the alpha-in-training, are brought face to face with a new Alpha, his pack and his attempt to claim America, kill off all the pack werewolves, and to capture Elena and her daughter for himself. Only with the assistance of 'Anne', as Elizabeth now calls herself, and Pav can they know where to start looking.Complete

Except there's one flaw to Rose's perfect life: she hates it.
