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?

Serpent in Shackles
Book 1 in a series! Despite what Emrys has been told, her Kingdom Abneer was not the only one to survive, King Reyes is not the only monarch, and monsters are real. Previously a soldier for the King, now betrothed to his son, Prince Roan, Emrys Ortega is starting to feel the burden of the title she never wanted. After repeatedly sneaking out of the palace leads to a sinister threat from the King, Emrys begins to worry for her family's safety. So when she learns that one of her kingdom's soldiers has been kidnapped by the Queen of another Kingdom, Valoria, she sees this as her opportunity to redeem herself in the King's eyes and protect her family. The only problem is that she had no idea the Kingdom of Valoria even existed. In fact, the Kingdom is unlike her own. It's filled with the same monsters from the stories she had been told-monsters of the night. In order to rescue the soldier, Emrys must team up with the notorious monster, the Shadow Knight, and his team of mercenaries. Through their missions and encounters with the monsters, Emrys not only learns the true extent of the lies she had been fed, but that the King has something planned, far bigger than she ever imagined, and finally realizes that her true enemies may not be the monsters after all.

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. Editing is finished. Have a howl and enjoy the storyConcluida

There is something about the stories, and the Light House itself that attracts Abbie even before she finds out a secret, hiding in it.
