James, a 14 year old who's been in foster care since he was 5, has been through countless homes and has always been with the wrong crowd. None of his parents ever paid much attention to him so he fell in the world place at the wrong time. He's a misunderstood boy with a hidden passion for music. In his time alone, which is a lot of time, he plays his $40 cheap clarinet he paid for himself, in the park. His final home is with Greg and Nancy Harrison. Greg is the football coach who also teaches P.E. and Nancy is the kind Geometry teacher. Things change though when James comes along. Greg learns to love music and the band director at the school, Mr. William's, gives James a great musical opportunity. Hannah, girlfriend to the all popular jock and quarterback of the football team, and soon to be center snare with the all freshman drumline, sees the good in James, even if he can't. With the help of the music program at his school and bands like Metallica, Pierce the Veil, Sleeping with Sirens, and especially Hollywood Undead, he may be able to overcome the struggles of his life.

A musically talented teen with her sights set on the spotlight must find a way to get her life back when she falls in with the mob. ***** In a city where con artists make the rules and aspiring females wear sequins and dance with a pole, Melody Holiday refuses to ride on the coattails of her semi-famous grandfather. She wants the freedom to choose her own path to showbiz greatness. When a chance meeting with a handsome stranger provides Mel with an opportunity, she thinks she's landed the big one. But her grandpa isn't thrilled with the direction Mel's career is going, and it's not until she stumbles across something she probably shouldn't have that this becomes clear. Perhaps meeting the stranger with the Rocky Balboa eyes wasn't by chance. Maybe Mel is rubbing elbows with the kind of people who could take away her freedom for good. This story is loosely based on the author's feral youth. So, if you like your fiction shaken not stirred with a sprinkle of badboy on the rim, NEON GIRL delivers the goods; giving readers a dose of drama, a dash of romance, and a heaping helping of Las Vegas schmaltz. Oh, and there's a killer playlist, too. WATTYS WINNER! LEGAL DISCLAIMER: This is a work of fiction and owned by the author.

WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION. Love is a chemical reaction. When Jordan Hughes arrives at Pinecrest High School, Elliot Goldman's graduating year suddenly gets a lot more interesting. Smart, good looking and charming, Jordan isn't exactly the kind of person Elliot's used to having as a lab partner. But when they start acing their assignments, life is suddenly about more than boring lectures, bad cafeteria nachos, or relentless bullying, and for the first time ever, Elliot can't wait to get to chemistry class. As they start spending more time together outside of school, Elliot realizes he's never met anyone quite like Jordan. And then everything changes one night when Jordan kisses him, making Elliot question everything about their relationship and about himself. The butterflies start to make sense-the trouble is, right now, nothing else does. Love was the last thing on Elliot's mind. But as he begins to figure out how he really feels about Jordan, he realizes that sometimes the last thing you are looking for is the one thing you need the most.
