Jed Henderson is a Southern boy with little to no aspiration. He’s fine with working on his family’s farm from the day of his birth to the day he finally meets his maker, and he knows that that will most likely be the way his life’s story plays out. Even when Jed discovers his incredible talent for acrobatics, he doesn‘t sway from his mindset. He knows better than anyone else the life he was destined to live, and doesn’t expect anything more.
In contrast, Katia Betina has always been unsatisfied with her life. Ever since her family moved from Russia to America, Katia has felt out of place. She doesn't eat well, has refused to learn English, and is failing her classes in school. Now that she’s fifteen, things are looking even darker -- Katia’s family has lost their wealth, and the only thing Katia lives for -- the ballet lessons she has been taking since the age of two -- might be no more.
But when a man -- a beautiful, mysterious, ferocious man -- gives each a ticket to Dealen and Metzker’s Fantastical Street Circus and a promise of wonderful things to come, the temptation for both is just too much to resist.
And thus begin’s the fabulous life of The Tiger Prince and The Tigress. A life that is wonderful, but too good to be true. As Jed and Katia delve deeper into their strange new lives, they also uncover the secrets of their circus and ringmaster that should've been left untouched, and are catapulted into a mystery that only they can figure out.
That is, if they can survive long enough to solve it.

Star-crossed (The Dynasty: Book 1)
Orion Scatterstar X is a highly intelligent boy of seventeen with peculiar natural green hair and oddly bright purple eyes... and he's on the run with his mother. The only problem...? He has no idea as to why it is this way. His only clue is that it's all somehow related to his absentee father who is as big of a enigma to him as are the peculiar, mostly illegal and sometimes downright appalling and borderline psychotic 'lessons' his mother keeps subjecting him to. He hides in plain sight by pretending to be normal or average with a different name and appearance in every new place they move to within just a few months as per his mother's rules but as he's gotten older, he's come to think about it all to be nothing more than his mother's paranoia as it's significantly becomes harder and harder to play this game. So, at the verge of turning eighteen and graduating, he finally decides to put his foot down and run far away from all this craziness so that he can finally be free and be who he truly is and have a normal life... like he's always wished. But as the saying goes, 'be careful what you wish for.' He soon finds that his mother's paranoia was not unreasonable. When an unexpected stranger shows up as a substitute teacher at his new school, his entire existence flips upside-down. Truths about who and what he really is, are finally out but now he has to navigate a treacherous and dangerous path where friendship and loyalty are illusions, good is bad and up is down to save himself and everyone else as a prince's life is never simple, especially during war. Not to mention a war against his very own psychotic paternal family. Amidst deception, being constantly hunted and discovering immeasurable power within himself, holding on to his humanity seems harder and harder for his already shaky sense of morals, making him lose bits of himself in the process. Can he survive his new reality unscathed or will it be his undoing?Complete
Blue Belt
Matt was a track star like his brother, but everything changed following his Junior year of high school. His girlfriend Kris along with one of her friends were killed in a head on car accident involving a drunk driver. Even though Matt was in the car with them he somehow survived. After the accident nothing seems the same for Matt, and despite finishing out his senior year, his motivation to move forward is gone. Desperately in search of something new, Matt turns to a martial arts school that his best friend had recommended. Set in the beautiful beach town of Oceanside this first person narrative focuses on key experiences that Matt goes through during his first year of training. The novel takes the reader on a journey following him as he struggles with the demands of karate training, as he deals with new relationships surrounding him, and most importantly as he learns to live with the memories of the accident that while becoming more clear, still haunt and hold him back. The variety of people he meets as part of his training, some more eccentric than others, push him to try and answer the call; including the "beautiful" brown belt Cammie, who helps him try and fully face the memories of the accident. The idea is to showcase the world of hard core martial arts and integrate it into the challenges of overcoming serious trauma. It highlights how the power of being a part of a community in the fascinating world of martial arts can be surprising, challenging, yet transformative. With the advent of a series like "Cobra Kai" I believe there is interest in coming of age narratives that are set within the sometimes bizarre and mysterious world of martial arts. I personally love John Green's work and hopefully there is at least a taste of what he offers in terms of intensity and depth of character. The following "tags" I think would fit well in trying to describe the narrative : coming of age, drama, tragedy, karate, kata, fighting, romance, and recovery.Complete

As tension, anger, and unspoken feelings smolder between them, Elara and Sebastian are forced to confront the demons within and around them. When the fire ignites, will it destroy them-or forge a bond stronger than anything they imagined?
