For recent law school grad Charlotte Maxwell, real life has never been so good. On a post-graduation vacation with her best friend, the last thing Charlie is thinking about is meeting anyone: all she's looking to do is eat, drink, and get some sun (although not necessarily in that order). After three stressful years of focusing on school, Charlie's long overdue for some relaxation and she intends on maximizing every moment of this trip...by doing absolutely nothing. What she doesn't expect on her perfect vacation is to meet the perfect guy. Alex is smart, funny, and handsome. Despite their different backgrounds - Charlie is from a Midwestern middle class family while Alex is a wealthy Brit - their chemistry is undeniable. Charlie's not exactly the vacation fling kind of girl, but figures she can make an exception in Alex's case. But is Alex really too good to be true? What if the only souvenir Charlie brings back from her vacation is a broken heart? xoxo Steph

A pre-NaNoWriMo novel. Vampires have been done, so this will be modern-day werewolves. It's a seat-of-the-pants experiment, unplotted. I'm envisioning it being YA lit, sort of like the popular YA dystopian novels/films of late but without the dystopia, it's present-day. With a bit of mystery, a bit of violence, teenage drama, coming-of-age angst, a pack of teenagers, a few adults with varying senses of responsibility, longing for superherodom (is that a word?), a smidge of romance, the potential for retribution, and... I'm not sure, since I'm not plotting. You get what you get, and when you get it!
