About Everlasting Charli: Illustrated (Past Life Library):

“Does true love actually exist?” Charli Page loves her life as a waitress amongst the misfits in the jiggery-jaggery, poetry-laced fish restaurant in the heart of Hallowishes. Even though the owner, Alp, is a foul-tempered, sun-wrinkled fisherman with a flair for firing people, Charli is devoted to him and loves her job. She is so happy that she never wants things to change and even goes out of her way to ensure everything stays the same. Until a mysterious, old pirate hell bent on saving the world’s oceans returns to town, bringing her superbly crafted submarine and wild ideas of how to save the world with her. Charli never imagines that this ocean of a woman will turn all of their lives upside down and change just about everything she holds dear in the name, or guise, of true love.

About World of Shawn:

This is the story of a lonely kid who develops a computer game, using what little of quantum physics that he has read, that renders game levels from maps of any format; the result is just a little too realistic. When he tries to combine this “World of Shawn” with a favorite game of his childhood, “World of One,” he soon finds Worlds colliding, to the detriment of his friends. Shawn must step up and rectify things, rescue the princess and save the World. The interaction and constant dialogue between the characters in this story, as well as the humor and action intertwined, have drawn comparison to that in such works as “The Lord of the Rings,” “Harry Potter,” and “Narnia,” so if a reader has an interest in any of those, as well as an interest in video games, either in the past or the present, it would be a safe bet that they would enjoy getting to know Shawn and his World! — “Your Hero” (Book Excerpt) I watch you from afar, You don’t know who I am, But I care for you, And would die to defend you. You are my Princess, And I am here to save you. I am Always, Your Hero — “The One” (Bonus Material) When no one else is around, you are the one who listens. When all is darkness, you are the one who turns on the lights. When the evil in this world seems to have overcome the good and all that was once true is utterly gone, You are the one who keeps me going just one more day. You are the one that holds back the tide. You are the One. — These are songs that helped me in the development of “World of Shawn” and songs that help recall scenes and elements from Shawn’s World, in chronological order. These would also be awesome for a WoS movie soundtrack, if a movie was ever produced! More will be added as I recall them: 1. Live For The Night – Krewella 2. Surrounded – BT+Aqualung 3. Atmosphere – Kaskade 4. Another Night Another Dream – La Bouche 5. Wake Me Up – Avicii+Aloe Blacc 6. Creep – Radiohead 7. Tidal Wave – Sub Focus+Alpines 8.

About An Otherwise Perfect Plan: A Novel of Mystery, Love, and of Chocolate That Defies Description:

An Otherwise Perfect Plan is a laugh out loud YA Novel, narrated by the quirky Gwen Pendergrass, a sophomore in high school, who infuses this contemporary coming-of-age story with sarcasm, hyperbole, and wild flights of fancy—including a paleolithic “Shark Tank” with the builders of Stonehenge—all as she tries to make sense of her life with a single mom working two soul-crushing jobs, dysfunctional high school teachers, and her own wild emotions which seem to have a mind of their own.

Her riffs on life, modern society, and the virtues of several kinds of chocolate take us on a journey of discovery as she and her best friend Peter unravel the mystery of who her father actually was, along with the mysteries of her own emotions, ultimately reminding us that the journey very often IS the destination.

—————————————————————————————————–

It had always been just Gwen and her Mom, and Gwen had always been mostly fine with that. Until, that is, she learned how much her mom had given up in order to raise her alone. When a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity comes along for her mom to reinvent herself and get her life back on the track she’s been on prior to Gwen’s unplanned birth, Gwen becomes determined to find her father and give back to her Mom the life she’d always planned for herself.

With nothing more than a Las Vegas photo-booth film strip of her Mom and the guy she’s always been told was her dad to go on, she finds help in the most unlikely of places, a bored private detective whose office is a Jewish Delicatessen, a Vice Principal whose secret Demotivational Poster features a Star Wars Storm Trouper sitting dejected in a bar with the title FAILURE: Those were the droids you were looking for, and of course, her best friend Peter, who introduces her to the novel idea of sending a postcard.

At times poignant, heartbreaking and joyously absurd, Gwen’s story is ultimately about a young woman trying to understand her past, her present, and how it and the people in it will all fit together in the future she’s creating.

About When Wishes Bleed:

“Spellbinding and bewitching, When Wishes Bleed is the perfect mix of magic, danger, death, and love.” – #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Jennifer L. Armentrout
One Prince. One Witch. One Fate.
The upheaval in my life began the moment a prince stumbled into my house and asked me to read his fortune. Any other night, I might have made an excuse to get him to leave, but this was no normal visit. My fingers prickled to touch him. So, I granted his request by handing him a single wishbone. When he snapped it, the wish … bled.
Hearing me suck in a shocked breath, he asked what it meant. Such an ominous omen could only mean one thing: his death was imminent. Fate revealed that he wouldn’t die of natural causes. Someone wanted him dead. Stunned by the revelation, the man I now knew as Prince Tauren disappeared into a night I feared he wouldn’t survive.
The following day, I received an invitation to the castle. While it seemed the prince believed I could intervene and uncover who was plotting his death, his motives didn’t stop there. I was being summoned to join twelve other women in vying for the opportunity to be his wife and future queen. Going could mean jeopardizing my plans to reclaim my heritage and resurrect the House of Fate. But staying would guarantee Tauren’s death, and the blood of his wish would be on my hands.
When Wishes Bleed is a young adult fantasy romance perfect for fans of Adrienne Young, Cora Carmack and Kiera Cass.
