4 Days

I entered the Writer's Digest Short Short Story Contest. Winners are supposed to be notified by Feb. 14. I have a feeling that once again I didn't make the top 25! But if I didn't I will see if I feel my story needs edits and submit elsewhere.

No Turning Back-- e-book and paperback

Ash is a runaway with a schedule, and her plans don’t include Dayna and Kevin, two kids who barge into her hideout. The hideout just happens to be their house, but that’s not Ash’s problem. She ditches Dayna and Kevin fast, but their bruises and screams draw her back. Maybe if Ash helps them, they’ll help her in return.

The Divide:Uprising (Book One) -- publication scheduled for Jan. 2013

Serenity Blackwater lives in a normal Midwestern town called Mapleville, but she is not normal. During Civil War 2, The Family Protection Movement established The Divide: all gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people are now banned to live in walled Gay Communities throughout the nation. Serenity only has a few months left before she must take The Normal Verification Test and be separated from her family forever. She must find out how join the secret rebellion and end The Divide before it's too late, while also not getting caught by the government, her parents, best friend, and even her girlfriend.
