When the lines are drawn, will you risk your life to cross them for love?

In the Summer of 1988, tragedy hits home for Charlene Jacobson and her father when her little brother is killed playing a game of basketball in their Detroit housing projects.  She soon finds herself living in the small rural town of Millersville, Georgia, with her estranged grandmother. Millersville is a place where time stands still and the racial divide is as prevalent as the 1950s.  Secrets, lies, and betrayal lurk in every corner. Yet, through it all she finds solace in the arms of Ryan Quinn, a white senior track star and the son of the town Sherriff.

"My ascension to Hell is far from what you're after; the birth of the End of Days is hardly suited for the faint of heart. Even if it was my fate from a life before this one. No one teahes you how to trust yourself in times of uncertainty. Nor do they warn you about the power of your own vulnerability. The worst part is knowing too late that you're never whole until a vampire has consumed you into the absolute darkness."

When rockstar Adam Brand makes a racist remark during a drunken magazine interview, it becomes an international headline.  Within hours his PR Agent concocts the perfect plan to revive his rapidly sinking career before it’s too late, but will Adam be able to pull it off?

**** STEREO has been removed for editing, refining and if all goes according to plan, publishing! I couldn't have finished it without all my readers leaving their words and thoughts--even if I didn't always like them--so THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. <3

Emery Johnson has been crushing on her older brothers best friend for years, too bad in his eyes, she will only ever be recognized as 'Darrell's sister'. Ready to change that, Emery enlists the help of a single book to snare her dream man, but along the way someone else steps into the picture, shaking up the feelings that Emery thought were tightly secured and forever stable.

She despised celebrities, maybe even hated them. That was until she met him. 

Jayden made the biggest mistake of his life when he let the love of his life slip through his fingers.  Could he make it right and start anew?  Tamaeya had been burned by Jayden once and had no intentions of being burnt a second time, but it seemed that the heart had it's own mind.

Lana and Lucas have an arrangement. Something that works for the both of them. At least Lana thought it did.

Paris finds herself on a deserted highway out of gas.  Little did she know that her life would be forever changed after that.

College student Rory Daniels has a problem, and it isn’t how she’s going to pass her final exams.

You see, she can do this thing where she can manipulate objects… and other things, and as far as she knows she’s the only one who can. So when she’s forced to use her powers at a crowded bookstore and attracts the attention of a fellow student, she’s anything but happy about it. When it turns out the student has no interest in turning her over to the government and actually wants, of all things, a double date, she’s pleasantly surprised. That is, until her date ditches her for her friend and she ends up stuck with his.

His friend turns out to be Victor Ryken. He’s tall. Built like a Greek god and has a set of the most memorizing hazel eyes Rory’s ever seen. And, oh yeah, he does nothing but infuriate her. After the date from hell, Vic has for some reason taken an increased interest in her and what’s worse… her powers light up every time he touches her. When Vic’s around her abilities go haywire and his presence marks the beginning of a string of unusual events. Suddenly, she’s become a person of interest to nearly everyone she meets and strange people pop up in her life that have her question her own weirdness. When Vic himself displays a whole new level of weird while saving her from an attacker, Rory ends up concluding one thing. 

Maybe she’s not as alone as she thinks.

Formally Ashes, Ashes

Red flashing lights…

Heavy footsteps echoed through the deserted hallway.

Fire alarms blared...

Breaths lodged in throats as the search for survival worsened.

Pungent smell of death overwhelmed as the Z’s closed in...

Survival was futile now, running was the only escape; in this new apocalyptic post war world, living was no longer guaranteed.

He's the world's most famous supermodel.

She's the church singer whose hypocritical lifestyle has been unveiled by one simple picture with him.

A story of redemption, love and family.  

Formerly Fate and Coincidence (and by formerly I mean completely rewritten, my NaNoWriMo project)

A year abroad did nothing to help Cassandra Mitchell heal from the earth-shattering death of her on-again-off-again boyfriend. She did not think coming home to the familiarity of the Big City would do her much good either. But an encounter with Luke, be it a coincidence or destined by fate, on the flight home has her making more strides toward healing than any trip around the world ever could have. With the help of a new friend, Cassie finds herself again and perhaps something more.

Luke is a lawyer who spends too much time in the office; he's on the precipice of a big promotion. In every other way, Luke is a fairly laid-back person with a tendency to go with the flow. Running into Cassie presents an opportunity for Luke to get out of the office and experience life. However, his easy going demeanor may get him less than what he wants.

* Title subject to change
