Y.A. Fiction
Life in the Underground really freakin’ sucks.
No freedom, no sunlight, and the whole place smells like armpit.
​
That's what life has been like for Sam and his little sister Ella for the past eight years, ever since the Draft took their parents. So pretty much hell. But at least they had each other.
​
Until they didn’t.
​
As if Underground life couldn’t get any worse, Ella mysteriously goes missing without a trace. Sam must now embark on a dangerous journey through the unknowns of the Underground to find her.
​
But will he find her before it’s too late?
Will a brother’s love be enough to save her?
A thrilling new dystopia that tests the bonds of family. For fans of The Maze Runner and The Hunger Games.
A modern Tangled Retelling
What if Rapunzel was trapped in a dangerous cult, and Flynn Ryder was trapped in the foster care system? How would they still find their way to each other and to the lives they dream of?
​
Zella has been faithful to the Program her entire life, never doubting Mother’s choice to keep her in isolation since birth. As the first “Child of the Lighthouse,” she’s always had a responsibility to be an example to the others—be grateful, be obedient. But after seventeen long years up in her lighthouse all alone, it’s getting a lot harder to push down her secret—and forbidden—dreams of living a normal life, no matter the risks she’s heard of. She secretly dreams of freedom.
​
Ryder can’t count the amount of “families” he’s had over the years. He’s been bounced around from home to home for as long as he can remember. That’s why he’s not exactly impressed by this new family’s fancy house, or the fancy new school they’ve enrolled him in. They’re putting on a friendly face, but they’ll show their true colors eventually. They always do. Luckily, he only has to make it a little while longer because soon he’ll be eighteen, and he’ll finally be free.
One whirlwind night changes everything for Zella and Ryder, as the two dreamers cross paths and open each other’s eyes to what true freedom could really look like.
​
A haunting but charming modern-day take on the Rapunzel story we all know and love.
A MODERN
FROZEN RETELLING
It's been ten years since 17-year-old Nikki Sinclair's family never returned. Her parents. Her sister. Just gone.
Evidence uncovered at the scene caused the police to rule it a triple homicide, but since their bodies were never found, the case ran cold and was never solved. Living in her family's giant lonely estate all this time, the sole heiress to the huge fortune they left behind, Nikki has come to accept that her family is really dead. Lizzy, her sister - her best friend - is gone forever.
Until she begins receiving mysterious messages from an unknown number claiming to be her dead sister. As the messages get more and more dire, begging for help and leading to hidden clues only Lizzy could have known about, Nikki begins to question everything. What actually happened to her family, and could her sister really be alive?
With no one else to turn to, she recruits the help of Kieran Bergstrom, the voice of her favorite true crime investigative podcast, Secrets in Ice, to solve her family's case. Even though he turns out to be much harder to work with than she expected, she is desperate for his help to find the truth. All Nikki knows is this: if there's a chance even as small as a snowflake that her sister could really be alive, she'll walk to the ends of the earth in a blizzard to look for her.
A story of a sister's love, seeking justice against all odds, and... not committing murder yourself on your very aggravating, very arrogant, and very blonde colleague - who may or may not have some secrets of his own.
Frozen meets A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.
