It has been four years since the government captured and imprisoned Amy Westgate after she massacred her family one moonlit night. She has grown up inside the secret laboratory known as The Music Box, where she has existed in two small rooms: a bedroom for when she's human and a steel pen for when she isn't. At the age of sixteen, knowing almost no other life, she is content in her insular world. The team of researchers headed by cryptozoologist R.J. Blass have grown close after the attack on the facility that nearly killed them all. The Music Box is their world too and their old lives are just as forgotten as Amy's. But when the government orders an end to the project, loyalties will be tested and old wounds will resurface. [Rated PG13 - NOT FOR ALL AUDIENCES - Contains coarse language, scenes of violence, and scenes of mild sexuality and drug use.] Cover Design by David J.

In the near future, two teens are swept up in the battle for the internet. A fast-paced thriller about the consequences of the choices we make. Jonah Delacroix can't stand the real world - so he lives most of his life inside a global computer-based virtual world called the Metasphere, where everyone is represented by an avatar. When he discovers the avatar of his dead father, and assumes his online identity, he meets Samantha Kavanaugh, a deadly stranger fighting to keep the Metasphere free. Together, they race across the real world with a secret society to protect the freedom of all mankind. This is the first of a four books series that is published in paperback around the world by Hachette. If you like fast-paced thrillers like The Hunger Games, Ready Player One, and The Maze Runner, I think you'll love METAWARS. I'd really appreciate your feedback, and if you get pulled into Jonah & Sam's adventures, please find the sequels (there are 3!) in good bookshops or online, published by Hachette. Oh, and don't forget to vote!

Under the big top of Jensen Three Ring Circus, magical performances abound and tantalize the senses, but when the glitz and glory closes for the night, even the circus world cannot escape madness. Acrobat Kate the Great lives and breathes for the tightropes, the trapeze, the aerial hoops. In the air she is a free spirit with boundless joy, but on the ground, she’s a prisoner of unspeakable brutality. As her life spins out of control, a one night dance with the devil lands Kate in Rosenton Home for the Criminally Insane. It is here she is determined to make amends with her sins and to find a cure for her insanity. Her ward mates – a charming farm boy from Texas with a bewitching power to calm Kate, an older Mexican woman obsessed with beauty, a fourteen-year old girl who refuses to eat, a bizarrely upbeat young woman with her eyes on the farm boy, a giant with striking green eyes who lets no one in, and a sixteen-year old young man who shows no emotions beyond pure coldness – are the thin threads between her and becoming engulfed by unseen demons.
