Latest Release: Freak of Nature
Kylie Emerson, eleven years old, finds herself stranded deep in the mountains of the Amazon rainforest, the sole survivor of a plane crash. She will need to use her extensive knowledge and experience of the rainforest to begin her journey back to civilization. Along the way Kylie discovers that, through a combination of native tribal magic and the storm that brought down her plane, she has been imbued with certain “powers”. When she comes across signs indicating her best friend, Manuel Alvarez, is also lost and in danger in the jungle, Kylie puts aside thoughts of her own rescue to save Manny. Reality as she knows it blurs when she finds herself in a sinister and inescapable portion of the jungle, the territory of a deadly creature of native legend, the Chullachaki. Here Kylie finds a pair of traveling companions and learns more about the fearsome Chullachaki, also known as “the Trickster”. With the help of her new friends, Kylie attempts to rescue Manny, encountering heart-stopping challenges at every turn. An unforgettable coming-of-age story filled with adventure, Freak of Nature is a magical and mythical work of fantasy.

HOA
Owning a nice house in an upscale neighborhood has long been a key component of the American Dream. Generally, these types of neighborhoods are managed by an HOA. A well-run HOA provides efficient management of everything from the neighborhood’s accounting to its aesthetic standards, providing many benefits and a higher standard of living to its residents. This is the story of a not-so-well-run HOA.
A new company, headed by a woman named Denise Graves, has been hired to manage the homeowner’s association for the lovely neighborhood of Sweetwater Cove in South Carolina. Families move to Sweetwater to enjoy the beautiful landscaping, superb amenities, and sense of community. In this neighborhood, weedy lawns and perpetually barking dogs are among the long list of strictly forbidden infractions of the covenants.
The residents of Sweetwater Cove are about to find out how severe the penalties can be for violations of the covenants. As paranoia and chaos overtake the community, turning neighbor against neighbor, a few individuals begin to wonder who, or what, is behind the madness.
