Synopsis: An orphan boy. A mysterious stranger. A city in crisis.
When 14-year-old Lance is saved from death, his life is forever changed. For starters, his savior claims to be King Arthur, the once and future ruler of ancient Britain. Lance has met lots of weirdos on the streets of L.A., and they claim to be many things. But this “king” not only reeks of sincerity, he wears armor, rides a gorgeous white horse, and lives in the storm drains underneath the city! Arthur has a throne, old-school clothes, and weapons up the wazoo. Swords, daggers, bows and arrows—the kind Lance has only seen in movies.
Turns out this Arthur guy wants to start some kind of revolution. He plans to collect other cast-off kids like Lance—even teen gang members—and create a New Camelot of Knights to gain more rights for youth and shake up the out-of-touch politicians who run Los Angeles.
Lance is all for helping kids like him. He’s spent his entire life in and out of the system, and it sucks. And he wants to believe in Arthur, but doubts even a king can accomplish such lofty goals. Despite these uncertainties, Lance readily accepts the position of First Knight—youth leader of Arthur’s new army—thereby setting in motion a crusade of tsunami proportions. When the children rise, will the city fall?

When nineteen year-old Luce receives an unexpected invitation from her late father’s partner, to visit the sea house at Arlington Bay, she has no idea what awaits her, or how her life is about to be turned upside down.

After a year-long road trip, Jake decides to join his sister at the sea house, unprepared for facing head on all the reasons he’s been running away since his father’s death.
Gabe just wants to find his way home.
For Gabe Summers, the remote beach at Arlington Bay is his favourite surf break, the place his family calls their second home, and where he met the only girl he’s ever loved. After living in London, Gabe’s world spins off its axis when he discovers that the girl who still haunts him has returned to Arlington Bay.
As past and present converge, old hurts, fears and memories rake up, and the ties of blood, love and loss that connect Luce, Jake and Gabe, will either keep them apart, or open the way to make changes in their lives, by realising what truly matters.

Synopsis: Toks has never considered herself as anyone special and her life is pretty ordinary for the most part. The only thing she cares about is moving out from home away her mother’s watchful eye and having a real life outside school.
As it is, she has just started graduate school under the tutelage of the eccentric, grumpy but brilliant scientist Professor Johnson as part of his research team which already consists of three other interesting, brilliant students and quickly gets to work creating a ‘miracle’ hair growth formula. However, just when Toks thinks she’s on the verge of a breakthrough with her hair formulation, Professor Johnson rejects her thesis proposal and wants her to catalog the metabolic characteristics of some bacterium instead, which is nothing more than pointless grunt work in Toks’s view. To make matters worse, this new assignment is also the most unpromising research project in his entire group. Professor Johnson has either gone nuts or is onto something.
But unknown to her and her fellow students, Professor Johnson is secretly working for the CIA to uncover a mysterious plot involving a dangerous group known as the Shango Triangle who have made it clear to the professor that they want his top secret research project for themselves and will do anything to get it. When the CIA’s plans to capture the master mind of the Shango Triangle go awry and the respected professor is unable to continue, Toks becomes an unwitting star in the conspiracy and it becomes a race against time to discover what the professor was involved with in order to save the lives of her family and friends. As Toks works to uncover the mystery, she finds herself in the middle of a plot that is an intoxicating concoction of espionage and secrecy. The only question now is, will Toks make it through the semester intact or will she be a casualty by association?

TENACIOUS YOUNG OUTCAST IN HOSTILE LAND …
DESPERATE FEDERATION AGENTS …
BATTLE OF WITS.
_____________________________________________________
After tuning one’s ear to the rhythm of the swamps, any stray noise got adrenaline flowing. The peace had shattered. They were coming for Regina Shen.
Perfect for fans of the Hunger Games, Divergent, and Maze Runner. Regina Shen: Vigilance is the second book in a science fiction thriller series with an ordinary yet strong young woman facing extraordinary hurdles with tenacity.
The World Federation condemned Regina and her family to live on the seaward side of barrier walls as outcasts. Those walls were built to hold back rising seas caused by abrupt climate change. For two years Regina struggled with guilt over failing to rescue her younger sister. Under a tough teacher, she trained hard, salvaged illegal books from the depths, and committed them to memory. Another storm bears down. It’s time for Regina to cross the barrier wall into the Federation to hunt for her sister. Is she ready?
The Federation operates with a rigid caste system and the notorious Department of Antiquities. They keep peace and order by destroying all evidence from before the Great Collapse. World fertility is plunging. Chief Inspector Joanne Demarco pursues Regina for unique DNA that could prevent human extinction and boost the inspector’s power base. Demarco has a ruthless rival who seeks to use Regina to overthrow the inspector. They both descend on Regina. She would rather die than help the people who kidnapped her sister.
Nothing goes according to plan for Regina. Pursued by agents, she becomes an illegal immigrant to the Federation, trying to avoid capture in a world suspicious of outsiders. As she gets closer to where the Federation holds her sister, Regina faces seemingly impossible obstacles. Guilt over failing her sister in the past urges her on. If she gets caught, Regina will be sent to an underground bio-lab never to see daylight, her family or friends again. When Regina thinks things can’t get worse, she learns that two rival inspectors are fighting to capture her and using her sister as bait.
Can Regina locate her sister and help her escape from an obvious trap without getting caught or killed?

"If you like action, suspense, and vivid characters, look no further." - Serena Wadhwa (Windy City Reviews)

FEDERAL UNION HUNTS BOYS ...
REBELLIOUS GIRL FOLLOWS CONSCIENCE ...
SHE'S DRAFTED TO OBEY ORDERS.
_____________________________________________________
Annabelle Scott tries to keep her rebellious thoughts to herself, avoid the draft, and protect her younger sister. The Federal Union forces her to be a police intern. She gets into trouble and is offered an impossible choice.
Perfect for fans of the Hunger Games, Divergent, and Maze Runner. The Rebel Within is the first book in a science fiction thriller series in which a young woman is drafted into the police and then into the elite military to enforce laws she believes are wrong.
A second American Civil War ended in a shaky stalemate dividing the country into the "civilized" Federal Union and the warlord-controlled mountainous Outland. Annabelle lost her biological parents to the conflict when she was little and was adopted by a member of the Union's political opposition. The loss of her parents and her adoptive mother's opposition lead Annabelle to be rebellious in a society that promotes conformity and punishes disobedience.
Annabelle has never met a boy. The only time she sees them is at a prison across from her school while she's in detention or when she escapes to the roof. A redhead has caught her attention, but boys are forbidden.
When the redheaded Morgan escapes prison, Annabelle feels compelled to help him and almost gets caught. Frustrated, she fights an amazon bully to protect her sister and is arrested. To avoid prison, which would take her from her family, Annabelle joins the dreaded Mechanized Warriors, tasked with capturing escaped boys.
If she fails the arduous military requirements, Annabelle risks death, imprisonment or being sent to the Outland as a slave. She also endangers her beloved sister and adoptive mom. Can Annabelle survive rigorous training under a tough commander, stay true to her conscience, and help Morgan without destroying herself and her family?

_____________________________________________________
Helping a boy escape may not have been Annabelle Scott’s smartest move. Her military commander assigns her an undercover mission to spy on local police and gives her audio implants and contact cameras to hear and watch everything she does.
Perfect for fans of the Hunger Games, Divergent, and Maze Runner. The Rebel Trap is the second book in a science fiction thriller series in which a young woman is drafted into the elite military to enforce laws she believes are wrong.
A second American Civil War ended in a shaky stalemate with the country divided into the “civilized” Federal Union and the warlord-controlled Outland. Annabelle lost her biological parents to the conflict when she was little and was adopted by a member of the Union’s political opposition. The loss of her parents and her adoptive mom’s opposition leads Annabelle to be rebellious in a society where conformity is everything and disobedience is punished.
Drafted into the elite military to capture escaped boys, she stayed true to her conscience by helping Morgan to escape, but there are consequences. He hacks her implants to plead for her help to rescue his brother from a heavily guarded geek institute. Suspected of helping Morgan and with her mom in the opposition, Annabelle risks getting the boy and his brother killed, her mom framed for treason, and her and her sister imprisoned, killed, or sent to the Outland as slaves.
Unable to get either her commander or Morgan out of her head, Annabelle can’t confide in anyone, which tears at her bond to her sister and mom. As a pawn in a bigger game, who and what can Annabelle trust, including whether her mission is the commander’s vendetta? Can she find a way to help Morgan and discover the link between an attempted assassination of her mom, the geek institute, and her corrupt police captain without leading Morgan into a trap or destroying herself and her family?

Geo is a rugged frontiersman who hungers to bust loose from the impoverished Outland glen where his rebel father hides him from the local warlord’s Rangers and the Federal Union’s Mechanized Warriors. The Federal Union took Annabelle’s biological parents when she was little and she was adopted by a member of the Union’s political opposition. Though drafted into the elite Mechs to hunt rebels and escaped boys, she has helped several to escape.
The Outland warlord and the Federal governor conclude a secret deal, pledging Annabelle to the warlord to provide heirs, and putting a bounty on Geo and his father. When Annabelle refuses, her people betray her to the warlord who kidnaps her and her beloved sister. Geo’s plans to break loose of his father’s control lead to the father’s death and Geo hunted as a rebel leader’s only son. Unable to locate her sister, Annabelle escapes the warlord, but is surrounded by his Rangers. Hunted by the warlord and with no help from the Mech Warriors, Annabelle connects with Geo as a last resort, but they are sworn enemies.

Geo is a rugged frontiersman who hungers to bust loose from the impoverished Outland glen where his rebel father hides him from the local warlord’s Rangers and the Federal Union’s Mechanized Warriors. The Federal Union took Annabelle’s biological parents when she was little and she was adopted by a member of the Union’s political opposition. Though drafted into the elite Mechs to hunt rebels and escaped boys, she has helped several to escape.
The Outland warlord and the Federal governor conclude a secret deal, pledging Annabelle to the warlord to provide heirs, and putting a bounty on Geo and his father. When Annabelle refuses, her people betray her to the warlord who kidnaps her and her beloved sister. Geo’s plans to break loose of his father’s control lead to the father’s death and Geo hunted as a rebel leader’s only son. Unable to locate her sister, Annabelle escapes the warlord, but is surrounded by his Rangers. Hunted by the warlord and with no help from the Mech Warriors, Annabelle connects with Geo as a last resort, but they are sworn enemies.
Can Geo and Annabelle overcome mutual distrust and work together to rescue her sister and gain justice for his father’s murder? Will their feelings for each other derail or further their goals?
