(When a romance is this wrong, something's got to turn out...)
When a romance is this wrong, something's got to turn out right! Emily is a running star, a genius woodworker, and a sixteen-year-old with a major problem. She's met this boy Cleve through her dad's secondhand bookshop and suddenly bells are ringing, the moon has new meaning, and she's dreaming about a magical night with Cleve at the Spring Fling. There's only one thing wrong with Emily's dream. Cleve is not in love with her, but with someone else. All their heart-to-heart talks and drives in his wonderful red convertible are just his way of pumping her for advice on how to go about asking the girl of his choice to the big dance. And his choice happens to be Emily's best friend - Amy. It soon looks like this one-way romance is headed for a dead end. Unless Emily can make her true feelings known to Cleve, and fast, it's bye-bye love and hello heartbreak. This quick, fun read will leave you smiling.

Libby was barely awake when her mother came into her room with the shattering news that the boy Libby dated the night before had been murdered. The police were trying to figure out who killed Tony, and why. Libby promised to inform Detective Clark of any suspicious incidents - like the stranger who muttered a threat to Tony shortly before he died. And there was Libby's best friend, Pam, who seemed to know something, but she wouldn't talk. There was also Matt, a new boy at school - a rough, tough, troublemaker with a softer side that Libby found very attractive. She wanted to believe he didn't have anything to do with Tony's death, but he was giving Libby mixed messages that left her feeling confused and frightened.

(Sarah Sinclair was the perfect victim - she wanted to die...)
Sarah Sinclair was the perfect victim - she wanted to die. When a darkly enigmatic man approaches her in the small antiquarian book store where she works, Sarah is drawn into a slow dance toward death. A death she couldn't stop even if she wanted to. She is stalked, yet blindly charmed. And when he kills her, seductively, silently, she smiles. Sarah's ex-husband, police officer Robert Sinclair, is the first to find her body and he calls it in to the one officer who will understand: his ex-mistress Detective Lane Frank. As Lane struggles to follow the increasingly elusive trail of clues, another macabre trail emerges - of bodies, coldly, tauntingly abandoned.

(Forget what you've been taught about Emily Dickinson, dis...)
Forget what you've been taught about Emily Dickinson, discard the myth that has been passed down through the years, and step into Emily's real life. Although this is a work of fiction, it is told in the first-person as if it were an autobiography and contains a mix of both known facts and informed speculation. The story begins on Emily's death bed as she looks back on her life. You will not find here that fictional phantom-in-white slipping around corners and hiding behind screens, avoiding the world.

(Rocky Eden is a concert pianist who's too depressed to pe...)
Rocky Eden is a concert pianist who's too depressed to perform, and for good reason. His young daughter lies in a coma, on life support - while his seemingly-aloof wife holds a secret that affects her ability to express her love. That's when a sexy young woman named Destiny Muse enters Rocky's life, determined to cure his depression and get him back into performing his music. But Rocky wants more from Destiny. He wants her to show him how to save his marriage. Is this a recipe for love or a recipe for disaster? Sheet Music is a fable about modern relationships. It is not a formulaic romance, nor is it erotica, but due to some frankly-sexual content, it is intended only for adult readers.
