| Bio: | Current basics: I write MG and YA novels and will be published....:) Current works: SISTERS, SECRETS. Melanie's younger, adopted sister is pregnant and the baby's father is a man five years her senior. Mel's sworn to secrecy, but keeping the secret is causing tension and suspicion in her own budding relationship with her first boyfriend. If she tells, her sister will never forgive her and their parents might freak out; but if she doesn't, she might get dumped. What to do? HIDING UNDER THE BED. Sadie thinks she's going crazy since her mother is talking to her even though she's dead, telling Sadie to look under the bed. If Sadie ignores the voice, it doesn't go away and threatens to drive her insane; maybe if she listens to it, Mom will stop speaking to her and Dad will get better and start to talk. Other than her faux sanity, new Goth e-zine friends, and oboe-obsessed childhood pal, she's got nothing to lose by giving Mom's advice a try -- unless she loses Dad forever, too. 24 HOURS TO POPULARITY. When Jenna starts at her new junior high, all she wants is to hang with the kids who remind her of all her friends from back home, or else she'll be doomed to spend weekends with her annoying parents and spoiled little brother. Finally, she gets her chance when the Horseshoe Crew says she can join their group if she spends 24 hours straight in the junior high without getting caught and by following their rules. All she has to do is avoid the dragon-lady principal, the bully, and the escaped science lab snakes, while impressing her soon-to-be-friends. No problem at all.... THE ABSOLUTE LAWS OF LOVE AND LIFE. Neuroitc, over-achieving 15-year-old Aura Corner dumps her boyfriend Danny so she'll have more time to keep her 4.0 gpa. But when creepy Shifty Eyes turns up everywhere, and Aura's getting anonymous phone calls, text messages, and notes in her gym locker, she wonders if maybe she should've kept Danny around to protect her from this guy. No problem -- she'll just get him back despite his flirtations with her bff, the threat of Shifty Eyes, and her mom's at home massage business that is messing with her life. SOMETHING STRANGE ON STAFF ROAD. It's 1955 and the State insane asylums are crowded and desperate for doctors, offering free housing to doctors and their families. That's why 13-year-old Joanie's family moved into the Black House, down the street from the asylum. But it's the ghost in the woods and the girl in the hospital that bother Joanie more than having moved away from her old school. When she, her brother, and their new neighbors investigate, they find Anna, a girl as sane as they are but with the power of telekinesis, whose mother will do anything to rid her of the "crazy" power. Joanie must help Anna, even if it means defying her father and leaving them homeless, before they operate on Anna's brain and destroy the special girl she is. WIP: WHEN BETH CAME TO STAY.
