Can she change? Should she change? Reviews for WEMBLY: "Gayle Siebert has achieved the nearly impossible in WEMBLY. She's made a book about teen angst a lot of fun to read. Lisa loves horses, doesn't care about makeup, hair, or what's cool to wear, and, therefore, she's a misfit. She suffers a crushing betrayal by her best friend, gets bullied physically and verbally by the "popular kids," and survives the death of a loved one, but makes her way through with humor and grace. I recommend this book to any high school student, popular or not; to the parents of high schoolers--there's a lot to be learned here; and to anyone who enjoys a good read that's honest and rings true. I laughed a lot " - Patricia Parker, author of ABODE "Lots of tears but lots of laughter too. A very intriguing story. Looking forward to the next one in the series." - Genevieve Mckay, author of THE DEFINING GRAVITY series.

A tempting mission could connect Kathy with her birth father...or get her killed. When a decades-old packet of letters surfaces, Kathy Klein discovers her father wasn't who she thought he was, and he may still be alive. Although she recognizes it's probably a hopeless quest, she has no choice but to act. She sets out for a remote area of northwestern British Columbia to find her biological family. There, Kathy meets Astrid Ingebritson. They have a lot in common: Kathy escaped a murderous cult, and Astrid fell prey to a "gentleman's club" with a very dark history. Both the cult and the club have been wiped out so asking a few questions can't hurt, or so they think. But there are those who will stop at nothing, not even murder, to keep Kathy from learning the truth. When the quest takes Kathy and Astrid up Bear Mountain, are they delivering themselves into the hands of the serial killers?※ ※ ※Amazon Review of The Pillerton Secret: "There is evil, love, and emotion.
