"A hard-hitting third novel that swings between incredibly painful low moments and hard-won victories." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) Angie is broken--by her can't-be-bothered mother, by her high-school tormenters, and by being the only one who thinks her varsity-athlete-turned-war-hero sister is still alive. Having failed to kill herself--in front of a gym full of kids--Angie's back at high school just trying to make it through each day. That is, until the arrival of KC Romance, a girl who knows too well that the package doesn't always match what's inside. With an offbeat sensibility and mean girls to rival a horror classic, this darkly comic anti-romantic romance will appeal to anyone who likes entertaining and meaningful fiction.
Arts coordinator Angie knew what she wanted in life and attempted to paint the picture-perfect version: setting up home with Brent, her partner of two years, in his family's beautiful rural home and raising babies between its walls.But a secret from Brent's past coupled with the cold reception Angie receives from the townsfolk when she moves in with Brent cause those pristine images to blur and run. Relationships require compromise but how much is Angie willing to sacrifice before losing herself altogether?Will she fight to stop the images of her ideal life from dissolving or strive to become a more genuine version of herself and redraw her future on a blank canvas? Even though the road back to our authentic selves seems an uphill climb, the view from the top is glorious.
A compelling coming-of-age story set in the Sixties... It's 1966. Mini-skirts are in. Beatlemania is in full swing. And Angie Finley is starting high school with frosted hair and contacts, ready to find a boyfriend. But her dad's in Vietnam as young men burn their draft cards. School integration turns ugly as a black classmate is bullied. Her mom pushes her to be a cheerleader while women demand to be taken seriously. And a pushy antiwar activist in her class is driving her crazy. But a handsome quarterback thinks her new look is perfect. And he wants to do a lot more than just make out. Set against a backdrop of the tumultuous 1960s, "A Daffodil for Angie" is a vivid coming-of-age story about a teenager grappling with what kind of person she wants to be. Should she trust the adults who sent her father to Vietnam? Should she try to do something about attacks on the first black student in her class? Should she let her sexy boyfriend score a touchdown? The 1960s comes alive as Angie tries to make sense of the social upheaval around her, while struggling to keep a lid on her raging hormones.
In the enchanting world of the Tinker Academy, Tinkers must learn to harness the mystical powers of their crystals, with each Tinker possessing a unique crystal, they must use their crystal to manifest and create magical affirmations to inspire humans to believe in themselves and the transformative power of positive thinking. But their mission faces a terrifying threat in the form of Opal Obsidian As the battle between light and darkness intensifies, Angie and her new friends must race against time to stop Opal in his tracks.

"What's up?" I asked sitting down on his worn leather couch. "I honestly don't know. The Sargent downstairs said he got a call from a Doctor Miller over at Nemein Pharmaceutical and Research Company. According to the guy, their CEO is being murdered." I shook my head. "Being murdered?" "That's what he said. Something about a doctor being poisoned and is dying." "Did they tell him to call 911?" "Several times but he kept insisting we should send someone over to talk to them before it was too late." "Captain, that makes no sense. If they know he is being murdered, why aren't they doing something besides calling us? Why not get him to a hospital or just call a damned ambulance?" "All good questions, but no answers. I want the two of you to head over and find out what this is all about," he said. Angie and Dan find that they are assigned to a homicide before the victim is even dead. It isn't if he is going to die but when. The new CEO of Nemein Pharmaceutical is poisoned with Alpha radiation before he even has a chance to take over the reins of the company. Suspicion falls on the other candidates for the CEO position but then they are being murdered as well. Angie and Dan are running flat out to determine if it is the work of one of the candidates or someone from outside the company trying to lower the stock value of the company through adverse publicity. In a tangled web of deceit, greed, and a grab for power, the case progresses, challenging Angie and Dan to figure out who the killer or killers are.

THE EVA JENNINGS FILES: Previously released as The Alpha Ladies SeriesOur best friend's stories continue with horse rancher, Angie Sodero, searching for her stolen horses with the clinic veterinarian...the one that ditched her on their date. She wants nothing to do with him, but would not turn down his help when it comes to her horses. ---For three years I have dealt with the loss of my beloved father, the loss of the father of my twins before they were born, and bringing my small premature sons home. My siblings were forcing me to sell our family ranch and my twin's grandparents were suing for custody. With the help of my best friends Eva and Della, I made it through; my sons are happy and healthy and I am slowly getting my performance horse business moving forward. Then I receive a phone call from the most unlikely of people alerting me to the fact three of my horses were stolen. We race together in a desperate search to find them before they disappear forever. Book 6 Excerpt: "I'm sorry to call so early, but I had to double-check.""Double-check what?""Did you sell Pappy?""Of course not," I shook my head in disbelief. What a stupid question."Angie, I have a horse here that I know is Pappy. He has the scar down the back of his leg from the accident last year.""Travis..." I sighed in irritation."Angie, I've checked all the photos in his file and online at his old competition photos. The brand is the same. The horse in my clinic is Pappy," He said vehemently."I left Pappy, Zypher, and Bella in the lower corral last night.""Just a second," he said. As I walked to the barn, my phone alerted me to a message. "I just sent you a picture of the horse.""Fine," I put the phone on speaker then checked the message. I stopped in my tracks as an image of Pappy in the clinic stall appeared. My stomach ached. "What the hell is he doing there?""I knew it was him. There is a family here that brought him in for a vet check.""What?" I gasped."They said they bought him this morning and were bringing him in to get checked before they took him to Seattle."I ran to my truck. "They stole him.""They showed me the bill of sale.""I would never sell Hank's horse " I started the engine and hit the gas pedal and flew out of the driveway with a quick glance at the twins standing with a startled Drake."I didn't think you would.""It'll take me a minute to get to the corral to check on the other two." My heart raced at the thought of my Bella being stolen. This couldn't really be happening. I held my breath as I crested the hill and it released in an angry growl when I saw the empty corrals."Son of a bitch " Tears rose and my skin tingled. "Do they have Bella and Zypher?""No, just Pappy.""Call the police, I'm on my way there."
Broke. Broken-hearted. Bored. (Not necessarily in that order.) WELCOME TO NEW YORK CITY. Angie James is lost. A regular poster girl for Generation Screwed, being 22 isn't what she expected. What happens when having fun isn't, you know, fun? In the Brooklyn townhouse she shares with her best friends, Angie wants to figure out what to do with her life. But wild parties, bad dates, dead-end jobs, demanding fashionistas and even true love just keep getting in the way... Who knew adulthood would be so damn grown-up?
We first meet Angie Rubio at age five, being scolded by her kindergarten teacher for not knowing how to skip properly. Set in California in the 1960s and '70s, Guided Tours in Living Color takes Angie year by year from kindergarten through high school, offering a portrait of the artist as a shy, awkward Mexican-American girl. Taking place against the backdrop of the Cold War and civil rights eras--the Cuban missile crisis, the Watts riots, Beatlemania, the Black Power salute at the 1968 Olympics--Guided Tours in Living Color also surveys the milestones of American girlhood. We see Brownies, slumber parties, training bras, cheerleader tryouts, and proms through the eyes of a "brown, skinny, and bespectacled" Latina who soon learns that pageant winners as well as high school cheerleaders are always white. Angie is relegated to the fringes of the popular cliques at school, led by opinionated girls whose self-confidence seems as unattainable to her as their perfect teeth and blonde hair. But Angie resists internalizing societal messages about who is beautiful, important, and valid. When a white classmate is cast as Juliet in the school play, she can't resist taunting Angie with "Don't forget who the heroine of this play is," to which Angie replies: "She dies in the end." In "the unfun funhouse that was high school," Angie decides to reinvent herself. Reminding herself to "be bold, be heard, be provocative," she writes articles for the student newspaper raising critical questions about venerable institutions like homecoming, prom, and the tradition of naming students "most likely to succeed," "best looking," and so forth. Guided Tours in Living Color traces Angie's formation as a writer, from the child who loves Scrabble and jots down new words she learns in a notebook to the teenager publishing controversial opinions about success and belonging, a person whose voice is now "loud-enough-to-be-heard."
