WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION.

There are some friends you never forget.

It's the summer of 1955. For Ethan Harper, a biracial kid raised mostly by his white father, race has always been a distant conversation. When he's sent to spend the summer with his aunt and uncle in small-town Alabama, his blackness is suddenly front and center, and no one is shy about making it known he's not welcome there. Enter Juniper Jones. The town's resident oddball and free spirit, she's everything the townspeople  aren't-open, kind, and accepting. 
 
Armed with two bikes and an unlimited supply of root beer floats, Ethan and Juniper set out to find their place in a town that's bent on rejecting them. As Ethan is confronted for the first time by what it means to be black in America, Juniper tries to help him see the beauty in even the ugliest reality, and that even the darkest days can give rise to an invincible summer . . .

[Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner] The Redding takes you if it knows your name. That's the rule that's kept Meg alive --- or awake, rather --- since the night the world went to hell. Nobody knows where the red stuff came from, but it acts like water, it's in the water, and it falls as rain every night. The people it captures drop like puppets with their strings cut. They're asleep, not dead, and you can wake them if you say their name again. But then they just try to kill you. Meg and the other survivors she's befriended think they've found a stable equilibrium, six weeks after the catastrophe began. Nicknames become real names, and Meg knows she's getting better at identifying safe houses. Her crush discovers that Morse code, like writing, is a safe way to say a Sleeper's name. It's the night after learning it that Meg wakes up just as the nightly rain is starting. Raindrops, as it turns out, can make dots and dashes, too. The Redding can talk. And it's telling her to run. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner.

Falling Indefinitely

14 parts Ongoing

THOMAS is on a mission to find his kidnapped niece and teach the men who took her a lesson. It should've been easier said than done, but when his simple plan has a few hiccups along the way, he ends up in a town he has no business being in the first place. WILLOW and her children discover a man half bloodied stumbling on their land in the middle of the night and decide to take him in after knocking him out. Willow knows better than to take a complete stranger in - especially one who seems rough around the edges and doesn't talk much - but she's taken a liking to him. As feelings start to form, can Willow guard her heart against the hardened man who seems standoffish in nature, but loves hard? Or will she endure heartbreak as she watches him off to complete the task he had been assigned before ending up on her property?
