Chapter Twenty
The Road Less Taken
In the early light of dawn, Paivi could see the bridges across Lake Superior that would take them from Wisconsin to Minnesota. The clouds had cleared and it looked to be a sunny day. This was quite deceiving, as the air here was far

Chapter Nineteen
Escape Plan
Paivi wove Torsten through the maze of backyards and alleys, avoiding the main streets until they reached downtown St. Andrew. They needed to cross the river, unfortunately there were only three bridges across and each of them was extremely busy, being the only way over the Fox River for miles around. There was also no chance of hiding in much of the downtown area.

Paivi didn't remember much about the ride home. She spent the entire time sobbing into Jason's shoulder. He walked her up the steps to her front door. On the porch, they stopped for a moment. Both of them were at a loss for words.
"I'll call you tomorrow," Jason whispered into Paivi's ear as he pulled her into his arms. She nodded. He kissed her on the cheek and

Chapter Nine
Game On
Paivi's leg bounced anxiously through all of her classes, finally calming down when she arrived to Current Events. Only two more periods until basketball tryouts, not that she was worried. She was confident she'd easily make the freshman team.
She could hear the students whispering as she plopped down in her seat. Most of them hadn't watched the debate, which was bound

The Debate

This week I read another article in the St. Andrew Herald by Jerome Knowles. It was called "The Final Debate: It's too late for Senator Stevens." He writes that Moira Kelly has already won the election. According to the polls, Kelly leads Stevens 64% to 46%. Knowles says it means Kelly will definitely win because in

A Most Unwelcome Guest
Amanda's backyard was a little cozier than the front, what without all of the gravestones, fog, and scary leaf monsters. The night was very clear, which made the yard bright, despite the moon only being at half strength. Paivi and Michaela walked towards the fire. There were already some partygoers seated on the outdoor couches, extending marshmallow-laden

Winter Wonderland
Paivi returned to school the next day after the incident in Dr. Hasenpfeffer's class. She tried her best to do as her father had asked. She flipped through the EOS policy book, making sure she was following all of the rules correctly. She moved quickly and quietly through the halls, dragging Jason or Michaela by the arm. She didn't want to be late for

You Interview Me!
So this was your big chance! Ask me any question and I'll answer. Let's dive right in, shall we?
From Victoria Ikpoh Slone (via Facebook):
How did you decide to write in the YA genre? Do you see yourself writing adult fiction at some point?
When I started writing, I had just finished reading the final book in the Harry Potter series. Prior to the Harry Potter, I hadn't read YA much at all
