new YA

I have a couple of contemporary fantasy/romances/retellings in the vein of Tris and Izzie up on www.smashwords.com if you're interested.

An Ideal Boyfriend is based on the Oscar Wilde play An Ideal Husband.

Trudy comes from a family without luck, but when she tests lucky, she leaves her home and enrolls in St. James Academy for Luck, an exclusive school largely for children of old luck families. Out of place, she nonetheless becomes the girlfriend of Rob Chiltern, Student Body President. Everything should be great in her life until Rob's ex Laura appears and tries to blackmail him.






The Gift of the Demons is a retelling of The Gift of the Magi.

When Fallin sees a friend being attacked by a demon he has made a bargain with in the school gym, she tries to save him. She uses her Tae Kwon Do skills and years of weight lifting and training, but her actions have little effect until an old man dressed as a janitor flings a special knife at the demon and she deflates like a balloon. Fallin becomes a demon fighter, but will she also fall in love?
