Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She’s determined for her rags to riches story to have a fairy tale happy ending. Krista Hassell might be a member of the poorest, least respected family in Crickley Creek, South Carolina, but she believes deep in her soul that character counts. She’s finally curated the perfect plan—and boyfriend—that, together, will save her societal standing and rewrite her future. That is, until a family tragedy strikes and her mother goes off the rails…again. If only Krista could show her community who she really is beyond her old, crumbling shack on the marsh, she could find the inner peace she yearns for. Army veteran Johnny Merrick came to Crickley Creek for a wedding and decided to extend his stay in the quaint town, renting the small house next door to Krista for the summer. As their friendship grows, Krista is forced to rethink the very relationships her plan needs to succeed—and yet it might be exactly what she needs to fully embrace what fills her soul most: the marsh she’s trying to escape. But only if she makes her move before the fireflies disappear for the season…

Book excerpt: “[Chertavian] demonstrates that with hard work and the right supports … young adults can overcome even the toughest of circumstances.”—Geoffrey Canada, president and CEO, Harlem Children’s Zone There are many good jobs in America—and many urban young adults eager to take them—if they can bridge the Opportunity Divide that strands many motivated workers at the bottom of the job ladder. In 2000, Gerald Chertavian, a successful technology entrepreneur and banker, dedicated his life and business expertise to founding Year Up, an intensive one-year program that provides otherwise stranded young adults with training, mentorship, internships, and ultimately real jobs. Following a single Year Up class from admission through graduation, A Year Up lets students share – in their own words- the challenges, failures, and personal successes they experience during the program. It is the inspiring story of a pioneering program that is bridging the Opportunity Divide, with results that can fuel our economy and revive the American ideal of equal opportunity for all.

So why is she still struggling to find acceptance within the Crickley Creek community? There’s a secret nestled among the plantation homes and Spanish moss-covered oaks—a truth her mother’s arch rival will do anything to hide. And if Charlotte doesn’t learn how to overcome the damage some well-placed gossip can do to her reputation, she might lose everything, including her rose-colored memories of her mother.

Book excerpt: "Fate? Free-will? When Aleria Hayes gets swept into the world of the Watchers, will it be the end of the world? This novel takes the vampire mythos to a whole new level…with a surprise twist that will blow you away.” ★★★★★ After breaking up with her boyfriend, seventeen-year-old Aleria “Ali” Hayes finally feels liberated. Unfortunately, her ex’s buddies are not making it easy on her. When his friends harass her one night, a mysterious stranger, Bowen, steps in to rescue her. But just as this new relationship seems to be taking off, Ali is attacked by something far worse than spiteful high school boys. When she awakes, her eyes are opened to a world where gods still walk the earth, where vampires and other immortals fight for supremacy—and where fate may be stronger than free will. Now, Ali must decide who she can trust, and whether the world of mortals is worth saving at all. About the Watcher Series This simple beginning evolves into an epic journey through the shadow world of vampires, fallen angels, and the Watchers. This series is great for anyone who loves the romance of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga, the world building of Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments Series, and the high stakes of Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games. When you get to book two, fasten your seatbelt, each book is faster, darker, and sexier. Interview with the Author Q: What inspired you to write The Watcher Series? A: It’s kind of embarrassing, but it was my coping mechanism after my life took an unexpected turn. In 1996 I called off my wedding (only six weeks before it happened—but don’t worry, I found my Prince Charming later). Consequently, I was in this weird emotional state. Writing became my refuge. I didn’t write the whole book then, but I did write several scenes, chose the character names, and laid out the blueprint for my novel. Q: What made you finish writing the first book? A: In late 2008, I went back to what I had written again and toyed around for a long time. But it wasn’t until a student saw my manuscript sitting on a table and asked if she could read it that things got real. I nervously let her, dying a little bit inside. Then, she did the most magical thing—she asked if she could take it home to finish reading. It spurred me on, and I've never looked back. Q: What were your influences? A: I graduated with my degree in English and have a deep love of mythology and literature. Works like Paradise Lost, The Book of Enoch, Dracula, and The Tempest were all influences. I also had a friend introduce me to the old, cult classic film, Highlander when I was in college. This, combined with The Book of Enoch, sparked my ideas for my Watchers. (No, it wasn’t Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This was before the show ever aired. But we did use a lot of the same source material). I love the niches of urban fantasy and paranormal romance, too. I wanted my books to be a journey for my characters where they will find romance along the way, along with twists, turns, action, thrills, and a dash of mystery and intrigue. The Unintended starts off a little slower because of world building, but by the time you get to The Nexus, be prepared for a rollercoaster ride. Q: In what order should we read them? A: If you want maximum suspense, this is my recommended order: The Unintended The Nexus >> Allure (the prequel) The Sacrifice The Fallen Part 1 The Fallen Part 2 >> Light and Shadow: Watcher Series Shorts & Extras (I recommend reading “The Price” after The Nexus. The alternate point of view will change everything).
