Middle Grade
UNTITLED WIP. The cats of Sourwood Village have gone missing, and that's a problem, because Cat Studies is required for Linnet's witchlet program through the local Witchversity. What's a budding witch to do?
Young Adult
UNTITLED WIP. Jocelyn, a lifeguard at a scout camp, gets more than she bargained for when at least two of her fellow camp counselors fall in love with her... and she saves one of them from drowning during his mile swim. But it's hard to avoid your coworkers in a camp of 400 boys--not only is there always somewhere to be, but there's always someone to see. Will she pick one of them or neither, or will the love triangle get even more complicated?
