NEWBIE

The housing market is crashing, and Sophie’s life is crashing with it. 

At twenty-four, her successful real estate career evaporates. She’s broke, can’t find a job, or pay her bills, leaving Sophie wondering how her successful lifestyle became so fragile.

At the urging of her roommate, Sophie accepts a job in her fallback career—teaching six-year-olds. She hopes it’s temporary. After all, how long can a tanking economy last anyway? The best part of the new job is Liam, another employee at Rio Grande Elementary. The worst part of the new job is, well, teaching.

Sophie has a surprise real estate closing from a contract she wrote months ago, leading her to a niche in the real estate market and to a new partner, Kevin. Sophie must choose between Liam or Kevin and between a lucrative career or recess duty.

Lexi's Pathetic Fictional Love Life

Falling in love is easy in fiction--- in high school, not so much.

Lexi Middleton has been socially invisible to her classmates, but starting her junior year, that’s going to change.

First, she’s determined to hook a boyfriend, ensuring dates with flowers and possible kisses on the doorstep. 

Second, she wants to be a writer for the school paper, even though it freaks her out to think of everyone judging her by her punctuation and metaphors. 

High school is difficult enough—keeping up her grades, dealing with increasing sibling rivalry, and trying to stay out of the way of her personal nemesis, Amberlee—but when Lexi catches the eye of her long-time crush, she also becomes the focus of mean-girl tactics. 

Caught between who she was and who she wants to be, Lexi must decide how to confront a bully, and choose who to let into her heart.
