Jarold, aka, Jazz, is a typical sixteen year old boy. He lives at home with his two remarkably un-divorced parents, his holier-than-thou sister, and his overbearing grandmother. It's a life straight out of a TV show. Or so it seem The truth is that Jazz's life is anything but picture perfect. He's seeing a shrink because his mom and dad found out he's gay; his schoolmates torment him every day; and he keeps bumping into his high school teacher at a local gay bar. To make matters worse, his best friend, Al, keeps pulling him into trouble. Jazz knows he has to keep everything together, at least through finals, so he can get away from this life once and for all. But, in his haste to leave everything behind, he comes to find out that the only thing he can't escape is himself. Witty, sardonic, and incredibly funny, My Side of the Story is the perfectly rendered portrait of a precocious, troubled teenager faced with the awkward process of growing up and coming out.

Have you ever looked at your precious but squirrely child in awe? Have you ever stood in awe of their innocence, in awe of their wonder, or in awe of their curiosity of seeing the world for the first time? Or have you ever just stood there and stared at their little face, just mesmerized by their beauty and adorableness, vowing to protect them from the world, including their future self? Have you ever had to correct your child out of love, and it really did hurt you more than them? Have you ever provided and sacrificed for them, so they would not go without? Of course, we have, and it is because that is God's nature to love, adore, protect, and provide for us""His children. Not only does He look at us in adoration and through the eyes of love, protection, and provision, but also, He went a step further. He gave us an inheritance. He left us a legacy to follow. He gave us His parental DNA to love, adore, protect, and provide for our children and for all His children all around the world.

Enter the fabulous, jeweled of the Born and find fantasy, adventure and romance. The author says of this exciting new series: "I am excited to introduce the reader to the Born world. The Penhollow Chronicles, features the Penhollows, a family from two of the Born races; the Soul Born and the Light Born. The first book in the series introduces Ruby Penhollow a ballerina who finds herself in the middle of the battle between good and evil. You will also meet Merrik Gates, an enticing rock star, who Ruby cannot seem to resist. Throughout book one you will meet characters that will follow over into book two of the series. Each story in this series will continue an ongoing storyline that develops with each book. I hope to introduce the readers to characters that they will love, hate, laugh and cry with. Throughout the series the readers will be introduced not only to new characters, races and powers, but they will also be re-introduced to characters they already know. With elements of suspense, romance and horror my goal is to peak the readers interest and keep them waiting for the next story."
