Matt Star had money, power, and influence...the triple threat combination that would make anyone a formidable threat. Please note: This three-book series was originally published in July 2015. It is now only available in this boxed set form. However, it is my first book/series, it is unedited, and I don't consider my earlier work to be an accurate reflection of my most recent work. Lizzie Winter is just three short months away from graduation when the unthinkable happens. A prank gone wrong by the football team takes a devastating turn and changes her life forever. Just when things can't get any worse, Matt Star decides to up the ante and throw blackmail and manipulation into the mix. To complicate matters, Lizzie starts developing feelings for Matt's best friend, Brandon Rivers. Brandon suspects something's off with Lizzie and Matt's relationship, but Lizzie is sworn to secrecy. The only way she can protect Brandon, and everyone else she cares about is to continue lying. Will Brandon be able to figure out what Matt is doing to Lizzie, and save her before its too late? Or will Lizzie be forced to do everything she can in order to save Brandon from Matt's sick, psychopathic ways? *Trigger Warning* This book is not suitable for readers under 18. This book contains elements of emotional, sexual, and physical cruelty. Any readers with sensitivity to the above topics should proceed with caution, and at their own risk.

Kaleem has found his father and soon finds the love of his life, Rozia Laurence, but he is still not comfortable with his role as Peace Child. He also has to face some of the less palatable truths about his home planet: it is blighted by the existence of the Z Zone, a place where poorer people live outside of society, and by switch-off, compulsory euthanasia for a healthy but aging population, including his mentor, Razjosh.He has his work cut out for him and is helped by the love of his life, Rozia. However, her life is also put into danger. Meanwhile, the mystery of the Babel Tower persists. Is the prophecy something mystical or just something convenient for everyone to hang ideas onto?The Peace Child trilogy is a young adult coming of age story set in a dystopian future where good old fashioned magic and modern artificial intelligence make even more complex the social issues that Kaleem faces as he reaches out to those others call aliens. Each story within the trilogy has its own arc but a bigger story forms as you read all three. A fourth is on its way. See below. Interview with the Author So, what makes the Peace Child series special?I’ve been told that it’s great for getting girls interested in Science Fiction. It also has many of the characteristics of the normal young adult novel – above anything else it is a bildungsroman, a story of growth, a story about how Kaleem finds his identity. It also deals with some topics that are important to everyone: nationalism versus globalism, an aging population, monetary crisis and politics that make you despair. What order should I read the books in? Each book is a complete story on its own and contains a glossary of terms that may be useful if you don’t read them in order. So, we have: • The Prophecy• Babel• The Tower• The fourth has no title yet. At the time of posting I'm 20,000 words into the first draft. I hope to publish in early 2018. Kaleem is facing a political situation that is very similar to the one we are facing in 2017 on Earth. It strays into the area of New Adult. Possibly you are growing up with Kaleem. So why should I give these books a try?You’ll fall in love with Kaleem and / or Rozia, the girl he falls in love with. They behave just as you’d expect young adults to. All three novels contain the pace, tension and emotional closeness we’d expect in a young adult novel. In book four they gain some maturity. Do you have any other books for young adults? I most certainly do. Why not pop over to my author page and check them out? Thanks for reading.The Babel Tower still haunts him, but it begins to make sense as he uncovers more of the truth about his past and how it is connected with the problems in the Z Zone.Kaleem knows he can and must make a difference, but at what personal cost?

Kaleem Malkendy is different – and on Terrestra, different is no way to be. Everything about Kaleem marks him out form the rest: the blond hair and dark skin, the uncomfortable cave where he lives and the fact that he doesn’t know his father. He’s used to unwelcome attention, but even so he’d feel better if some strange old man didn’t keep following him around. That man introduces himself and begins to explain the Babel Prophecy – and everything in Kaleem’s life changes forever. The Prophecy is a young adult coming of age story set in a dystopian future where good old fashioned magic and modern artificial intelligence make even more complex the social issues that Kaleem faces as he reaches out to those others call aliens.Interview with the Author So, what make the Peace Child series special?I’ve been told that it’s great for getting girls interested in Science Fiction.
