  • Say Something

    Cathy Morrison

    eBook (Stories Matter Publishing, Oct. 2, 2019)
    Sometimes the most difficult choice is the only one you can make.Maggie knows the abuse she endured as a little girl isn't all that defines her. She's a strong student, varsity athlete, good person--but she's careful not to let anyone close. Because letting someone in means risking the truth, and the truth didn't work so well for her the first time.Now there's this great guy. He makes her think that maybe she could be normal. Maybe she could be happy.Just when life is looking good, the man who abused her barrels back into her life, and she discovers another little girl is in danger. She can continue to hide her past--or confront it and risk her hard-won happiness.This time the choice will be hers.* Abuse is not depicted in a graphic manner.Praise for Say Something"We need more great books like Say Something that speak truth to our youth...Stories matter. This is an important book for every teenager, every parent and every adult who cares about children." Kim Shirk, LPC"Sometimes it is very difficult for adults to understand the tribulations teenagers have to go through on a daily basis - sometimes more in the head than anything else. The author does a beautiful job describing the inner workings of Maggie. No matter the age, I feel like this is a must read. It allows young adults to become familiar and "woke" about the harsh realities of the world and how certain things can happen to anyone. It also allows adults to understand how teenagers think, which could lead to better relationships between the two generations. All in all, this novel is one of the best I have ever read and I am a book nerd. Sitting down and taking a day (and I do mean a day because you won't be able to put it down) to read Say Something is a choice you will not regret." Aubree, high school student"Cathy Morrison's young adult novel Say Something brings Maggie to life, a strong female protagonist whose voice rings true and speaks to today's times. Readers will quickly be drawn into this compelling, important story and race to the end, but the novel's powerful message will stay with them long after its last page." Lisa McWain, High School Teacher

  • 20 Something

    Kevin Patrick Kenealy

    eBook (AuthorHouse, July 23, 2010)
    The 20s is a strange age to be in the early 21st century. While it's very liberating to be young and have this feeling of independence, there is this conflict that we have to age fast and many of us are still fighting for that independence - many of us don't have enough money to stand on our own two feet like the generation before us. It's a transition age that's between the "best years of your life" (high school) and the entry into adulthood. So this addresses what it's like for me to grow up in this time period and go through these experiences.

  • Something

    Shelby Lamb

    Paperback (Independently published, Dec. 31, 2018)
    "I will find true love and everything will be okay. I will find true love and everything will be okay..." she chanted. They say be careful what you read. Something is wrong. Something is very wrong. It can happen to anyone. This is just four teenagers' story. Aubrey Golding hates her face, her body, and is devastated after Nathan Silva leaves her. Alone and desperate for love, she discovers a book called Something and unknowingly links others to a dark and terrifying curse that is beginning to consume her.Nathan is glad to be moving on with someone new and can hardly believe what is happening now. Wild child Bella Broadhurst, aspires a career in adult film and enjoys making fun of Aubrey, the "emo whore" when terror arises. And last but not least, Kendra Coke is just a new teen mother working on a delicate relationship as her world become utterly bizarre.All teenagers’ lives are interrupted at some point, right? But trouble begins with a capital T when Something gets thrown into the mix. As their day-to-day story unfolds in a series of increasingly dramatic events, shadowy entities hiding in their rooms are just the beginning of the true terror that awaits them.Touching harrowing real-life subjects, Something is a raw, often poetic narrative written in multiple perspectives. Primarily dark fantasy in nature, it takes teen angst and drama to whole new horror-driven level. Since 2017, it has captured adult readers of all ages and backgrounds. Wisteria 2 is set to be released March 2019.*Not suitable for those under 18.*"Extremely well-written and almost Gothic in nature, Something (Wisteria #1) is horror at its best. -Bestselling author N.N. Light"This isn't just another teen book. It dives deep into problems most people like to just skim over without a second thought." -K & J"I have never read anything like this book before, and I'm sure I won't read anything similar for a long time"-Wren Backstory:Some might think Aubrey Golding's character is too whiney and immature and that this book is too mature for coming of age. But I got to stay true. Not all 18-year-olds are into straight-laced stuff. Some have problems deeper than what is going on around them (read: mental health issues). More importantly, if you really look into the book you will see that Aubrey is suffering from what is known as borderline personality disorder.BPD is a severe mental illness and Aubrey wasn't created to glamorize this disorder. It is a very painful existence. In a lot of ways, Aubrey is me. Parts of this book reads almost like an addiction memoir of a very psychologically disturbed young lady. I wrote Aubrey for anyone else out there who goes through the same battles.I agree Aubrey's and even Bella's "Mean Girls" character can be triggering, as they are another layer to the horror and psychological roller coaster ride of this book. But in the end, if your heart makes it through the suspense, you will see how Aubrey gets through. I hope it will help anyone who is suffering the same. Having borderline personality disorder is no walk in the park. In the end, I wasn't writing for everyone. I wrote this suspenseful dark fantasy series for other girls and boys like me. I tried to find books out there with other characters like Aubrey, a fictional version of Elizabeth Wurtzel and Susanna Kaysen from Girl, Interrupted. But I couldn't.They all felt cookie cutter (to me) and like I couldn't relate. So warning, if you get offended by "dramatic" or "sensitive" girls seen as "weak" and not people actually suffering from an emotional disorder and STRONG to still be alive, then I'm sorry this book series (Wisteria) isn't for you.
