Then Jameson is suddenly everywhere, invading her life, school schedule, and dating her supervisor at the posh art gallery where she works. How can she survive her fresh start, when her high school bully is everywhere.The only thing that scared him about going to college was the crushing fear that he wouldn’t see Nyla anymore. So after graduation, Jameson applied to Roosevelt College, her school, to try to make sense of why he felt that way. Hoping it would only take a semester to understand his strange attraction and why he tormented her during high school, instead he realized that there was something more about Nyla, and something more to the way he felt. Now he must prove to her that she feels the same way about him.

Before she started her senior year of high school, Ellaree Dobbs figured it would pretty much go like every other year—cute boys, good grades, spending time with her over-the-top, boy-crazy cousin—with the added stress of picking a college. However, when said cousin brings up the recurring topic of her virginity, Ellaree’s thrown for a loop. Usually she can ignore Diane’s pushing and shoving on the subject, but this time she can’t let it go. Enter Lake Rosen, Ellaree’s oldest best friend, who just happens to be a mouth-wateringly attractive male and a player both on and off the soccer field. With his vast knowledge of what goes down in the bedroom, he’s the perfect choice to help Ellaree out.But when what was supposed to be one night together as a favor to a friend changes everything, Ellaree’s original idea for her senior year is suddenly a lost dream. Her life starts spiraling out of control, leaving her in a mess of confusion and chaos. And in the middle of it is Lake—the boy she’s known forever, the boy she’s falling hard for—solid as a rock (in more ways than one), making him a perfect place to find shelter.

SOMETHING GRAY is based on the true-life story of Colonel John Singleton Mosby, the legendary Gray Ghost of the Confederacy.A frail boy, and a magnet for bullies, Mosby is a loser. That is until Aaron Burton, family slave and friend, teaches him to ride, hunt, and most importantly, how to fight back. His philosophy changes Mosby’s life, and his view on slavery. Although his Virginia family had always owned slaves, John’s friendship with Absalom, Aaron’s only son, puts Mosby at odds with his father…and the antebellum South. A true rebel among rebels, Mosby never wanted Virginia to leave the Union, but when secession arrived, along with his friend William’s body, riddled by Yankee bullets, his decision came easy. No stranger to tyrants, the Confederacy’s poor chances suited Mosby, but this war meant Aaron could lose much more. Mosby enlists, and takes Aaron and his philosophy to war. Ever faithful, Aaron serves Mosby in a fight that seems black and white, but by 1865 it is SOMETHING GRAY. Despite his victories, Mosby knows the South cannot win unless the odds change. His gutsy exploits behind enemy lines inspires a bold plan to end the war in one swift move, but can he pull it off before Lee’s army is beaten? Originally written as a screenplay by Phillip T. Hopersberger, but now converted here into an e-book for those who asked to read the rest of this riveting Civil War saga (a sample was briefly available at www.TotallyWriteousCopy.com), SOMETHING GRAY takes us back to our bitter national divorce and like our country, reveals a man both convinced and conflicted."When you read the exploits of someone as audacious as Mosby, you can see it unfolding as a film...well, that's when you know that truth is really stranger than fiction and this should be made into a movie. Until then, we can watch it here on the written page."“In his much-anticipated new novel, XPOSURE, Phillip T. Hopersberger writes with the same vivid descriptions displayed in SOMETHING GRAY, but in a completely new direction. A supernatural thriller, XPOSURE will make you re-think what you knew you believed…and wish he hadn’t written something so close to our tomorrows.”

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
