Alan Macklin has started his first year at university and he’s saying goodbye to his old life: no more curfews and parental interference, no more high school courses he doesn’t want to take; and, most importantly, no more striking out with girls. At least that’s the plan. But the world of university dating is more complicated than he ever could have imagined. Even his devoutly religious roommate seems to have more luck than him. His ex-girlfriend Maggie still gives him advice, but it seems that no matter what, Alan can only get so far with a girl.

Then one day, Cristal's home is turned into a pile of rubble and dust five metres high.But a chance offer saves her family.

16 year old Ivy has made up her mind. Dealing with life after the death of her Grandparents and having to live with her psycho mother, is no life at all. She decides that running away is better than going into foster care, and takes off to live alone at Granddad’s isolated cabin, deep in the forests of Oregon. Getting there wasn’t the scary part, nor was being alone. What was scary was the discovery of her Grandma’s journals hidden in the cabin, along with her own true identity and the secrets concealed in the hemlock forest. Unsure which of her new friends to trust, Ivy is thrown head first into a life changing adventure and must decide if she has what it takes to embrace her destiny. Not your normal, run of the mill book. Run, Run, Run Away is enchanting, unexpected and provides a thrilling new twist in fantasy writing. The fey in the story are unique, the druids and sprites are fascinating -- and Ivy's interactions with them are typical of how a teenager would react.
