The first book in 'The Watcher Series', begins the story of Ben, Valentina, and Jaime who seem like your typical high school Juniors living in a sleepy little New Hampshire town. But when Valentina discovers she is the unwitting pawn in an ancient game she never knew existed, the three of them must face the most difficult decisions they've ever had to make. Ben and Jaime must choose whether to alter the courses they have long been ordained to follow, or risk everyone and everything to change what they were born to be, while Valentina must face the fact that the two boys, and even her own self, are not what she's always believed them to be.***“The human mind can’t comprehend how dark and bitter its days can become. It’s a survival instinct. You roll your eyes at the scroungy man holding the placard reading The End Is Near, maybe you worry ever so slightly at Mayan calendar predictions, fret over global warming in an absent, uninvolved way, so that when it really happens, when everything really does fold in on itself you’re left stunned and unprepared. You’re left standing in the blotted out wasteland of what’s left of the world, crying about the unfairness of it all and wondering how this has happened to you. That’s humanity for you. Self-imposed blindness is its survival mechanism,” he says, solemnly. “But dark horrible things happen to people everyday. And you’d be a fool to believe they couldn’t happen to you as well.” Valentina can’t help but roll her eyes at his over the top declaration. “So we should just spend our entire lives hiding under the covers?” He flashes his big endearing smile as he wraps an arm around her and yanks the blanket over their heads. And in the end she wasn’t prepared. No one was. He’d been right, but then again he always was. And why wouldn’t he be? After all it’d been him that had orchestrated it all.

Perfect Strangers Every day, she sits at the top of the stairs leading to the beach. Always writing in her little notebook. Always watching. Watching the loving big brother, so caring and attentive to his little sister. Watching the handsome lifeguard with his golden tan. But no matter how closely she watches, she can't begin to know the secrets behind the perfect facades of their lives. And they can't begin to know the truth about the strange, sad girl who each day sits alone -- and watches.
