  • While I'm Young...:

    Carlly O.

    (Independently published, Nov. 28, 2018)
    This is just a sample. A mere piece of me.Not neatly separated or categorized, this book was formed just as haphazardly as all of these pieces were written. In this book, you will find love, pain, hope, and all of the standard poem subjects. You don't have to like what I've written, you don't have to re-read any of this again. This was made to be a shared experience and hopefully, you take something from my small collection of experiences and it helps you along the way. The teens years are rough for everyone, no matter their background. During my teens, I found writing to be some type of great escape. In While I'm Young, my goal was to go back and relive those experiences and possibly share and inspire those who are curious enough to experience it for themselves.

It was tons of fun . . . and luckily for the boy (right?!), he slept through it all! Here’s a picture book that is sure to ring true in every family with more than one child. With minimal text and raucous illustrations, this laugh-out-loud, spot-on picture book is also a perfect portrait of a mischievous kid at her imaginative best.

  • While You Were Gone

    Amy K. Nichols

    eBook (Knopf Books for Young Readers, Aug. 4, 2015)
    An artist without a cause meets a rebel without a clue. Eevee is a promising young artist and the governor’s daughter in a city where censorship is everywhere and security is everything. When a fire devastates her exhibition—years in the making—her dreams of attending an elite art institute are dashed. She’s struggling to find inspiration when she meets Danny, a boy from a different world. Literally. Raised in a foster home, Danny has led a life full of hurt and hardship until a glitch in the universe changes everything. Suddenly Danny is living in a home he’s never seen, with parents who miraculously survived the car crash that should have killed them. It’s like he’s a new Danny. But this alternate self has secrets—ties to an underground anarchist group that have already landed him in hot water. When he starts to develop feelings for Eevee, he’s even more disturbed to learn that he might have started the fire that ruined her work. As Danny sifts through clues from his past and Eevee attempts to piece together her future, they uncover a secret that’s bigger than both of them. . . . And together, they must correct the breach between the worlds before it’s too late.
