Crowning Achievement

Cover by SF Varney

Julie Pike is out of her league—way out. She is more comfortable in ice hockey gear than high heels, but when her high school guidance counselor suggests beefing up her resume with something outside of sports, Julie figures the Miss Lauring Township Scholarship Pageant is the least objectionable option. However, when strange things start to happen, contestants begin to drop out. It’s clear that someone is trying to fix the outcome of the pageant—or worse, destroy it. As the numerous pranks escalate, Julie has to keep her eyes and ears open as she tries to figure out who is behind this and why. With the help of the extremely ambitious contestant, Lily, and her next-door neighbor, Mason, Julie begins to uncover secrets that have origins and consequences beyond the pageant spotlights.

I'll be reading from Because She Fell Asleep!

The Beginning

Technically, I was in elementary school the first time I had my fiction published. I wrote a story based on true events about my younger sister's back surgeries. It was titled Alicia's Alarm , and the short story was published in Guideposts for Kids Magazine. Though years have passed from that time to now, I have always enjoyed writing. I received a journalism degree from Rowan University, and I have spent a lot of time freelancing for newspapers. I've always loved fiction, though, and have pages of notes on novels I have been writing and intend on writing. I am now excited to have my first novel, Future Vision , being published through Metal Lunchbox Publishing. Future Vision is a young adult novel with a science fiction base and a romance plot sure to thrill pre-teen and teenage girls. Check back soon to learn more about Future Vision .

Back in the Swing of Things

Now that my daughter is six months old, I'm finally back to writing/editing on a daily basis. Be sure to check the "Events & Signings" tab for events to be posted in the near future. Also, check out my publisher's updated website !
