Young Adult short stories
I think we are all young at heart! I adore young adult stories, from romance to dystopian and everything in between. While YA fiction is not my primary genre, I do write in it from time to time. I hope you will enjoy the small sampling listed below!
Four teens, one viral video, unrequited love, and the quest to attend the biggest party of the year...
Let It Snow meets Can't Hardly Wait
Katie just wants one thing, well two things: to gain a coveted invitation to "Queen Bee" and local mean girl Jocelyn Moore's epic Winter Party and to go to that party with her crush, the popular volleyball player Olivia Brewster.
Except there's a problem, well two problems: one, Katie is a nobody at Westwood High School, and two, her mom just-so-happened to upload a recording of Katie after getting her wisdom teeth pulled just that morning, where Katie, all drugged up and drooling, slurred out her love for Olivia and her desire to go to Jocelyn's party, turning her into a viral joke at school.
Mortified, Katie thinks her social life is over, but the night holds a few unexpected surprises as she, her friends, and yes, Olivia, turn the evening into Winter's Perfect Night.
