Callie Stone has waited for this moment all her life. Like every citizen in the Collective Townships, she will go to the Future Memory Agency on her seventeenth birthday and open her mind to receive a memory from her future self. Callie hopes this future memory will give her the guidance she’s been looking for, because up until now, she’s had only one goal—to keep her sister, Jessamine, safe.
Eight-year-old Jessamine has a secret. She possesses the dangerous ability to see into the future, and if the wrong people find out, they’ll lock her up and experiment on her in their quest to understand the mechanics of future memory.
When Callie receives her future memory, however, she sees the unthinkable. A not-so-distant-future Callie plunges a needle into her sister's heart and kills her. Before she has a chance to grasp the full horror of her memory, she is told she will be arrested for murder—a murder she has not yet committed.
Logan, an old friend from school who hasn’t spoken to Callie in years, helps her escape into the wilderness. She’s grateful for his help and thrilled by his company, but she soon learns he has secrets of his own. She’s starting to fall for him, but she has more pressing concerns. On the run from her future as well as the agency, Callie must figure out how to protect Jessamine from the biggest threat of all—Callie herself.
Fit To Die
APRIL 2016 — ENTANGLED TEEN
On the planet Dion, food is scarce. When colonists arrived 100 years ago, they discovered the pods sent to terraform the planet had malfunctioned. Instead of a fully habitable world, they found only a small patch of land in which to live—and grow their food.
With only enough food to sustain a tenth of the colony, people began to starve. But a group of brave colonists stepped up to receive a genetic modification that would allow them to extract nutrition from food more efficiently. The nutrition could then be suctioned out of these people and distributed to others via a pill, and society was split into Eaters and Non-Eaters. Eaters get to enjoy as much food as they can consume—but it costs them years off their lives due to the damage done to their organs.
Princess Viola Keystone has a problem. Her father, the King, is dying, and only a transplant of healthy organs from a Non-Eater boy will save him. Viola is tasked with choosing a boy fit to die for the King, which is difficult enough. But then Carr Silver, the boy she's loved all of her life, emerges as the best candidate in the Fittest Trials. And he’s determined to win, because by doing so, he can save the life of his Non-Eater sister.
Unable to face the loss of the boy she loves, Viola bends the rules and cheats. But when someone begins to sabotage the Fittest Trials, Viola must reevaluate her own integrity—and learn what it truly means to be a ruler.
The Darkest Lie
JULY 2016 - KENSINGTON TEEN
High school senior Carlie Brooks knows how it feels to be the center of scandal. Six months ago, her mother committed suicide after being accused of having sex with a student. Now, all Carlie wants is to fly under the social radar and avoid anything associated with her mom—in particular, the school's crisis hotline where her mom rendezvoused with her underaged lover. But when Carlie refuses to turn in her self-examination journal, full of her highly personal feelings about her mom, she must volunteer at the hotline to bolster her failing grade.
Once there, Carlie learns her mother's death may not be as straightforward as it seemed. With the help of Sam Davidson, a student intern at the local newspaper, she uncovers a two-decades-old pornography ring preying on teen girls. In order to clear her mom's name and stop a sexual predator from striking again, Carlie must risk everything—the harsh judgment of her peers, her newfound relationship with Sam, and even her life.
