Paranormal Suspense. Every other day, Kali D'Angelo is a normal 16-year-old girl. But on the alternating days, she becomes something else entirely -- a super-powered being with an overwhelming urge to track and kill hellhounds, dragons, zombies, and other monsters. When, on one of her normal days, Kali recognizes a demon mark on a popular cheerleader at school, she saves the girl by transferring the mark to herself...which gains her a sort of internal hitchhiker/guide. Full of action, gore, suspense, and very dark secrets, this twisty blend of science fiction, urban fantasy, and horror is a genuine page-turner with a kick-butt heroine.

Fiction. Too bad 15-year-old Avery Pirzwick's newly developed super-powers didn't come with an "off" button. Unable to control his extraordinary strength, he's suddenly become quite destructive...but he hasn't yet told anyone that he can fly or why he keeps breaking things, so his exasperated parents send him to an alternative school. Meanwhile, a mysterious woman named Cherchette Morozov has guessed his secret and says that she wants to help him. But Avery's new school friends -- all of whom have their own secret powers -- suspect that Cherchette is up to no good. Snarkily (and hilariously) narrated by Avery, Dull Boy is a fun, wild read.

Science Fiction. Far into the future, the world is devastated by pollution, and the single walled city that remains is controlled entirely by the corrupt ChaoSonic corporation. The only hope for the downtrodden populace is the Deck, a secret organization that's sworn to take down ChaoSonic -- and whose best operative is a product of ChaoSonic's lab, genetically enhanced Agent Six of Hearts. But Agent Six has just been captured. Readers fond of the high-octane action and suspense in James Patterson's Maximum Ride books or Anthony Horowitz's Alex Rider series will be glued to this "rock-'em, sock-'em thrill ride" (Kirkus Reviews).

Paranormal Romance. Just before her parents died in a car accident, 17-year-old Emerson Cole began seeing ghosts, and now, four years later, she's desperate for relief.

When Emerson's older brother Thomas hires handsome Michael Weaver, a consultant from a shadowy organization called Hourglass, to help her, Emerson doesn't think it'll do any good. But she doesn't realize that Michael wants to help her use her gift, not get rid of it. Set in Emerson's small, Southern hometown and narrated in her saucy and memorable voice, this unusual novel mixes X-Men-style superhero action with steamy romance, time travel, and comedy.
