SISTER MOON

    Fourteen-year-old Nell thought camping out in the back seat of the family
    station wagon was as bad as it could get. Then Angel dragged her ass to
    the Branson Forks bus station.

    The only saving grace is that Frank is out of the picture. For now. Because
    they both know he’s coming after them. Not out of devotion or vengeance,
    but because he has his own warped ideas about family and love.

    Nell and Angel know what sort of criminal acts Frank’s capable of, but
    Frank doesn’t realize that one of them witnessed his latest crime, the kind
    that could send a person to the electric chair.

    Out of money, out of options, and with Angel crashed out on the bus station
    bench, Nell decides to take matters into her own hands. Somebody has to
    at least pretend to be an adult, for crying out loud.

    Angel has a sister, Sydney, that she hasn't seen or talked to since before
    Nell was born. So it sure is hell follows that Sydney doesn’t even know
    Nell exists.

    A situation that is about to change.

    MY EX-LIFE (working title, work in progress)

    Jake Carson is a freelance reporter who is in town for a brief layover
    between assignments. He has no desire whatsoever to reconnect with
    Kate, his ex-wife who lives in the three-story Victorian she was awarded in
    the divorce settlement.

    Kate Carson has possession of the house and custody of Isabella, her
    deceased sister's four-year-old daughter. When Kate's career as a writer
    of career how-to books begins to fizzle, she comes up with a brilliant idea
    for a new book, "The Job-hoppers Guide to the Galaxy." All she has to do is
    prove her theory that anyone can jump-start a new career with no training,
    using the advice in her book.

    Enter Stan Booker, the ex-cop who wants to be elected mayor. With no time
    or money to run a campaign, he enlists the inexperienced Kate to get him
    elected, creating the perfect opportunity for her to prove herself and get her
    career back on track.

    When Kate's ex (Jake) secretly takes up residence in Kate's attic, Jake
    becomes Isabella's new "imaginary friend." Operating undercover from the
    attic, Jake learns of Stan's stripper past, threatening to destroy his
    chances of being elected. Can Kate prevent her career and love life from
    being ex'd as well?
