Author has written 21 stories for Outsiders, Four Brothers, Death Sentence, Tron, and Avengers.

Here's the chronological order of my Four Brothers stories, but they don't necessarily need to be read in order:

Sucker Punch

Jack is eleven and has only been with the Mercer's for a couple of weeks. This takes place right after the flashback that is in chapter 11 of Write Your Own Song.

Song For Your Heart

This story was inspired by Chapter 6 of WYOS and Jack remembering that he had a plan for running away when he first moved in with Evelyn. Jack is twelve in this story.

This Magic Moment

Completely silly story. Jack is twelve and Angel is eighteen and getting ready for the prom.

Gonna Be a Rock N' Roll Star

Jack is thirteen and starts an awkward friendship with a girl in his class. If you haven't read it yet, I suggest reading it after you read the first chapter of Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk.

Trick or Treat

Just a fun story set during Halloween. Jack is thirteen and some of my original characters from Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk make an appearance.

Write Your Own Song

The main story, fixing what the movie got wrong ;)

Down the Road and Back Again

A one shot that focuses on Jack's friendship with my original character Steve (he appears in Cigarettes and Trick or Treat). Starts right after Jack is shot and features several flashbacks.

It Must Be Christmas Time

It's Christmas and Jack is stuck in the hospital and Bobby is feeling guilty, not that he would ever admit to that.

Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk

Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk is actually a mix of flashbacks and current time. It takes place one year after Write Your Own Song, but the first flashback takes place a couple of weeks before Gonna Be a Rock N' Roll Star. Yes, I felt the need to make things super complicated, lol.

Smoke Screens

Jack and Kathy have been together for a year and Jack is having nightmares where he keeps losing Kathy.

Breathe In, Breathe Out

Another Jack and Kathy one shot, this time Jack worries that the demons of his past could hurt his chances for a happy future.
