Author has written 9 stories for Outsiders, and Four Brothers.

I just wanted to highlight a couple of communities that I'm a part of.

The first one is a community for Young Adult book reviews that is maintained by one of my bookstore employees: Michelle's Minions.

And the second one is a message board for Garrett Hedlund that I'm an admin for: Garrett Minds. If you want to participate, you just have to join.

I don't think I'm going to be able to finish Come Down From Your Fences, and I feel really bad about that. I've just lost the momentum I had with it and I can't seem to get it back. I can't write those guys the way they deserve to be written anymore. I did, however, write an epilogue a while ago and I posted the two chapters at the end of Fences.

Here's the chronological order of my Four Brothers stories, 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 ;)

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.
