MY GOSSIP GIRL TRILOGY

Book One: Try Honesty

Who is the worst person you could ever try to pick up? How about your new English Teacher, the same teacher who can see through all your bs and knows just how you get your B's. That's the dilemma facing Chuck Bass. A dilemma that gets so much worse when the entire school learns of his failings. How far would he go to protect his reputation? Who will help him through once his lies spiral beyond even what he can control?

Excerpt

Without a goodbye, the blonde snapped the phone shut and tossed it into her purse.

“I wouldn’t dare stand you up.”

She turned his way and he was shocked a moment by the clarity of her eyes, a rich green that judged him critically. She took in the curve of his lips, the tilt of his chin, hesitating briefly at his eyes.

He knew that he had her there. “Another for the lady,” he called to the bartender and within moments another apple martini surfaced.

The woman pushed her hair distractedly from her face. She looked him from top to bottom, and then raised one eyebrow. “Shouldn’t you be delivering my newspaper or something?”

Chuck choked on his scotch, and before he could recover himself, his target downed her martini in a single sip and fled.

Book Two: You Can't Forget Your First: No Matter How Hard You Try

This story is three interwoven stories told from the point of view of the three Van der Bass children as they struggle through the return of Georgina Sparks. Eric meets the guy of his dreams, but will he be able to keep his sexuality a secret with Georgina on the prowl? Serena feels the pull of her old life. What will she chose: the outrageous and dangerous, or the predictable and comforting? Chuck is adjusting to his new position as King but when Georgina returns is she harbouring more than just revenge for the former playboy?

Excerpt

“I remember it differently. You told me that you loved me, and that you always would.”

“I was eleven years old and about to get laid for the first time. Even I didn’t believe what I was saying.”

Georgina was unfazed. “You’ve kept to it until now.”

Chuck shook his head in disbelief. Only Georgina’s deranged mind could warp his rampant womanizing into some twisted form of devotion.

Book Three: Grand Romantic Gestures (coming January 2009)

The end of senior year is approaching. The future beckons but where will our favourite six spend it and, more importantly, who will they spend it with? Who will stay on the straight and narrow and who will meander off the paths they were destined to? It is a time of turbulence and tragedy where some will find love and others questions. Friendships will be tested, families pulled to pieces, lovers found and lost but in the end everyone will discover one simple truth. Some people were meant to enter our life for a moment and draw from us a lesson, others were meant to take root forever.

Excerpt

"Well, well Queen B," Chuck stared down at her position on the steps, at the party of minions gathered around. Blair met his gaze and bettered it, her disgust only half feigned. "Taking advantage of half-drunk men. I thought you were better than that."

Blair's glare went darker as the girls around her started to gossip. "In case you've forgotten, my boyfriend doesn't drink."

"But I do," Chuck countered, his self-satisfied smirk growing in proportion to her outrage. "Last night, my suite..."

Blair could hear the gossip intensify and she snapped glares at her personal army. They stopped abruptly. Only then did she turn back to Chuck, wearing a smirk to match his. "You really need to stop fantasizing about me."

Chuck gave a curt nod and for a moment she thought he would desist. He didn't. He leaned down, face uncomfortably close. He put his lips to her ear and whispered the last for her only. "Fantasies don't leave five inch scars."
