Everyone has their secrets. Some are just bigger than others...   Like hiding your supernatural powers from the rest of the world while trying to navigate high school.     Jonathan Taylor is the name on everyones lips. Usually for the wrong reasons. With magical powers and a rock band he's determined will make it big, he's never far from the spotlight. He just never factored in falling for his sisters best friend. Brooke is harbouring her own crush, all the while fighting back a bitter high school rivalry and an overprotective Italian family. For Rosie, she knows her biggest secret could prove deadly. But as boys and heartache cause her to sink deeper, it's only a matter of time until she's found out. And Will knows all about secrets. His own powers have a darkness to them that few have glimpsed. If they knew, no one would look at him the same way again...   For most teenagers high school is about survival. For these teenagers - every day is.     The Starstruck series is the story of a group of friends in Boston, Massachusetts, who are trying to figure out who they are. Whilst some of them have powers, and some are 'normals', all of them are mixed up in a battle for survival.   Join them as they try to unravel the secrets of the past, in the hopes it will save their future.   This is the first book in the Starstruck series and is roughly 97,000 words   The Startstruck saga deals with mature themes which some readers may find upsetting.

When the impossibly hot new quarterback ignores all the pretty cheerleaders competing for his attention to come over and sit at YOUR lunch table… what do you do?   I've always been the class dork—shy, bookish, not particularly pretty and definitely not popular. In other words, I've never been anybody important. Orphaned twice as a toddler, I'm not even sure who I am, other than a burden to my super-strict adoptive "aunt." But then the gorgeous new quarterback, Rigel, arrives at Jewel High and turns his back on all the popular girls vying for his attention to seek out ordinary me—of all people! I'm over the moon, of course, but the first time Rigel touches me, sparks fly—literally! Then weird things start happening. Suddenly, I no longer need my thick glasses. My complexion improves, too. When I demand to know what's going on, the answer both thrills and terrifies me. Not only is Rigel my bonded soulmate, apparently I'm not such a nobody after all! But my unexpected status comes with huge risks that threaten both my life and our newfound love.

The uncrowned queen of Cambridge, everyone wants to be seen with Becca, and she appears to milk it for all it is worth. But on this night, fate takes a hand. Even though for Mia, such unpredictable things don't exist. Unable to cope with what happens between them, she walks away. They will not meet again for five years. One year ago, and back on her carefully-planned life-schedule, Mia buys her first home, blissfully unaware the house already has six tenants living there in secret.

Now, she's looking after the entire planet.   After an incident with a hot-air balloon causes college-dropout Sally Webber to lose her job, she sets off to find direction in her life. Crashing into a teleporting alien, however, is not on her to-do list.  Now she's on the run from TV-drama-loving aliens, and things are just getting started. Zander won't stop reeling her into life-or-death situations to save her planet, as he waits for his laser-wielding sister to search the universe for him. Though Sally isn't quite sure if he wants to save Earth from annihilation, or just quell his curiosity of all things human. Now she's got to find lost alien emissaries, as well as a job, and stop the planet from getting incinerated in the process. But with Zander as her roommate, what could possibly go wrong?

If being reunited with the woman she'd always loved but never realised wasn't unexpected enough, discovering six little people who'd lived secretly in her house longer than she had was a double-whammy of a shock to the system. All in the same weekend! So at the conclusion of Episode One, she'd smiled ironically to herself and mentally torn the Haines Ten Year Plan into minute pieces. But for now at least, life is settling into a surreal kind of normality. Becca's demons are fading away, and plans for the foreseeable future are being made. It's not going to last. Three days before Christmas, a demon of a completely different kind rears her beautiful, dangerous head. And when Becca disappears, the Voyagers are all too aware they're the ones responsible. A heartbreaking decision has to be made, but even that may not be enough to save her life...   * Starstruck does contain scenes of a sexual nature.   Enjoy!

Sally has no choice but to try to stop them herself--if she can stay alive that long.

But when sabotage and murder show the crew's true colors, Zander and Blayde are forced to stay and help them out of their mess. Lies, drama, and deceit lead them light years away to a mysterious planet on the edge of the galaxy, where the crew must band together just to stay alive. Which would be much easier if they didn't have to deal with a diva first-mate, a droid with a religious obsession, and Blayde's Ex whose brain is a spaceship. Finding Earth has to be put on the back burner, as Sally's stuck tending alien boo-boos – and she still has no idea what she's doing. And she might not live long enough to get off the planet in one piece.

We're going where??   Kira's life in Nuath is getting better and better. She's a rising star on a prestigious sports team and the guy she's been crushing on has just started to notice her. When her parents announce they're all moving to technologically backward Earth for the good of their underground Martian colony, Kira is aghast—and furious. The last thing she wants to do is leave Mars to "blend in" with inferior Terrans. Worse, once there she'll be expected to make nice with the new Sovereign, a girl no more fit to rule their people than Kira herself. When Kira is offered a chance to undermine Sovereign Emileia, she leaps at it. During the past year, the life Sean O'Gara eagerly anticipated has crashed and burned. He was excited to move to Jewel, Indiana. Excited to take his place as the destined Royal Consort of Princess Emileia, a girl he'd fantasized about for years. But nothing turned out the way he expected. Emileia already had a boyfriend and no matter how hard he tries, Sean can't deny those two share a special bond—a bond that benefits their people. A bond he can't share. Sean's once-bright dreams turn to dust, leaving him nothing to hope for…until a new girl from Mars comes to town. To Kira, Sean represents everything she's always resented about the ruling class—even if he is awfully cute. And the more Sean learns about Kira's political views, the more he suspects she's a threat to their people—no matter how strongly he's attracted to her. Are their differences too great to overcome, or can they transcend them to discover a future beyond anything either imagined?   The much-anticipated continuation of the electrifying Starstruck series, where teen romance blends with science fiction to open a whole new world of action, adventure and discovery! 

Home is where the heart is. Or maybe the pizza. There's no better feeling than being back home after a long week exploring the galaxy, though being abandoned by one's friends and left to fend off a glitching evil robot spoils it. All that's left is to settle back into life, preparing Marcy's wedding and job hunting. If only mysterious midnight SWAT teams and crop-circle crafting-sessions weren't constantly getting in Sally's way. When an old foe returns, and Sally is the only person on the planet to recognize it, it's up to her, her sullen ex, and an overly-excitable FBI agent to save the planet. But first they have to get the president safely out of his favorite sushi bar without starting the war of the worlds. It's hard maintaining a long-distance relationship when your crush is light years away and thinks you died of old age, but that hasn't stopped anyone yet. Sally must save the planet, the universe, and herself - though maybe she'll take a nap first.

Change is never easy. Sometimes it's downright dangerous.  Over the past year, M and Rigel have averted various threats: to their relationship, to M's people and to both Mars and Earth. M's aunt now knows the truth about her origins and M and Rigel no longer need to hide that they're a couple. The future looks bright…but not everyone is happy with the way things are changing.

There's nothing like being unstuck from space and time to make you seriously rethink your life plans. ⁣ ⁣Sally just wanted a nice Florida vacation, but between literal jump-scares, internet scammers, and the not-FBI hot on their tail, just can't seem to find the time to relax. Will she and Zander ever have that candlelight dinner? ⁣ ⁣ When a mystery lands on their doorstep in the middle of the night, it seems like the answer to all their problems. From Florida malls to the dark side of the moon, the trio needs to stall their nervous breakdowns in order to save the planet from an extra-terrestrial murderer – and, apparently, themselves. Earthstuck is the sixth book in the Starstruck Saga.

Can anxiety be weaponized? Asking for a friend.   After saving the Alliance's butt at the ball turned massacre, Sally's excited to be home and sitting pretty with her presidential pardon. The only rain on her parade? She's overshot her time by three years, and everyone seems more wired and irritable than she left them – is anxiety suddenly airborne? When the Alliance begs the Siblings to find the source of this so-called Dread, her worst fears are confirmed: Earth is one of many worlds suffering intense agitation and escalating panic threatening the collapse of society. But the search forces Zander and Blayde to confront their past, uncovering secrets much more dangerous than flamethrower cats and talking sand traps.   Between them and accidentally space-napped James Felling, saving the universe and finding answers shouldn't be this hard. Someone is clearly pulling the strings, and if Sally can't find out who, the entire universe could implode. But hey, it's all in an end-of-days work.

Framed for a murder you actually did commit? Rude. Sally's saved the Earth from another alien predator only to be rewarded with a jail cell. With her family threatened by the Agency if she doesn't rat out Zander and Blayde, her only option to escape the Alliance is to plead 'aliens' in a court of law. At least at the Hill Institute for the Criminally Insane, she'll have time to clear her mind and focus – on revenge. Finding a way to break out of an institution and cross half the galaxy would be much easier if it weren't for the midnight screams of terror and eerie doppelgangers lurking at the Hill. With the Agency too focused on capturing the siblings to actually protect the planet, it's up to Sally to save the day. Between murder-clown apparitions, alien advocacy groups, and a new translator with compulsive corporate branding, Sally's got her work cut out for her. Too bad the best plan she can come up with amounts to faux-regicide with the help of an exasperated starship captain. Will she ever find the time to just Netflix and chill?

A Martian misfit…   Molly O'Gara has never really fit in anywhere, born on Mars to Ag farmer parents but adopted and raised by a high-ranking Royal family. Unfortunately Molly lacks the usual skill with plants that go with her birth heritage, while also lacking the prestige she would have as a true Royal. Her only claim to importance is being appointed official Handmaid to the Martian Sovereign, Emileia. Holding such a position is a great honor for a lowly Ag but now that she and Emileia, better known as M, are back on Earth, there is little for Molly to do in that capacity. That is, until a new Royal boy shows up at Jewel High. Though absurdly handsome, Tristan is also arrogant and obnoxious—and seems determined to steal M, the Sovereign, away from her bonded soulmate, Rigel. As Handmaid, Molly's job now is to keep Tristan away from M and Rigel, even if that means spending way more time in his company than she'd like. Such familiarity breeds contempt, on both sides. At first, anyway…   The much-anticipated continuation of the electrifying Starstruck series, where teen romance blends with science fiction to open a whole new world of action, adventure and discovery!

A terrible choice between love and friendship   You suspect your best friend has been sucked into a dangerous cult. Worse, the guy you're hopelessly in love with is a member! Rescuing your friend will ruin your budding romance…but what choice do you have?   Bri and Deb have been besties with M since elementary school, but over the past year and a half she's changed. The more strange things they notice, the more they think whatever is going on with M has something to do with that new company that recently relocated to Jewel and all the new students whose parents work there. Their suspicions deepen when they start dating two of the hot new boys and notice more and more weird anomalies, like common phrases the boys don't know and strength and speed that seem to go beyond the ordinary. The more they dig for clues, the more certain they are that M has been drawn into a cult that's performing dangerous experiments on their members…including M! Confronting her will almost certainly ruin the promising new romances both Bri and Deb are enjoying, but they realize it's a risk they'll have to take. What they don't expect is the incredible truth behind all the "evidence" they've collected—or the risk they'll run by exposing it!   The much-anticipated continuation of the electrifying Starstruck series, where teen romance blends with science fiction to open a whole new world of action, adventure and discovery!

The middle of nowhere keeps getting more interesting!    Little Jewel, Indiana, has seen a lot of changes over the past year, to include a dozen new students at Jewel High who all happen to be Martians, not that any of the other students realize that…yet. The locals are getting more and more suspicious of the athletically gifted and attractive newcomers who all seem to have a connection to NuAgra. What's really going on out there anyway?   Marsha, known at school as M and to the Martian people as Sovereign Emileia, is already stretched to her limit trying to keep her people and their secret safe. Now she learns of a devastating new weapon that could destroy the whole town of Jewel, Indiana, including its fledgling Martian government center disguised as an agricultural research company.    Fortunately, she doesn't have to face this menace alone.

Maybe, if they work together, there's a chance their bonds of love and friendship can somehow avert the looming threat…before it's too late.   The much-anticipated continuation of the electrifying Starstruck series, where teen romance blends with science fiction to open a whole new world of action, adventure and discovery!

When their ship crashes on Planet Nope, Sally and the gang find themselves cut off from each other and jumping altogether. And to make matters worse, the planet is home to a race of floating octopi who find humans to be the cutest things ever, and promptly adopt Sally as their unwilling pet. But with no eyes or ears, communicating with these giant cephalopods is a real challenge, especially when they can't hear Sally's cries for a hot shower and anything but kibble. With Marcy missing and Zander fighting to put the pieces of his memory back together, Sally is on a mission to break free from her tentacled tyrants and reunite with her friends. Her only ally is a washed-up alien Rockstar who's making every moment into a power ballad. Can Sally stage a rebellion and escape the clutches of her pet parents and bring everyone home?
