    From the first moment Mandy Hill saw Tyler Webster shooting hoops she wanted to get close to him, but for that she would have to become popular.

    This Feeling (7,000 words/20 pages long) is a paranormal with shape-shifters.
    Alex, a high school student, has entered the Year of the Change, as Werefelines call the stage of life in which their transformations into cat form begins.

    Leah and Adam, survivors of the plague that all but wiped out humanity on the Fourth Continent, are on a dangerous journey to Assembly, the only way out of the zombie-infested continent. Can their love survive death, and all that comes after?
