    About this ebook

    Sequel to Out of Order

    After witnessing the murders of her three best friends and having their killer arrested, Corey Nguyen is having trouble adjusting to life after high school. Now a freshman in college, all she wants is to put her dark past behind her, make some new friends, and keep her head down until it all blows over.

    To Corey’s dismay, her new world comes crashing down when the killer suddenly claims he was coerced into a confession, which means Corey will have to face her friends’ killer in court. Testifying in a murder trial forces her to relive the horrifying events of prom night, and to top it all off, she’s pretty sure her mother is having an affair with the prosecuting attorney, her therapist might be turned against her, and she’s falling for the one person who is totally off limits.

    It’s clear her ordeal isn’t over yet, but Corey might be one panic attack away from losing her mind and making a mistake that could see a guilty man walk free.

      Where Have All The Young Girls Gone?

      Sep 10, 2022

      The little fat man squirmed in his chair, sweat running down his red cheeks. I thought he was going to cry. Instead, he stared at me as though I had arrived from another planet, an alien being sent solely to torment him. I didn’t know why Professor H

      The Freshening

      Sep 15, 2018

      My cashier’s black hair was beautiful. Though not unlike mine, it was shinier and thicker, and hung glamorously down to her waist. It looked strong, too, like Christopher Reeve’s in the Superman movies. A strand of Superman’s silvery hair could hold

      Supportive Husband

      There were less intimate places available, so it was odd when a woman took the seat directly facing mine across the subway aisle. I looked up from my book and right back down: a couple of months before, we’d gone home together. She had a Southern acc

      Final Determination

      May 10, 2023

      Living people get a lot wrong about the After Life. It isn’t binary Heaven or Hell but a spectrum where most people end up somewhere better than their Earthly life. There’s also a state of Abeyance where you stay if you have unfinished business. For

      My wife, Gin, once knocked gently on my head, as if it were a door. “Hello,” she kept saying. “Hello. Who’s in there?” She and our therapist, Dr. Sherby, laughed a little about this, so I did, too. What fun. Keep knocking on my head like that, like i
