It’s been two years since her father’s death, and Elyse Mckinnon has been struggling to come to terms with it, putting her life back on track. She believes in love again when she meets Luke and is looking forward to a bright future. 

But after a night out with her friends, she wakes up to silence.  No one can see or hear her as she searches for Luke and her beloved dog.  When Elyse meets Caitlyn in the middle of a snowstorm in September, she’s relieved to be able to finally communicate with someone.  Until Elyse suddenly realizes where she’s seen Caitlyn before and knows they’re facing the unknown together.

Despair turns into hope, creating a bond between Elyse and Caitlyn as they navigate through the mysterious isolation that has trapped them from the outside world. The only help comes from voices beyond.  Elyse finds the only way out is to remember how she ended up here.  And who is responsible.

GOZINTAS IN STEREO

  

     There’s always high hopes for a new start as a high school freshman, but living in a small town in Vermont where everyone knows you, there’s bound to be some problems. 

    Just ask Kass Marlow who’s having the worst experience ever. Because of her struggles with math, she’s been excluded from her long-time friends from middle school. She strikes up a new friendship with Cynthia, sharing her algebra woes that they’ve dubbed ‘goezintas’. 

     Kass finds solace in running, after insulting comments about her weight are made by her friends in person, and on social media. Losing weight, and making the cross-country team becomes her focus amongst the chaos in her life, until she’s forced to admit her weight-loss is out of control. 

     And something just isn’t right with her new friend, Cynthia. Kass ignores her instincts, until a former friend is fighting for her life. Even though her best friend, Hailey has stuck by her, she’s not sure who to trust anymore. 

Author Bio

A little about me....

  

 I grew up in rural Vermont; it’s true what they say about the Green Mountain state, there’s more cows than people!  My mom says I started reading about age 4 and I never stopped. I began writing short stories beginning in 7th grade ‘just for fun.’ I was inspired by authors such as Judy Blume, V.C. Andrews, Lois Duncan, Beverly Cleary, Stephen King  and Madeleine L’Engle.

They all had different styles and genres, but they had common ground when it came to bringing the characters to life. I found myself drawn especially to Lois Duncan’s genre of paranormal/mystery, as well as V.C. Andrews’ dark family secret series that I still re-read often just because I feel as though I know the characters.  After moving to Rhode Island in 2007, I was inspired by the beauty of the ocean and especially Block Island which is a short ferry ride.  It  is a small community, yet there's a mystical feel about it, along with fantastic views of the Mohegan Bluffs that led me to write the "Other Half" series. As a nod to my love of young adult novels (specifically Judy Blume), I wrote Goezintas in Stereo that is mystery/suspense that was so much fun to write!    

 So here I am, 30 years later. Letting my twisted imagination run free.  I don’t feel as though I chose this genre. It chose me!
