Two boys pack their tents after a weekend in the Australian bush. But their father does not arrive to pick them up and it becomes clear that something very unusual is happening. In the distance, the Australian capital city is in flames. Two brothers must work together to fight and survive against an enemy from the stars. Another race has watched the arrival of this new enemy, but help is far away. Something big is happening and the earth will never be the same as the brothers find and fight the force that has turned their world upside down. Parental Notes: This book was written for my two sons to explore (as we developed the plot together) how they needed to trust and rely on each other for the rest of their lives. The book is action oriented but is built around this theme of cooperation. In addition to exploring some behavioural themes such as violence and grief, the story also introduces issues such as environmentalism and apocalyptic threats.

Angela Cartwright, a beautiful, young woman whose family returns to Lake Mont, Texas, becomes embroiled in a battle between good and evil. Angela becomes possessed by the ghost of Lizzy Trahan, Travis' lascivious sister who compels Angela to do things she never would have dreamed of doing . . . until she did. The first young man Angela falls in love with is Travis who has a secret past. Through his own guilt and depression from his sister's death, he lacks the urgency to consummate their love. Getting no satisfaction, she begins passionate love affairs with two brothers, Jarrod and Jason Marziotti. Unaware their father is a member of the Web, she is marked for assassination. Fleeing from her assassin, Angela falls into the strong arms of Cody Chilton who has returned to Lake Mont to solve the mystery of his missing brother. These men did not envision the hell they would endure, but were all certain that Angela was worth the price they would pay to have her in whatever way they could. Wealthy people and well-bred racehorses add a touch of southern-style and a feeling that dreams still come true and the good guy (or girl) can win against all odds.

The inspiring true story about identical twin teenage brothers who escape El Salvador's violence to build new lives in California as undocumented immigrants, perfect for fans of Enrique's Journey and anyone interested in learning about the issues that underlie today's conversations about DACA and immigration reform. Ernesto and Raúl Flores are identical twins, used to being mistaken for each other. As seventeen-year-olds living in rural El Salvador, they think the United States is just a far-off dream--it's too risky, too expensive to start a life there. But when Ernesto ends up on the wrong side of MS-13, one of El Salvador's brutal gangs, he flees the country for his own safety. Raúl, fearing that he will be mistaken for his brother, follows close behind. Running from one danger to the next, the Flores twins make the harrowing journey north, crossing the Rio Grande and the Texas desert only to fall into the hands of immigration authorities. When they finally make it to the custody of their older brother in Oakland, California, the difficulties don't end. While navigating a new school in a new language, struggling to pay off their mounting coyote debt, and anxiously waiting for their day in immigration court, Raul and Ernesto are also trying to lead normal teenage lives--dealing with girls, social media, and fitting in. With only each other for support, they begin the process of carving out a life for themselves, one full of hope and possibility. Adapted for young adults from the award-winning adult edition, The Far Away Brothers is the inspiring true story of two teens making their way in America, a personal look at U.S. immigration policy, and a powerful account of contemporary immigration.

Gets inside the heads and hearts of immigrants." --Kirkus, Starred Review "A must for all young adult nonfiction shelves." --School Library Journal, Starred "Visceral and informative, this is a necessary read for today's youth." --Booklist
