Letters From
the Ledge
Winner of the Next Generation Indie Book Award.
Every night he comes to the ledge.
So far, he hasn’t jumped.
Sarah watches him from her window, unable to look away. Will tonight will be the night that his body hurtles through space and crashes to the ground in a failed attempt to fly?
Standing between heaven and hell, life and death, eighteen-year-old Brendan massages the ledge, arms outstretched, contemplating death. Cutting isn’t cutting it. Drugs can’t numb the pain. His best friend is dead, and his wealthy parents are nothing like the polished image they show the rest of the world. Between his father's abuse and his mother's alcoholic neglect, their Manhattan penthouse feels more like a prison than a home. Paige and Nate are watching from their fire escape, teetering on the edge after a brutal rape has shattered their life together. Watching is one thing, but how they can stand by and do nothing?
When they all meet in their everyday lives, things get complicated, turning the night-time voyeurism into a day-to-day game of life and death.
Can Brendan get past Tess’ suicide and find a way forward? Can Sarah find the courage to confront him? Will Nate get to him in time?
This hauntingly beautiful coming of age tale will make you laugh, cry, rage and cheer. We are all human, all fallible, and all want to believe the lies we tell ourselves.
Finn Again
Winner of the Next Generation Indie Book Award.
When love drives you to war and war drives you to addiction, the journey home can be long and twisted. A half-Irish, half-English playboy, Finn McCarthy soon finds out there are some things that can't be bought, and some people who don't play by his rules.
Raised in the pubs and educated at Oxford, Finn never did know which half to favor. His Irish half loves women and booze, while his English half is wicked smart and damned polite.
And then there's Regan, the one girl who never did succumb to his charms. When war beckons, Finn answers the call, but there are some casualties even a soldier can't prepare for. Injured, addicted to painkillers and abusing alcohol, Finn begins to question the strange nighttime dreams and daytime visions that surface, haunting him with premonitions of things he can't control.
To heal his wounds he must banish his demons, a journey that leads him to a sleepy fishing village, where he meets three men that change his trajectory.
Death, loss, and grief converge as the mysteries of his Celtic roots begin to take hold. Will he be lost to the sea? Or lost within his own heart? The battle for balance might just take everything he's got left.
War does things to a man.
But Finn isn't just any man.
The Truth
About Truly
Follow up to the Award-Winning Finn Again
She was the girl of his dreams.It was a chance meeting, but Finn knew her at a glance. The likeness was unmistakable. Even her smell was familiar.
The problem was, Truly wasn’t looking for love. When Truly loved someone, it was a death sentence—and she wasn’t going to have that on her conscience. Not again.
Love and death were partners in crime, and she couldn’t risk doing any more time.
Finn wasn’t willing to give up. He’d cheated death twice in Afghanistan. Three times if you count nearly drowning in whiskey and painkillers.
He’d been through scores of women but had loved only once—until now.
His dreams didn’t lie: this girl was his destiny. He needed to woo her. He needed to win her heart—if he could just manage to stay alive.
She wasn’t looking for a knight in shining armor.
He wasn't looking for a beauty to rescue.
But one fateful night changed all that.
For both of them.
