Jason Bourne meets The Sopranos in this breathtaking adventure
Sara Jane Rispoli is a normal sixteen-year-old coping with school and a
budding romance–until her parents and brother are kidnapped and she discovers
her family is deeply embedded in the Chicago Outfit (aka the mob).
Now on the run from a masked assassin, rogue cops and her turncoat uncle,
Sara Jane is chased and attacked at every turn, fighting back with cold fury as
she searches for her family. It’s a quest that takes her through concealed
doors and forgotten speakeasies–a city hiding in plain sight. Though armed with
a .45 and 96K in cash, an old tattered notebook might be her best
defense–hidden in its pages the secret to “ultimate power.” It’s why she’s
being pursued, why her family was taken, and could be the key to saving all of
their lives.
Action packed, with fresh, cinematic writing, Cold Fury is a riveting and
imaginative adventure readers will devour.
The year is 1876, and there’s something strange and deadly loose in Philadelphia…
Eleanor Fitt has a lot to worry about. Her brother has gone missing, her
family has fallen on hard times, and her mother is determined to marry her off
to any rich young man who walks by. But this is nothing compared to what she’s
just read in the newspaper—
The Dead are rising in Philadelphia.
And then, in a frightening attack, a zombie delivers a letter to
Eleanor…from her brother.
Whoever is controlling the Dead army has taken her brother as well. If
Eleanor is going to find him, she’ll have to venture into the lab of the
notorious Spirit-Hunters, who protect the city from supernatural forces. But as
Eleanor spends more time with the Spirit-Hunters, including their maddeningly
stubborn yet handsome inventor, Daniel, the situation becomes dire. And now,
not only is her reputation on the line, but her very life may hang in the
balance.

It’s my turn to run a “Campus News” crew, and I’ve put together a team that
can break stories wide open. And Washington Irving High has a truly great one
to cover, if only we can find a lead.
A secret society has formed in our school. It announced its presence with
pranks: underwear on the flagpole, a toilet in the hallway, cryptic notes. A
circle of silence keeps the society a mystery. No one knows its members, agenda
or initiation secrets-until a student lands in the hospital under “strange”
circumstances.
I “will” blow this story wide open and stop others from being hurt…or worse.
And while my ex, Jagger, might want to help, I don’t trust him yet. (And, no,
not because of our past together. That is “not” important to this story.)
But whether you find me, Valerie Gaines, reporting in front of the camera,
or a victim in the top story of the newscast…be sure to watch “Campus News” at 9:00 a.m. this Friday.
