Angie Cooper, quiet and awkward, is willing to risk it all, including her freedom, when learning Vangie is wanted for a shocking crime that shook the quiet hills of Hollywood.
The Hand She Played
Book One
In many ways, Vangie and Angie Cooper are one person, with many unspoken secrets. In more ways, Vangie is everything Angie wishes to be. While Vangie is provocative, ambitious, and will to stop at nothing to escape poverty, Angie is clumsy, awkward, and quiet.
Inseparable, the twins vow no stretch of the sea or the circumference of the earth will ever come between them. But fate deals them both wild cards, and they find themselves worlds apart, living on opposite sides of the tracks. Years later, when a dark family secret unearths, Vangie and Angie's paths cross again, under fatal circumstances.
Narrated in the starkly contrasting voices of two very different heroines, "The Hand She Played" chronicles the unbreakable bond between identical twins and redefines the meaning of undying love.

L.A. Summer (YA)
Sixteen year old, MITCHELL (MIKKI) , is dying to escape the small town of Boone, Texas. Out of touch with the real world, Mikki's dream becomes reality when she gets the opportunity of a lifetime - a chance to spend a glorifying summer in Los Angeles with her best friend.
The night Mikki arrives to L.A., however, is the night she meets fine, egotistical Dominick Dupree. Getting straight A's for Mikki is easy compared to surviving a summer in South Central Los Angeles, the biggest test of her life.
Mikki's best friend is STACY DAVIS. Sentenced to summer school, Stacy, known for her loud mouth and street smarts, has little to look forward to this summer. That is until she learns her old best friend she hasn't seen in six years is coming to town. There is only one problem. Mikki has changed, and not necessarily for the better.
Stacy's new best friend, CARLETTE HUGHES, has one mission this summer - freedom from her mother who watches her every move like a prison guard. When Carlette hooks up with Bone, a man old enough to be charged as an adult for his crime, he becomes Carlette's ticket to freedom. But the stakes are high.
In a city known for its crime and Hollywood Drama, three friends' wild and crazy pastimes lead to a summer unlike any other and life changing experiences they will forever remember.
