Midnight
Tommy Dane has a secret. But everyone has secrets, right?
Only one other person knows Tommy’s secret and that’s his best friend, Levi Anderson. And their friendship is tested once the truth is out.
Elizabeth and her friends escape to a remote cabin in the woods for the weekend, only for things to go south in the first hour upon arriving. With the uneasy thought of being watched in the back of her mind, Elizabeth seeks answers for the mysterious events that follow. A murderer on the loose or simply paranormal sightings – the forest housing them for the weekend isn’t all what it’s made out to be. She begins to feel stuck in a trap set by her friends and loses sight of what is reality. There is something she isn’t being told. She isn’t ready for her loyalty to be tested by those close to her or to reveal the lies she has told in the past.
But when Tommy and Levi show up uninvited, Elizabeth is forced to make a choice, a choice that will change her future forever.

The Horses of Saddlers Ranch: Acorn
“Coral Johnson, please report to the principal’s office. I repeat, that’s Coral Johnson to the principal’s office. Thank you.”
Coral glanced up from where she had been bent over her desk, surprised to hear her name being called over the school’s loudspeaker, especially when they were right in the middle of a class. The seventeen-year-old girl quickly got permission from the history teacher to leave the room, who nodded at her in response to the announcement.
“What did you do?” Tilly Carpenter hissed in her ear from her usual place at the next desk over.
“I’ve got no idea,” Coral whispered back, gathering her books and rushing to stuff them all into her backpack. “I’m as startled as you are.”

Each line reaches for the unspoken, unearthing the rhythms of love, struggle, and survival with uncompromising honesty. This is poetry that sings, poetry that bleeds, and poetry that will not let you go.
Open Longwinded and prepare to be undone.
