A -sometimes- uplifting sequel about growing up, conquering generational trauma and learning to love yourself, even if you don't know who you are yet. Things are looking up for Luna- a new girlfriend, a supportive new family and a job she kind-of tolerates. But when a childhood friend's wedding brings Luna back to her home town of Sanford, Luna has to deconstruct her trauma while dodging the advances of her well-meaning but problematic former church friends.

Messummer's life changes when a futuristic boy stumbles into her ancient world. She must now help him front to his own time before his love for dinosaurs traps him forever.

***

Ever since her father's death, Messummer has wanted nothing more than to prove she can survive in her fragile world. She decides to enter her valley's Great Flying Race as a rite of passage. It’s a race only the bravest flyers attend. While Messummer is preparing for it one day, she meets a creature she has never seen before. His name is Daniel Matton. He stumbles into her world after a malfunction with something called a "time machine".

Fascinated by this new species, Messummer kidnaps him (not that Dan has much of a choice) and takes him on a journey like none other. Of course, that’s only after Dan concludes she’s not going to eat him.

Just when it seems like the two friends' connection is growing, disaster strikes. What starts off as a bonding experience is now a fight for survival.

Will Messummer and Dan escape the horrendous Tyrannosaurus Rex, or will the 11.0-magnitude earthquake swallow them before he can even try to kill them? Will Messummer find the courage to tell Dan who she truly is? Will Dan ever return front to his own time?

Above all, is their friendship going to survive the calamity?

“Just because the main character in a film or in a book says ‘I love you’ doesn’t make it a romantic love story.”Avalon “Ave” Georgine Ainsley Lange, romantic-cynic

MEET AVE

Ave Michaels is a high school student and resident rebel by day.But secretly, she goes by  Lane Maxwell, aspiring writer and soon-to-be the youngest bestselling author of one of the country's biggest publishing house. That is, if she gets the job.

THE JOB: WRITING A ROMANCE NOVEL

If there was one thing Ave knows best, it's how to avoid heartbreaks and other relationship dramas. She even made a rule out of it - one that had saved her countless times. The DITCH rule.

Can a cynical commitment-phobe who had never fallen in love write a romance novel worthy of recognition?Who knows.But then again, inspiration comes in unexpected ways - including from three drop-dead gorgeous surprises!

All of a sudden, she finds herself questioning everything in her life, every decision she ever made so far – including her rule.

Could her DITCH rule really be as heartbreak-proof as she thought it was?  Or was it the thing keeping her from letting herself fall in love and getting the guy?

Warning: Slow updates. Occasional re-editing. Some profane language. Mature-ish scenes.

Think British romcom meets... well maybe just think British romcom.

A story about Sebastian (Seb to those he knows...which aren't many), a university student still not comfortable in his own skin, searching for the rule book on how to socialize. He's shy and sometimes a bit pretentious, maybe even narcissistic but means well at heart...or he at least he sees it that way. All he wants really is to find love in a perhaps too quintessentially British manner.

As it's set during his university years in England it contains a lot of drunken stories, stumbling around Oxford.

Hope you enjoy it. Would love to hear any feedback.
