New Young Adult Book!
My next book will be releasing soon. It's a YA coming of age romance novel about a seventeen year old girl named Raina. I started working on this book in 2015 and would work on it on and off through out the years.
It's out on November 25th 2025
It's around 345 pages.
It’s a fun story to read. I hope you’ll laugh a lot and empathize with the main character, Raina.
If I had to describe the novel, it has the essence of Lizzie McGuire meets Clueless meets Even Stevens meets Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, with the spunk of Kesha.... something like that. LOLOLOL!!! I love it so much.
Check out the blurb for SEAGULLS AND OTHER FUN STUFF
********
In this YA, Coming of Age novel, a seventeen-year-old girl mourns a nine-year friendship, and gets her first boyfriend… all at the start of senior year.
Raina Mavis-Anne Franklin’s life was perfectly swell, well… it was until Jeremiah Lincoln-James Underwich renounced their friendship, and then subsequently her father began dating their next-door neighbour’s sister.
Nothing was making sense!
The universe was throwing stinky socks at her and she had no idea why. Was it trying to tell its resident big mouth, resident awesome sauce, resident hair on chin girl… that it needed to change?
Maybe a change in attitude wouldn’t be so bad… at least for one day it wouldn’t.
Star high school football player Wade Thompson had one goal in mind. Win every game, get a scholarship, and leave this boring town for good. Everything was going to plan, well… it was until he crossed paths with his enemy’s cute ex best friend.

YA8 Release Date Update
Hey Everyone!!!
Hope everyone is doing okay.
I almost applied for a job at an ice cream store....LOL. That would have been very interesting.... :-)
In other news, I'll be releasing YA8 on AUGUST 1st 2025. I'm so sorry for the constant release date changes... I need more time. Again I'm so sorry.
*the date of release might change due to work obligations
Here's the Blurb!
*******
The final book in the Young Annabelle Series...
What do I see when I look in the mirror?
I see a financially stable woman who loves being a flight attendant, lives in Boston in her dream condo, and she did it… all on her own.
But… no matter how hard she tries to move past the past, young Annabelle lingers in the back of her mind, and in the scariest place of them all… in her heart.
At twenty-five years old, Annabelle Simms holds everyone at arms’ length, doesn’t fall in love, and the best thing of all… she’s content with knowing she has only herself to survive this world.
Not her family.
Not her ex-best friend.
None of her ex-boyfriends.
Nobody.
And that’s how it would always be, no matter what.
Or so she thought.
When the opportunity to return to Orlando to rekindle an old friendship comes up, she takes it immediately. The first few days back in Orlando opened wounds she’s had sealed for years, forcing her to confront painful parts of her past, leaving her to wonder a few things.
Could her broken heart heal?
Was she capable of loving someone again?
And… was forgiveness possible?
It’s been over seven years since I’ve last seen HIM… of all the days in the year for a reunion… a reunion I’ve been avoiding like my life depended on it… August 1st just got complicated, all over again.
US AGAINST THE WORLD is a New Adult Romance that contains sexual scenes, bad language, and includes scenes of violence.
This is not a standalone novel: Young Annabelle Series Book 8
Young Annabelle Series: 8 Books Total
Book 1: Young Annabelle
Book 2: The Truth About James
Book 3: What My Heart Wants
Book 4: You’re What I Want

Xander knocked on my bedroom door. "Marisa?"
"In here... boss." I grinned, sitting in front of the vanity as he walked into my room. "What took you so long? I've been waiting for ages."
"Oh...have you?" He smirked, his blue eyes sparkling as they never left my face. "When you're done primping, come to the living room. There's something I want to talk to you about."
He left my bedroom without another glance, leaving me shocked, and dumbfounded.
That princess bitch knew exactly what he was doing, thinking he won by denying me the opportunity to call his bluff.
Well screw him.
I was about to teach this kid how the real game was played... mark my fucking words.

NEW Book Published!
Me and My Boyfriend (Y.A Series Book 7) is out now!!!!
**************
Book Blurb:
The Drama Continues….
I ask myself a few questions every day.
Does time heal all wounds?
Can a broken heart heal… eventually?
Is love really worth it in the end?
And the most important question of all… is forgiveness possible?
For Becky Sloaner, when the two most important people in your life back stab you, trust and love were two things that couldn’t be brought back to the equation, no matter how badly those that hurt you were sorry.
For Jenna Sabini, her whole life was about to crash. With friendships fizzling and ex swim team members going off to do their own thing, at least she still had Annabelle and Tom by her side to finish off senior year with. What’s the worst that could happen? It’s not like she had any dangerous enemies, lurking in the shadows waiting for her. Or… did she?
For Tom Colleto, he’s had trouble remembering who his father was ever since he disappeared years ago. But things were getting strange. Faint warnings surprise him when he least expects it. A certain darkness has been creeping in the shadows, and Tom acknowledging it might mean the difference between life and something… very, very bad.
For Annabelle Simms, the divorce her parents were on route for was tearing their family apart. When you’ve spent your entire life walking on eggshells, it was unfair that one moment of defiance would be the catalyst that ended everything. At least she still had two people she could count on, her best friend Jenna, and her boyfriend, James. With those two by her side, making it out of this nasty storm seemed possible, even if scars were guaranteed.
For James Lawson, there were only two things he cared about. Winning fights and his girlfriend Annabelle. And nothing would ever change that. Reaching a high level of success under Rome’s rule in such a short period of time had everyone looking at James with new eyes. When you’re willing to risk it all for the win, Romilly Matos always noticed, and whether James was ready or not, he was about to enter a world where the bad sneaky guys ruled the game, all at the cost of the good guy. But business was business, and he was an asset now, one that Rome wouldn’t be letting go of, no matter how dangerous things got. Success always had a price.
Warning: Contains sexual scenes, some bad language, and includes scenes of violence and hostility. Recommended for ages 17+
Me and My Boyfriend is a 116,000 word Young Adult Romance novel.

YA7 UPDATE!
YA7 UPDATE!
Hello everyone…. long time, no see….errrr….(don’t hurt me, please. I have an explanation, and it’ll make sense…maybe)
It’s been an interesting couple of months. Hell…. it’s been an interesting year and a half.
But I can say, without a doubt, that I have completed… ME AND MY BOYFRIEND (Y.A SERIES BOOK 7) and it’s officially coming out on Tuesday December 15, 2020.
The approx. page count will be 468 pages on most platforms except for Amazon Kindle (a little lower because of their page flow system).
Drafting, Writing, Editing, and putting together this book took way longer than I anticipated it would. Of course the state of the world didn’t help anything, but I’m not going to put it all on that. I place the blame on myself for not giving myself the adequate time frame to create this book. Real adequate time, not some ludicrous time frame that would garner gasps worldwide, at the girl who was either a genius, or a moron for even thinking she could do what no person in history could.
Newsflash… I’m moron.
And proud of it!!!
Disregard the last two lines please.
Last year, August-September 2019, I put too much on my plate to accomplish. It was actually beyond delusional of me to think I could produce three books in such a short period of time. And for that, I sincerely apologize. I don’t know what I was thinking honestly. I mean, nobody could produce that amount of work in that period of time. Who the heck did I think I was… a GD Superhero! “It’s a bird, it’s a plane… no it’s just SaRaH-ToRk!… The writer who can type five thousand words a second! Producing nonstop fiction to bash all her enemies heads off!”
So anyways…what I’m actually trying to say here is… I’m a one-woman show. Is that smart, is that sane, is that possible… no. Am I going to keep on doing it and learn from my past mistakes… hell yeah!
Regarding YA7’s story… putting together 7 or so storylines in one book nearly ended my sanity, on multiple occasions. Whose idea was it again to merge all these characters’ stories into one book?
Me!
Shocker…not.
So what I’m actually trying to say here is, that my brain is mush and I need to change my pyjama pants, because your girl here has been the definition of a SLOB for the last couple of months, trying to get this book done. Basically, I’ve been in my room this whole time, wondering what day it is… and when was the last time I showered.
I’m.
Not.
Lying.
I hope you all enjoy YA7! It’s the longest YA book to date!
Thank you for supporting me, for reading my work, for sticking with me. If not, that’s cool too, I deserve to be scolded for being an idiot, then again that title is in my bio…so, don’t say I never warned you.
Happy Holidays, and be safe!
