There’s More To The Story:

Did you know that Jake and Sophie’s adventure continues through some short stories and a second novel?

 eXtreme Blindside is the sequel to The Perfect Blindside. You can find more information on their first adventurous mystery HERE.

In case you weren’t aware, I have combined the characters from my award-winning YA mysteries, The Perfect Blindside and An Unexpected Role, in several short stories.

More Precious Than Gold can be found in the CatholicTeenBooks Anthology – Secrets: Visible and Invisible.  HERE

Unlikely Witnesses is a summer adventure that can be found in an ebook novella.  HERE

Shared Blessings is a short story set before The Perfect Blindside. This is a free download to new subscribers of my newsletter. If you already are part of my newsletter mailing list and haven’t had a chance to read the story, send me a quick note through the link on the Contact Page.

For those who are curious, here is the chronological order of all the stories:

Shared Blessings – the winter of the characters sophomore year of high school
An Unexpected Role – the summer between their sophomore and junior years
The Perfect Blindside – the fall of their junior year of high school
Extreme Blindside – the winter of their junior year of high school
More Precious Than Gold – the summer between their junior and senior years
Unlikely Witnesses – the summer between their junior and senior years

Fun Facts

  • Ever since I wrote The Perfect Blindside, I knew I wanted more adventures for these characters and I envisioned it being set at an extreme sporting event.
  • I love finding obscure Colorado facts for Sophie.
  • The scene with Sophie and the tree well was based on an incident that happened to me as a child.
