Untraceable (Nature of Grace, #1)

"A dramatic entanglement of mystery, deception and teen romance."
- Kirkus Reviews

Everyone leaves a mark. What would you do if yours was erased?

Grace has lived in the Smokies all her life, patrolling with her forest ranger father who taught her about wildlife, tracking, and wilderness survival.

When her dad goes missing on a routine patrol, Grace refuses to believe he’s dead and fights the town authorities, tribal officials, and nature to find him.

One day, while out tracking clues, Grace is rescued from danger by Mo, a hot guy with an intoxicating accent and a secret. As her feelings between him and her ex-boyfriend get muddled, Grace travels deep into the wilderness to escape and find her father.

Along the way, Grace learns terrible secrets that sever relationships and lives. Soon she’s enmeshed in a web of conspiracy, deception, and murder. And it’s going to take a lot more than a compass and a motorcycle (named Lucifer) for this kick-butting heroine to save everything she loves.

Uncontrollable (Nature of Grace, #2)

Sometimes the thing you try and save…is what can kill you!

As Grace recovers from tragedy, her science class is chosen by Agent Sweeney at the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to help with research on the new “Red Wolf Reintroduction Program”.

While she’s excited about helping with the conservation of the endangered wolves, Grace knows this means being outdoors in the worst winter on record, in a place she no longer feels comfortable. It also means working closely with Wyn (her ex) and his annoying girlfriend (Skyler), a girl whose only experience with nature is killing two silk plants and watering a cactus.

After a couple of wolves show up dead, Grace almost quits. However, when a fellow project team member goes missing, Grace continues the assignment under a renewed suspicion that someone might be sabotaging the conservation program. She quietly begins to hunt for clues.

Little does she know, she is being hunted too.

Unstoppable (Nature of Grace, #3)

When you try to make a difference…it might cost you your life.

After everything that’s happened, Grace moves to the Everglades to live with her grandmother and hang out with old man Rex, Birdee’s “friend with benefits”. Grace befriends Dylan, Rex’s nephew, and Sadie, a die-hard teen activist. Sadie spends her time leading protests against the roadside zoos that run rampant in Florida with a total disregard for animals or the flimsy law.

One day while out in the Everglades, Grace and her friends rescue an abused—and endangered—Florida panther. When the animal runs off, Grace follows it to Uncle Bob’s, a roadside zoo that is illegally filled with a variety of exotic animals. Before she can rescue the panther, Grace and her friends are kidnapped by the ruthless owner and dragged deep into the Everglades for a hunting challenge.

Only this time, they are the prey.

During a sick game of cat and mouse, Grace and her friends are offered one chance at survival. With a small head start and very few supplies, only time and skill stand between the hunter and the hunted. But out in the Everglades, there are other dangers that are far worse.


Against all odds, Grace must win and make it home alive or everything she holds dear could be lost.

ReWired

"Delving into the world of underground hacking, ReWired crackles with tension. I loved every cyber-second I was immersed in Ada's world!”— Kimberly Derting, author of the The Body Finder series

16-year-old Ada Lovelace is never more alive and sure of herself than when she’s hacking into a “secure” network as her alter ego, the Dark Angel. In the real world, Ada is broken, reeling from her best friend Simone’s recent suicide. But online, the reclusive daughter of Senator Lovelace (champion of the new Technology Privacy Bill) is a daring white hat hacker and the only female member of the Orwellians, an elite group responsible for a string of high-profile hacks against major corporations, with a mission to protect the little guy.

Ada is swiftly proving she’s a force to be reckoned with, when a fellow Orwellian betrays her to the FBI. To protect her father’s career, Ada is sent to ReBoot, a technology rehab facility for teens…the same rehab Simone attended right before killing herself.

It’s bad enough that the ReBoot facility is creepy in an Overlook-Hotel-meets-Winchester-Mansion way, but when Ada realizes Simone’s suicide is just one in an increasingly suspicious string of “accidental” deaths and “suicides” occurring just after kids leave ReBoot, Ada knows she can’t leave without figuring out what really happened to her best friend. The massive cyber conspiracy she uncovers will threaten everything she cares about–her dad’s career, her new relationship with a wry, handsome, reformed hacker, Fisher, who gets under her skin, and most of all–the Dark Angel.

With a deliciously twisty plot and the topical bite of Cory Doctorow's Little Brother, ReWired delves into technology addiction, internet privacy, and corporate/government collection of data.

ReWired is about the daily choices we all make about who we want to be, how much of ourselves we choose to share with others, and the terrifying risks and exhilarating rewards of being ourselves, online and off.
