  Where rules are meant to be broken

  Anissa is constantly on the run from the police and can’t seem to stay out of trouble.

  Secrets are meant to be kept

  Until Anissa hides Florence in her bedroom and her mother finds out. There’s only one thing left to do: Send her to Juvenile Cop Camp to erase all of her crimes on her record.

  And everything is not what it seems

  There’s only one problem: Anissa is innocent.

  Welcome to Iwishacana.

  Acknowledgements

  First off, I would like to thank God for bestowing upon me the gift to write. Without him, all else would fail.

  I would also like to thank my teachers at Hampton University, Dr. Buchanan and Professor Walker, for becoming the editors for me. Another editor I would love to thank for her brilliant outlook on my anthology is Ricki. Without them this anthology would be a wreck.

  Last of all, I would like to thank my readers and devoted fans for giving me the strength to continue on with this story. And if it wouldn’t be a bother, I would love if you would spread the word. Post about it. Write a review. If you loved it, then please tell your friends and family so that they can enjoy it too.

  Or you could even send me an email if you wish: pocahantas89@yahoo.com

  Or visit me at my blog: https://teacherwritebookaholicohmy.blogspot.com

  For more information about this series and what else I’m writing will be there along with some writing advice for budding writers.

  Thanks for reading!
