“Ah. I’m going to throw caution to the wind and say we order both.”
“Whoa. You’re a wild man.”
“You know it.”
There was one more mystery I wanted the answer to, although I didn’t bring it up to Ash then. But now, in the quiet solitude of the warm laundry room, I wondered about it again.
It was the kiss we shared when we’d been with the Bison Clan. It was sort of haunting me. It’d been really, really good. It wasn’t just a kiss—it was something more. I’d felt it down to my toes, with my whole body. I wanted to ask him if he’d felt the same, if he wanted to do it again, but I was afraid I’d just wind up ruining it if I talked about it.
“Ash, while we were with the Bison Clan, I um….”
“What?” He blinked at me and cocked his head.
Suddenly, I couldn’t finish my sentence. No way I could talk to him about it. Girls talked about stuff like that. Not guys. Not us.
I shook my head. I already knew my answer to the question. There’d be plenty of time later to find out if he wanted more. “Never mind. Come on. I’m hungry, and I feel an order of french fries and Tater Tots coming on.”

Repeating History: Book One
What happens when two teenaged delinquents accidentally destroy their teacher’s prized collection of historical artifacts?
For Aston and Grant, this is more than just a rhetorical question. They’ve made a huge mistake, one that might cost them everything. Adding to their misery, their history teacher is Merlin. Yes, that Merlin. The answer to their dilemma is deceptively simple according to the old wizard: go back in time to replace the items they destroyed!
Aston and Grant find themselves in ancient Egypt, where their first task is to find and retrieve the Eye of Ra, a golden amulet owned by none other than King Tut, the boy king of Egypt. Neither of them is all that versed in history, so they have to play it cool and learn as they go. It’s not just the amulet causing them trouble either. They soon become friends with Tut and want to help him out. Surrounded by enemies, needing to survive in a primitive world, Aston and Grant quickly learn one basic truth: history isn’t dead when you’re living it.
Repeating History: Book Two
History isn’t dead when you’re living it.
Aston and Grant made a serious mistake a while back when they set fire to their teacher’s office—a teacher who is secretly the legendary wizard Merlin. Now they must travel back in time to retrieve the artifacts they destroyed—and they’re about to find out how the Dark Ages earned its name.
They’re on a mission to acquire the Malleus Maleficarum, the book used by the Inquisition to arrest, torture, and execute witches. In medieval Germany, they’ll be surrounded by danger in a time when anyone could be accused and face horrible prison conditions and an awful death. Will they be able to avoid the watchful eyes of the Inquisitors, retrieve the book, and return to their own time?
Jamie doesn’t know how he’d face life without his best friend, Billy, even though they don’t seem to have much in common. Billy is out and proud while Jamie is still in the closet. Billy’s family has plenty of money to keep him outfitted in the latest styles, while Jamie has a jerk of a stepfather and a miserable home life. Billy goes on glamorous dates with sexy older guys, while Jamie is lonely and secretly pining for one of his high school’s star athletes.
Just as he expected, Jamie is lost when Billy starts keeping secrets from him. Jamie’s reached his limit at home, where his stepfather’s abuse is getting worse. At school he’s roped into tutoring his crush, Dylan, in English, but Jamie has no idea how to talk to the hot track runner. Just when he most needs Billy to lean on, Jamie discovers Billy is bug chasing—trying to catch HIV. The knowledge not only destroys their friendship, but forces Jamie to reassess his entire life. It’s up to him to protect Billy, stay on top of things at school, deal with his first relationship with another boy, and put a stop to his stepdad’s mistreatment for good.
This trip down the rabbit hole will reveal a very different Wonderland.
Alice’s younger brother, Henry, is sent to a bizarre world he never really believed existed. His best chance to get home is the Mad Hatter, who is a remarkably stranger, if more handsome, fellow than Henry expects. Hatter’s only goal is to keep his head firmly attached to his body, and his best chance for doing it is to bring “Boy Alice” to the Red Queen as ordered. It’s dislike at first sight for Henry and Hatter, but since circumstances force them to remain together, they try to abide each other.
During their travels and adventures through Wonderland, they grudgingly forge a friendship that tests their values and established beliefs. Learning to tolerate each other and then to compromise, offers them a chance for something more when they reach the end of their journey—if they can survive the obstacles along the way.
