A coming of age story ... a brave, brilliant story of
strength and self-discovery.
Twenty-one year old Nina writes lyrics and plays guitar in the rock band,
Adam’s Rib, and she doesn’t always play by the rules. And, oh yeah—she has a
way with the girls. Even her brother Nicky’s girlfriends think she’s hot.
But the road to CBGBs in the East Village where Blondie and Joan Jett and
the Indigo Girls stomped, sweated, and dreamed hasn’t always been easy. In
fact, it was damn hard. There were plenty of roadblocks in her way—her own
fears about being different, and the nuns, and the parents who didn’t get
it, just to name a few. But then there was Kerry. Her more than best friend
Kerry—who made it impossible for Nina not to be tough, not to be honest, not
to stand by what she knew was right—not to be…Punk. -
Red Light (June 2007 release)
Who rescues the rescuer when there is no 911 for the
soul?
Blood is…
“Never let rescuer number one become victim number two” is one of the very
first lessons Victoria Scotts, “Tori” to her friends and family, learns as
an EMT.
Blood is…
Caught between family legend and her cousin, Nina, ten years her senior, a
musician and a legend in her own right. Tori may be the oldest of her
siblings, but never first … not with her family, not with the woman she
lives with.
Blood is...
Despite the censure of the mother she supports emotionally and financially,
Tori forges her own path as an EMT in the New York City 911 system. In the
process she discovers a true calling for what she does, a deep and abiding
love for the city and people she serves, and perhaps for the first time in
her life, after a series of dangerously charged erotic encounters, a real
connection to someone who cares for her because of who she is, and not only
for what she can do.
Blood.
When a good faith attempt to render aid, comfort, and compassion goes
horribly wrong, leaving Tori sick and scarred, she must question the
validity of her relationships, the ties of flesh and those that transcend
it, her faith in the innate goodness of people. Hardest of all, she must
face for herself the natural, inevitable…why.
Punk And Zen (January 2007 release)
Angst, sex, love, rock.
Trace, Candace, Francesca...Samantha.
Losing control—and finding the truth within.
Nina is an adult and free on her own terms, but what do you
do after you break free? Freedom to...what? She doesn’t feel too much,
doesn’t trust anyone, and she certainly knows better than to look for love.
That? She saves for music, whether she’s playing guitar or DJing...and
everyone dances to her tune.
But when the dreams Nina works so hard for start to fall
into place, the past she thinks she’s left behind returns. As she opens
herself—to everything—Nina learns that being punk alone is not enough. She
needs to love and be loved, to let go—without losing herself.
Angst. Sex. Love. Rock. ’Nuff said. -
