Twenty years ago, eighteen-year-old Francis Quick was convicted of
murdering her best friend, Cora King, and sentenced to death. Now
the highly debated Accelerated Death Penalty Act has passed giving
Frankie thirty final days to live. Surprising everyone, one of the
King family members sets out to challenge the woefully inadequate
evidence and potential innocence of Frankie Quick. The at-first
reluctant but soon-fiery Nyla and her unexpected ally-handsome
country island boy Sam Stack-bring Frankie's case to the
international stage through her YouTube channel, Death Daze. They
step into fame and a hometown battle that someone's still willing
to kill over. But who? The senator? The philanthropist? The pawn
shop owner? Nyla's own mother? Best advice: Don't go to family
dinner at the Kings' estate. More people will leave in body bags
than on their own two feet. And as for Frankie Quick, she's a gem .
. . even if she's guilty. Praise for We Were Kings: "We Were Kings
is the best kind of mystery novel-intelligent and bursting with
heart. As Nyla untangled her family's secrets, the twists left me
breathless." -Brittany Cavallaro, New York Times bestselling author
"Bingeable. Atmospheric. A book that grabs hold and doesn't let go.
We Were Kings offers a delicious mystery perfect for fans of We
Were Liars and A Good Girl's Guide to Murder. I savored every word
from beginning to end." -Caroline George, author of The Summer We
Forgot Young Adult suspense with some romance Stand-alone novel

From award-winning and highly acclaimed author Court Stevens comes
a gripping, emotional story of small towns, rumors, and thirteen
missing boys. The Gemini Thief could be anyone. For nearly a decade
the Gemini Thief, a serial kidnapper who abducts three boys on June
1st, has terrorized Tennessee. The June Boys being held captive
endure thirteen months of being stolen, hidden, observed, and fed
before they are released, unharmed, by their masked captor. The
Thief is a pro, managing to elude authorities while abducting over
twelve boys over the past ten years. No one knows why-but they do
know they don't want to be next. Now Thea Delacroix has reason to
believe the Gemini Thief has taken a thirteenth victim: her cousin,
Aulus. But the twisted game begins to change: one of the kidnapped
boys turns up dead. With the help of her best friends and her
boyfriend Nick, Thea is determined to find the Gemini Thief and the
remaining boys before it's too late. Only she's beginning to wonder
something sinister, something repulsive, something unbelievable,
and yet, not impossible: What if someone she knows is the Gemini
Thief? Praise for The June Boys: "Stunning twists and turns. Hang
on tight." -Ruta Sepetys, international bestselling author "Not
only a terrifying story of the missing, but a heartbreaking,
hopeful journey through the darkness." -Megan Miranda, New York
Times bestselling author of The Last House Guest "A gripping
suspense that hooked me from the first sentence." -Colleen Coble,

On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina--the costliest hurricane ever
to hit the United States--monopolized headlines, thoughts, and
hearts across the country as lives were forever changed, some
erased. This book not only chronicles the devastation of that storm
but also immortalizes through words and photographs some of the
tales of personal tragedy associated with it, while celebrating the
resilience of the human spirit, as communities come together and
begin to rebuild. The Editors of This Book were all members of Dr.
Paul Ruffin's Editing and Publishing class at Sam Houston State
University during the fall of 2006. They wrote the text of the book
and provided most of the pictures.
