About this Book
In the not-too-distant future an earthquake levels most of the san Fernando Valley in Los Angeles, and a bold new set of moving buildings springs up, supposedly powered entirely by the sun. Thirty years later, Ford and Shizuka, a poor boy and a rich girl, meet by accident , reluctantly trusting each other as they begin to see through a false world they suspect is being artfully constructed just for them. They uncover an inconvenient truth about the energy supply system that they decide must be exposed. But how deep does the deception go? How much of their minds has been probed, actions predicted, even forced, by the ageless Far Easterners in the Kyojiinville penthouse rolling along 340 stories above the ramp? Will Ford and Shizuka find the courage to try to deceive those who devised the ruthless system and its trillion dollar deception? Will they risk everything?

About this Book
Being a girl with a name like Brave Fox can make life difficult, and in the case of Rava, almost too much to bear, sending her into the Forbidden Land where she might run into vicious warriors, which at the time she ran away seemed less painful than the new chief’s sons and their friend’s relentless teasing and taunting. In enemy territory, seeing a man drowning, she must decide: help him and risk death, or run away back home where they call you a coward.

David Cunard has come a long way from his ‘spazz’ days in middle school when his mild Tourette’s Syndrome ticks and barks and swearing made him an untouchable, as has his date, Jalama Anacapa, who has remade herself as well, conquering her perfectionist, OCD behaviors with therapy and drugs, just like him. His plans to lose his virginity with Jalama are shredded by a series of attempts on their lives and the long journey to discover who is responsible. Complicating matters is the sudden reappearance of his ingenious but feared older brother Stephan, now in charge of a huge real estate development that will wipe out David’s family’s house as well as the highschool he attends and most of Malibu’s lagoon. Can he stop his unexpected reversion to his old ‘spazz’ days long enough to confess his love for Jalama, and prove it by working with his friends to find the truth?
