Forward
The story is set in a future where the world has been split between those who are literate and those who are not. The literate Lefts are intellectuals, constantly studying and on a search for information. The illiterate Rights are crafty, having to create and invent new ways to do things without formal education. Both the Left and Right flourish in these new times, but still struggle underneath the surface. Too prideful to admit it, generations pass with both sides feeling as though something is missing and refusing to believe it can be found in the other side.Though prejudice and discrimination has always ensued, the two sides have always been peaceful. However, something is shifting. The Left is in charge of the government of Carris, while the Right lives under laws they aren't able to read. Centuries of buildup is starting to boil and rebellion begins forming in the Right. Enter Evelyn Vaylora, a Right who longs to have the words necessary to convey all the thoughts she has in her head. Since she was little, she's been stealing books from the trash and the library, teaching herself how to read and write. Enter also Alexander Oglethorpe, crown prince to the throne. At a young age, his parents realized there was something wrong with him as he wasn't able to read properly, constantly confusing letters, having a difficult time spelling, and growing frustrated at tasks where writing was required. Through a series of events, the unlikely pair meet and realize that something must be done before the Rights attempt their overthrow of the government... and they just might be the ones to do it.…

Falling
1st Place in the 2017 Galaxy AwardsShe thought she would have a normal autumn. But that was 5 years ago. Ever since her sister fell and left, she felt she would never be able to bounce back. No one treated her the same. She wasn't the same. She never would be. But then he came. He changed her world without knowing. For how could he? She never told him she was different before they met. She told the one person she knew she could trust. The one person she knew would understand. Her sister. If only her sister could remember.This story is about a girl like you and me. She has her fair share of problems, ranging from school to crush. She gets excited when she sees a puppy and moody when mother nature comes knocking. But she does have to deal with just one more thing. The fact that her sister fell and forgot everything. The fact that the doctor's think it's safer for her to stay that way. The fact that at only 8 years old, her sister was completely changed to a whole other person, new family included, and would never remember her again. 5 years later, Autumn Chere is still dealing with the PTSD of it all, and her therapists recommended to keep a journal of everything so that maybe she can sort through her thoughts enough to write it down. She does the next best thing.
