The newest one contains (among others) stories about nature, extreme competitiveness, creativity, stepsisters, dysfunctional families, unrequited love, shyness and crushing, and violence in schools.
The story “The Gill Net” won an honorable mention in this year’s Writers Digest contest in the YA category. You will never again look at sea lions in the same way as before.

LC Hayden’s Secrets of the Tunnels
LC Hayden is a local El Paso mystery writer. One of her best books is Secrets of the Tunnels. She uses the tunnels under the city of El Paso as part of her setting and did extensive research. It’s a real page turner, about an abused woman who flees from an abusive husband, along with their six year old. One of the best endings my husband ever read! Read her standalone mystery today. You’ll love it.
Buy it on Amazon. Or read for free on Kindle Unlimited.
New release: Ely the Elephant’s Jungle Stories by Pedro Zenker
Finally. It’s here. The book of elephant stories that was four years in the making. Ely is the adorable elephant with a superpower who roams the Jingle Jangle Jungle helping others and making friends. New author Pedro Zenker captured the essence of the elephant character who populated the stories his mother would tell him before bed (and I edited it to bring out spunky dialogue and exciting action). Plus, we got Nacho L. Garcia, Jr., the renown political cartoonist from the El Paso Times, to do the drawings. So, don’t miss these heart-wrenching tales of true friendship and kindness. This chapter book is the perfect animal story book for 5 to 10 year olds or for anyone young at heart.
Available on Amazon today.

It’s Here: On with the Show!
My latest creation is out! On with the Show: A Collection of Monologues for Teens is finally here.
If you are a drama teacher, student actor, a participant in drama UIL, or if you are simply looking for short, entertaining reads, you will enjoy this collection of fifty-two monologues for teens. These dialogues have been specially prepared to showcase the ability of a young actor to conjure up several emotions within each monologue. Some of the emotions highlighted include excitement, joy, disappointment, surprise, outrage, anger, envy, and sadness.
Topics include family issues, relationships, shopping, cool jobs, breaking rules, complainers, bullies, moving, travel, movies, TV shows, social media, animal abuse, self-esteem, death, and many others. The monologues were written with the modern teen in mind. They also portray, in both phrasing and word choice, how young people speak and think. Hope you’ll look for it on Amazon today!
