Please Don't Go Viral
She's always on camera. He's never been seen.
Avery Lane is always on camera. Two hundred thousand followers, a boyfriend who comes with a contract, and a family counting on one week of good numbers to keep their house.
Eli Navarro has never been seen. Forty-one thousand people wait for GhostPilot every Friday at nine, and not one of them knows his face. There's a reason for that, and it's on the internet.
When a nine-foot fiberglass tooth falls off a homecoming float, Avery and Eli grab the wrong phones. Then they make a deal. For one week, he runs her account, and she keeps his worried fans company. Every night at nine, at a twenty-four-hour laundromat, they trade the day.
It should be simple. But Avery is about to find out why Eli hides, and that she is one of the reasons.
A funny, tender YA romance about read receipts, second chances, and the difference between being watched and being seen.
The Nina Serrano Mysteries, Book 1MysteryAdult
Never Livestream a Funeral
A funeral livestream fails, a widow collapses, and a chat message appears twenty-five seconds before she falls.
Nina Serrano runs the video at Bellwether Memorial House, the funeral home in Cypress Cove where she works. She knows the stream was thirty seconds behind the room, and that the word someone typed was posted before anyone at home could have seen the collapse. Her boss told the family the stream was live. She didn't correct him.
Now a detective wants her recordings, the funeral director is hiding a session record, and a tablet signed in as the dead woman's stepson has vanished. Nina has the timing, the sound, and the kind of attention that notices a feather on a hat in the corner of a frame. What she doesn't have is permission to be right.
A fair-play mystery with dark humor, grief handled gently, and a narrator who knows exactly how long everything takes.
