She is the most famous woman in the world—a former actress, songstress, ex-girlfriend of the biggest rock star on the planet, and magnetically privy to scandal. She is twenty-eight years old, but doesn’t look a day over twenty with her petite, 5’2” frame and her dark hair teased in a short pixie cut. Her beauty is that of premium natural selection—full pink lips, high cheek bones, big blue eyes framed by impossibly thick eyelashes, a button nose, and deep dimples set into a face of light freckles. This woman is not of high birth, has no college degree, and has graced the covers of every tabloid in the world for years. 

And this woman has just married the prince of the devastated country of Kenth. This woman has just joined the royal family of Aravica, a monarchy ridden with their own share of unbelievable scandal and tragedy. 

I invite you to embark on the most important interview ever done—and one of the most significant conversations of our time. 

Meet Bets Anthony. This is her story of becoming a princess.

Zellie Wells has a devastating crush on Avery Adams, the son of her mom’s high school sweetheart. At her sixteenth birthday party, held in the basement of her dad’s church, she finally finds the courage to talk to him. Turns out, the devastating crush is mutual. 

As Avery takes her hand and leads her out onto the makeshift dance floor, Zellie is overwhelmed by her first vision of his death; shocking because not only are they both covered in his blood, but they’re old, like thirty-five, and she is pregnant.

Afraid to tell anyone about the vision, (she’d just be labeled a freaky black magic witch, right?) Zellie keeps the knowledge of Avery’s future to herself and tries to act like any other teenager in love. When they get caught on their way to a secret rendezvous by her mom and his dad, they are forbidden to see each other.

Convinced that their parents are freaking out unnecessarily, Avery and Zellie vow to be together no matter what. They continue their relationship in secret until Zellie learns that their parents are just trying to prevent her and Avery from suffering like they did. The visions are hereditary, they’re dangerous, and if they stay together the visions will come true. 

Now Zellie must choose between severing all ties with Avery, like her mom did to prevent his father’s death, and finding a way to change Avery’s future.

Shane Krivich has plans for the summer.

But an ancient evil entity long lost, has plans for him...

All Shane wants is to meet a girl, fall in love and finally lose his virginity, just like any red-blooded eighteen-year-old male. Except not all typical teenagers have their own personal anxiety best that wraps its constricting tentacles if they even think of touching a girl. Add in a best friend named Cam, that will not only sleep with anything with breasts, but try to sway any girl's eye from Shane, it's enough to make a virile young man crack. He's learned to deal with the nagging anxiety beast over the years, and Cam, but when he starts hearing a voice in his head and losing moments of time, he believes that either a split personality is scratching to get through, or, his intrusive anxiety disorder has gained enough momentum to finally take him over, altering who he is and what he does.... 

After Shane and Cam win an all-expenses paid trip to Stonehenge, he is determined to have the time of his life and to finally break the bonds of the anxiety beast; leaving his boyhood behind so that he can become a man. But, unknown to Shane, he was brought to Stonehenge for a reason-a reason that reveals the answer to the question of whether his recent bouts with anger and amnesia are psychological. 

Against the ancient backdrop of Stonehenge, something older than the mysterious stones waits to be reborn. And it needs Shane...it needs his blood.
