Entrances & Exits
It is time for the Fall One-Act Festival, and Hope gets the honored privilege of debuting her very first original play! With Bryan directing and Jason and Sam as the leads, it seems as if nothing could go wrong with this dream team of talent. But where’s the fun in that?
Enter Sam and Jason who share onstage chemistry so hot, that it’s working overtime offstage! Course, Sam’s real-life beau, Eric isn’t so cool with that. And what about Bryan? With his sexual orientation public knowledge, he’s gaining some admiring attention from the most unexpected people. Can you blame them?
With all these raging hormones, it will be a wonder if the play goes off at all. And the after party? Please - that will be a show all in itself...

Show Don't Tell
With only a few days left before the curtain falls on summer, Bryan and Sam are looking to end their vacation with a grand finale. It has to be huge. It has to be fab. It has to be ... medieval?
The Renaissance Faire has come to town! Okay, so the exclamation point doesn't make it any cooler, but Sam is overjoyed to reunite with her former faire folk. Bryan, however, can do without the abundance of "thees" and "thous," and-oh yes-man tights. But he'd best take part in the festivities lest he lose his head, with Sam doing the chopping.
As if that weren't dramatic enough, someone has discovered Bryan's not-so-closeted secret. And although he's never denied it, it might be time for Bryan to step out of the role he's been playing for years.
A Malibu drama geek is stuck with a wannabe King Arthur's dork ... er, court, and he's got a major secret to tell. You do not want to miss the show...

Everyone's A Critic
School's out, but the drama never stops at the superposh Orion Academy. Hartley Blackstone -- the famous director, producer, choreographer, and genuine Broadway icon -- has chosen Orion to hold auditions for one lucky guy and girl to attend his summer theater program in New York City.
Naturally, every wannabe-It girl and boy at Orion is going mad, prepping to win Blackstone's approval. With any luck, it could be Bryan and his BFF, Sam, stepping onto a Broadway stage.
But Mr. Blackstone, known for his notoriously harsh critiques, is capable of crushing hearts and shattering dreams with a single word. Bryan will need more than his snarky wit and cute smile for this one. He's got to bring it!
Now if he could just figure out exactly what it is....
Reviews For Everyone's A Critic
"...the setting, the wickedly absurd extravagance, and the wit with which the story is told will appeal to many readers."
School Library Journal
"...Bryan makes an engaging narrator, whose takes on privileged classmates, the la-la-land setting, the craft of acting, and his own emotional highs and lows go down as easily as a Starbucks latte..."
Booklist

The Four Dorothys
Spawned from Hollywood's A-list glitterati, nearly every student at the exclusive Orion Academy is a singer, dancer, model, or actor - with the ego to match. So how do you fit so many budding stars into one school musical?
Multi-cast, of course. It's a Wizard of Oz like no other: four Dorothys, two Scarecrows, two Glindas, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Every "star" gets a moment in the spotlight.
Meanwhile, Bryan Stark, narrator extraordinaire, needs to shed some light on a more scandalous plot. Dorothys are mysteriously dropping out of the show, one after the other. If Bryan doesn't figure out why, there may be no one left to click her heels by opening night. . . .
Reviews For The Four Dorothys
"...the hero's narrative brims with fun touches ... Readers will find Bryan an authentic character, and feel for the closeted gay boy within who is ‘slowly moving up in the cast list of my life'."
Publishers Weekly
"...a story you won't soon forget. From the very first sentence you know that the book will be funny and will make you smile all the way through."
TeensReadToo.com
"...angst-ridden, gossipy, and full of trauma-rama - just the way we like it!"
