The first mortal to converse with plants (and they with him) is an odd, bedraggled, green-eyed fellow named Weed. He came out of nowhere and has some elemental link to an herbal consciousness. In NIGHTSHADE, the second volume of The Poison Diaries, Weed pursues his lady love while Jessamine flees England with the Prince of Poisons, attempting to escape her crimes under a dark influence.
"Young adult audiences should really enjoy the unique and creative storyline of The Poison Diaries."

About the Book
Sixteen-year-old Jessamine Luxton is heartbroken. Her true love, Weed, the strange but intriguing young man who came into her life so suddenly, has disappeared. How could he have left her with no farewell, and no word since?
Jessamine may not know why Weed vanished, but she does suspect that her own father, Thomas, may have had something to do with it. Thomas, who was so obsessed with Weed’s secret knowledge of dangerous plants that he would do anything to learn it. This suspicion --- and her experiences with poisons --- has changed her. She is no longer innocent, and now she has her own intimate knowledge of the power of the plants.
So when Jessamine learns that Weed is alive, she will do whatever it takes to be reunited with him.
She is, after all, her father’s daughter....

High school. The proverbial melting pot of jocks, preppy girls, followers, and those left behind. Teenage angst runs rampant, and everyone, no matter what their station in life, at some point feels as though they don’t belong. Mal has numerous reasons to feel like a total outsider. His father left for no reason when he was younger and has had no contact since. His mother drowned her sorrow in alcohol, and he doesn’t know what she will be like from day to day. He has no real friends and probably wouldn’t want any based on the people who inhabit his school. Read More

The Christmas season is here! Did it sneak up on everyone else, or am I alone in feeling this way? I am thinking that this may be because of our October blizzard, which between that and the August hurricane spun my world a new way, where I feel like my seasons are a bit off. I am sure ALL of you are more prepared for the holiday than I am!
