Launi Kline is the daughter of a rockstar, her birth immortalized in a hit song that sold millions and kept her father's band at the top of the charts for years. She left that life behind long ago-but this summer, she's pulled back on the road to help the band's PR recover after the loss of their beloved drummer.
Rye Banning grew up watching his dad play drums for one of America's favorite bands. He loves music-and his drumsticks-but hates the rockstar lifestyle. When his father's spot opens up, Rye vows to do his best to fill his shoes. But he can't forget that Launi abandoned her roots-and him-for a whole new life, and she remembers him as the obnoxious kid from her childhood.
As they clash over image, PR stunts, and the expectations of fans, sparks fly both on and off the stage. Can they find a rhythm that works before the summer-and the band's legacy-falls apart?

Finding Demi- A Novus Orsa Story
Jay is a bit of a misfit. In fact, if it was the 1950s, you may even call her a 'greaser' with her signature leather jacket and '78 Trans Am. She spends her days working as a drum and guitar teacher at the local music store, and her free time playing guitar in her garage band, Novus Orsa. Beneath the surface, though, she hides a secret that has nearly ruined her life once, already. You see, Jay is a closeted lesbian in a military town. Between her ultra conservative parents and the ever-swirling rumors caused by the betrayal of her ex-best friend, Jay is ready for her senior year to be over before it ever starts. On her first day, however, a chance encounter (or collision) changes the trajectory of her life. Demi is a transfer student, upset that her father's job has torn her away from the city, her boyfriend, and the life she knows. It hasn't been an easy adjustment to such a tiny, boring town, and she doesn't even have a car to get away. The first day of her senior year is going terrible, and to make matters worse, her clumsy feet have her stumbling down the stairs. Two worlds collide and what awaits her below has her reconsidering everything she thought about this town. *Note- This story takes place in 2010 and is loosely based on my own high school experience. The more I got into writing it, the more I realized how much has changed in 14 years.Complete

Eli Hewson, frontman of the rising rock band Inhaler, is unraveling. Months of creative block, tension with his bandmates, and a devastating breakup with his girlfriend, Grace Burns, have left him questioning everything-his music, his relationships, even his identity. What once felt like a dream life now feels hollow, and the cracks are impossible to ignore. In search of clarity, Eli retreats to the legendary Chelsea Hotel in New York, hoping its storied walls might reignite his lost spark. There, among ghosts of artists past, he isolates himself from fame, friends, and expectations-until he meets Saoirse Dupret. Saoirse, a sharp-witted groupie-turned-columnist for Star magazine, lives in the room next door. With her unapologetic energy, biting commentary on the music world, and a personal history as complex as Eli's, she becomes an unlikely companion. As the two form a friendship built on late-night conversations, shared loneliness, and mutual curiosity, Eli begins to peel back the layers of his life and rediscover the heart of his artistry. But as their bond deepens and the outside world starts to call him back, Eli must confront the truth about who he is-both onstage and off-and what he's willing to sacrifice to find his voice again. Set against the backdrop of rock 'n' roll's past and present, this is a story about identity, reinvention, and the unexpected connections that can pull us out of the darkest moments.Complete
