Announcing Pocketful of Rocks – Book 3 of What If Wasn’t — now available on Amazon Pre-Order.
Alyse died in his arms and nobody cares if he’s sorry.
Hitting rock bottom hurts, and when Peter finds himself there for the second time, he shatters. Family and friends disappear, politics and the court system conspire to cancel his future, and Peter himself isn’t sure he wants to survive.
Over a period of months following the boat wreck, Peter learns that being sorry isn’t nearly enough and some broken things can’t be easily mended — even him.
Maybe a pocketful of rocks is the answer to everybody’s problems.
As he realizes the depths of the damage he’s done, he contemplates whether the solution to his problems might not be a pocketful of rocks.
The author prompt for this anthology was to write about a bright and/or hopeful future. Check out my contribution “Perspectives”. Solar punk is quite a departure from the apocalyptic Transformation Project universes it is drawn from, but I think I did the future justice.
Dumpster fires burn hot and show a tendency to spread.
After his red-kryptonite-fueled crash-and-burn last summer, Peter’s walk to redemption is rocky and full of stumbles. Exhausted and fed-up with himself, he hopes returning home to Port Mallory will provide an opportunity to repair his damaged friendships.
Has he earned a second chance?
Ben doubts he’ll ever trust Peter again. Alyse’s new best friend, Lily, sees a lot to admire, but people keep warning about Peter’s bad-boy past. Trevor and Alyse are keeping secrets. Cheyenne doesn’t appreciate the plastic surgery. And, red kryptonite still makes him feel strong while making him oh-so weak.
Peter desperately wants a second chance, but he may not have what it takes to extinguish the dumpster fire his life has become.
The 6th book in Transformation Project is slated to launch August 11. Now on preorder with reduced pricing, it continues the story of the series with some truly heartwrenching scenes.

Red Kryptonite Curve
Never judge a book by its cover.
Peter Wyngate’s life is easy – viewed from the outside. Handsome, intelligent, athletic, musically talented, he can have any girl he wants. His father’s a rich powerful man who can send his kid on European summer tours and bestow cool cars. He’s got a great best friend and a fiercely loyal sister.
In a matter of days at the end of the summer before heading to college, Peter learns that all the advantages of his life might actually be stumbling blocks when influenced by red kryptonite.
