Remember When

 

True love. Big hair. 

 

Years before Trip Wiley could be seen on movie screens all over the world, he could be seen sitting in the desk behind me in my high school English class. 

This was back in 1990, and I cite the year only to avoid dumbfounding you when references to big hair or stretch pants are mentioned. Although, come to think of it, I am from Northern New Jersey, which may serve as explanation enough. We were teenagers then, way back in a time before anyone, himself included, could even dream he’d turn into the Hollywood commodity that he is today. 

I’m sure I don’t need to tell you who Trip Wiley is. But on the off chance you’ve been living under a rock for the past decade, just know that these days, he’s the actor found at the top of every casting director’s wish list. He’s incredibly talented and insanely gorgeous, the combination of which has made him very rich, very famous and very desirable. 

And not just to casting directors, either. 

I can’t confirm any of the gossip from his early years out in Tinseltown, but based on what I knew of his life before he was famous, I can tell you that the idea of Girls-Throwing-Themselves-At-Trip is not a new concept. 

I should know. I was one of them. 

And my life hasn’t been the same since.

 

 

Remember When is the first story in an NA romantic comedy trilogy. It will take you back to that time before the real world kicked in, that limbo between adolescence and adulthood, that trial of hanging onto the past while figuring out where the future will lie. 

With heart-shredding romance, steamy love scenes and hilarious eighties references, readers of all ages will find themselves rooting for Layla and dreaming about Trip for years to come. It's an endearing journey through the tumultuous world of friendship, family and high school... 

...and the memory of that one incredible guy your heart just can't seem to forget.

Remember When 2: The Sequel

 

You know how sometimes, your high school crush grows up to become an insanely famous movie star?
Okay, Probably not.
But I do.
 

 

Back in high school, Trip Wiley’s fanbase only encompassed the denizens of the nothing little suburb of Norman, New Jersey. 

Ten years later, all that is about to change. 

In the summer of 2000, Layla Warren is enjoying her career as a journalist in New York City (well, sort of), while Trip spends most of his time grabbing Hollywood by the balls. In the days before what will turn out to be his skyrocketing fame, they’ll find themselves confronted with some life-altering choices. 

 


Remember When 2 is the second story of the Remember Trilogy. It will bring you back to that exuberant and riotous time of life in your twenties when you struggled to figure out your place in the world and the person you were meant to be... 

…and the person you were meant to be

Remember When 3: The Finale
 

I’d spent too long in limbo. 
It was time to put The California Plan back into effect.


I’ve been in love with Trip Wiley since I was sixteen years old. 
Yep. That Trip Wiley. 

Academy award-winning actor, known philanthropist, People’s Sexiest Man Alive two years running… 
Yeah. 


It’s not like I’m some delusional stalker-fan. It just so happens that he was my high school sweetheart back in 1991. In the years since, he’s simply been The One That Got Away. We just can’t seem to get on the same page at the same time. 


Our timing may have sucked, but the feelings had already been confirmed. Years ago. 
At least his were. 


He doesn’t know that I had chosen to love him back. 
I need to fix that. 
And I need to do it now. 


Remember When 3 is the third and final book in the Remember Trilogy. 
It’s a story about taking chances and following your heart… 


...and knowing that sometimes, you just have to learn when to let go.

Down the Shore

 

In 1995, Livia Chadwick is a photographer by day and a self-proclaimed rock slut by night. Her dating life is a lackluster parade of evasive jerks and her boss is an unrelenting nightmare of a human being. 

 

What else can a girl do but rent a beach house with her girlfriends and blow off a little steam every weekend? But hey, she’s from Jersey. Barhopping down the shore all season is sort of mandatory.

 

All is going according to plan… until she meets Jack.

 

Jack Tanner is a contractor-turned-musician in a small-town cover band suddenly thrust into the limelight. He’s already had enough of the rock-and-roll lifestyle, and groupies have never been his thing.

 

Then again… there’s a gorgeous brunette in the audience tonight, checking him out with the most incredible green eyes he’s ever seen.

 

She's looking for a fling.

He's looking for forever.

 

It’s gonna be one helluva summer.

 

 

Set in the summer of 1995, DOWN THE SHORE takes the reader on a tour through some of the Jersey shore’s hottest hot spots over one, sleepless, flannel-clad summer. 

It’s a look back to a time when the music was groundbreaking, the rock clubs were king, and bar bands ruled the world.

Breaking

the Ice

 


Zachary McAllister's entire life revolves around hockey and sex, in that order. 
When a career-ending injury changes everything, he’s left mourning the life that could have been. Now the owner of a rundown local pub, the ex-NHL star finds himself grappling with his "ordinary" existence, trying to come to terms with a very uncertain future. 

His former team is on track to win the 2003 Stanley Cup Championship without him, and preparations are being made for a victory party at the bar. 

Enter Avery Brooks. 
She’s the straitlaced event planner hired to arrange the party, thanks to her father's connections. 
Her father who just happens to be the General Manager for the NJ Devils… 
and the guy who handed Zac his walking papers four years ago. 

Suddenly, Avery finds herself face-to-face with her teenage crush. 
The two had a minor flirtation going on back in the day, when Zac was just an arrogant, womanizing rookie and Avery was a naive, starry-eyed fan. 

Their chemistry is undeniable, but both are completely different people than they were all those years ago. 

In order for this fiery Devil to melt the heart of an ice princess, Zac will need to up his game. 
All he needs to do is relearn everything he ever thought he knew about how to play.
