The Series

We're thrilled to introduce our first Young Adult series launching in 2013. Camp Boyfriend is the first of three books and three novellas set at Camp Juniper Point in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. We've designed a dedicated website for the series, so anytime you want to step deeper into the world of Camp Juniper Point, we invite you to join us at CampBoyfriend.net where we've got bonus contests and features like letters from camp or tips on setting up a stargazing party. Plus, we'll be giving sneak peeks from the bonus novellas (those will be free downloads!) before they're available online.

The Camp Kiss That Started It All…

Lauren Carlson, a fourteen-year-old expert on the cosmos,  superheroes, and science fiction trivia has a crush on her longtime camp friend, Seth. Last summer she’d dreamed about upgrading their  relationship to BF/GF status and this year she has a plan… if only her  well-meaning cabin mates wouldn’t interfere before she’s ready. She hasn’t even adjusted to her new braces yet, let alone imagined kissing Seth with them. When a dare pushes her out of her comfort zone, will she and Seth rocket out of the friendzone at last? There’s only one way to find out….



"I missed out on a good thing, summer camp. J. K.. Rock's novella, Camp Kiss, really made me wish I had that opportunity.... I did not want it to end." - Bits and Pieces of Me

"This one left me with a big smile on my face.... not only did I come away totally understanding the title of Camp Boyfriend, now I'll be heading into that book with a full recognition of how it all came to be. And I always kind of love that for books."  --Bookaroo-ju

Camp Boyfriend

Picture
Book 1: July 2, 2013 
               
They said it couldn’t be done, but geeky sophomore Lauren Carlson transformed herself into a popular girl after moving to a new school half-way across the country. Amazing what losing your braces and going out for cheerleading will do. Only trouble is, the popular crowd is wearing on Lauren’s nerves and she can’t wait to return to summer camp where she’s valued for her brain instead of her handsprings. She misses her old friends and most of all, her long time camp-only boyfriend, Seth. This year she intends to upgrade their relationship to year-round status once she’s broken up with her new, jock boyfriend, Matt. He doesn’t begin to know the real her, a girl fascinated by the night sky who dreams of discovering new planets and galaxies
.

But Matt isn’t giving her up without a fight. As he makes his case to stay together, Lauren begins to realize his feelings run deeper than she ever would have guessed. What if the guy she thought she was meant to be with forever isn’t really The One? Returning to Camp Juniper Point was supposed to ground her uprooted life, but she’s more adrift than ever. Everything feels different and soon Lauren’s friends are turning on her and both guys question what she really wants. As summer tensions escalate, Lauren wonders if she’s changed more than she thought. Will her first big discovery be herself?
