Cover by: John Harrell, Harrell Creative

Young Adult Contemporary

Date Published: 09-26-2024

Publisher: Black Rose Writing


 

Do you know what it’s like to win an Olympic gold, then have it stripped
away? I do.

Gold is every figure skater’s life dream. At fifteen, I experienced the
thrill of wearing the medal for a few minutes until judges accuse me of
being too young to be eligible. That’s when I realize my father’s ultimate
lie could cost more than my title.

During our daring escape from Russia, I pressure my coach to tell the truth
about my adoption. But the quad combination and two world titles aren’t
enough to keep the scandal from erasing my career and identity. Disgraced,
disqualified, and devastated, I can’t face a rink, fans, or daily life. My
controlling dad’s betrayal lights a fire to break free from his bad
decisions. My best friend and a journalist who will tell my story step in to
stop the downward spiral and help me uncover my past.

The story of Docia’s fierce determination to discover her true identity,
unerase her career, and find the passion to skate again will engage teen
readers, figure skating fans, and anyone who’s ever experience betrayal from
someone close.

Publisher: Shadow Spark Publishing


 

Surfside City, New Jersey. 1966. Cub reporter Harman Bass is cutting his
teeth in the fast world of local journalism and getting out-scooped by the
competition. Facetious, cocky, and always quoting Nietzsche, Harman
isn’t making any friends both in and out of the newsroom.

All that changes when the daughter of a prominent family is found dead on
the beach, handing Harman the juiciest news story of the year. But she
wasn’t any old beauty pageant queen; she was his high school
girlfriend. Harman’s dogged reporting into the young woman’s
death reveals pushback from the authorities and pulls the newshound into the
resort’s darkest corners.

After one of his sources is murdered, the routine story becomes dangerous
and personal. Something watches Harman from the shadows, something ancient
and hungry, worshipped by powerful men who kill to keep their secrets.
Harman’s job and life are soon threatened, and the once brash reporter
must battle his boss, rival journalists, and his own sanity before filing
what could be his last story.

THE OCEAN HUGS HARD is a mystery with the salty whiff of the ocean, a tinge
of nostalgia, and a dollop of mind-shattering eldritch horror.
