Writing by the Water

Coming Soon!

Life, Death, and Expiration Dates 
TBA

Sean tames his darkest secret with one simple rule.  Never tell anyone the day they will die. 

At seventeen, Sean Ratcliffe chases high octane adventures and avoids messy human connections to escape the heavy weight of guilt. With simple eye contact, he sees the exact date of everyone’s death. When his parents vanish during a climbing expedition in Peru, Sean knows they can’t be dead. He searches for answers while navigating a new life with his aunt and a mysterious girl with the only timeline he can’t see. 

 

With a suitcase full of secrets, Ava Kouris is on the run yet again, biding her time until she can break free from her mother. She’s spent her whole life juggling ghostly premonitions, her mother’s manipulations, and a best friend who’s unaware she died almost 70 years ago. 

 

When a shadow agency hijacks their lives, they realize that cooperating is the only way to protect their secrets and find information about Sean’s parents. As danger intensifies, the teens must untangle their feelings for each other and take charge of their lives, even if it means losing Sean’s parents forever.

About the Author

After trudging the query trenches, I am now looking into publishing for myself. This is my debut novel, and when I’m not throwing my characters into life-changing danger, I wrangle young minds as a teacher and co-host a writing circle for fellow kidlit authors. I live in West Kelowna, British Columbia with my husband, where we mastermind ways to launch our adult children into life and out of our house.

Always on board for coffee, cocktails and sunshine on the deck!
