Kathryn knows a few things about human growth hormone and steroids: (1) when used to enhance performance in a sport, they are absolutely, wholly illegal, and (2) her estranged Uncle Richy ruined his life doing just that.
Outside of the occasional awkward Thanksgiving dinner, Kathryn barely knows her uncle. But when Richy unrepentantly invited her to his research lab, Kathryn can’t help herself. After all, Richy’s drug-abuse days are far behind him - replaced by decades of research on how the illegal GH10 compound that destroyed his sports career and marriage, can enhance a pair of Siberian tigers. And the experience would look great on her college applications.
It isn’t until Kathryn is whisked away to Richy’s private island research lab that she discovers the tigers aren’t the only ones receiving GH10...
To survive the trip, Kathryn will have to be more than strong. She’ll have to be cunning, brave, and determined to beat the odds.
Stripes of Gehenna is a tightly-written tale of intrigue and conspiracy that takes readers deep within the jungles of Papua New Guinea, as Kathryn discovers her own inner strength - and leaves us to wonder what strength lies within ourselves.

Much like a Greek siren with the curse of broken-hearted suitors scattered throughout her past, Emalie goes away to college hoping to leave her old habits behind and find real love. To her immense displeasure, her habitual wearing of sunglasses as a means to potential “prey” of her powers proves to be ineffective. Almost immediately, a boy named Quincy sees her blue, beautiful eyes, and as though they are Cupid’s arrows, he is struck with love. But why isn’t he acting crazy with infatuation?
To make matters worse, another classmate named Tony kidnaps her for a game with some friends and she must use her eyes to escape the dangerous encounter. The downside to the escape: Tony falls in love with her. Struggling against her feelings of vulnerability and the belief that she is a victim of circumstance unable to influence the plot of her life, she must make a choice. She can either continue a life of captive, posessive love with Tony or take a leap, risk her secrets, and pursue her goal of finding love unsolicited by her cursed eyes.

Eyes.
That’s what I am. That’s all I’ve ever been. I have long, dark ash brown hair, calloused fingertips on my left hand from playing guitar and when I talk too quickly or emotionally, I get a slight lisp. But despite how very complex I am, despite how human I am, all that guys deem noteworthy about me are my eyes. My gorgeously blue eyes. The bane of my existence. All that every guy has ever loved about me was my eyes.
My life has been a series of dramatic, romantic entries by men who are hopelessly and unreasonably in love with me. The love they feel for me burns like an unquenchable wildfire; hot, steamy, fast-moving, and unpredictable. Regardless of the unpredictability of the fire, one thing is for certain.
The love always dies.
