“No,
they're not starbusts." He continued to touch each mark.
"They're angel kisses. It's like angels kissed your hands all
over." His eyes rose to meet hers. They were filled with
kindness and compassion. Something she had felt little of the past
year. (Peter)”

Hard Place
Snapshot
Marti Hunter hates rockers
and anything remotely related to the rock-and-roll lifestyle. She
thought she’d left that all behind, along with her drug-addicted
mother and absent-minded rock legend father. Now she lives with her
grandmother, and Marti’s life is finally normal. Just the way she
likes it.
For Adam Jamieson, normal is not possible. He is the genius guitar player of the band Jamieson. He’s ecstatic to finally get a two-week break from his micromanaged life and a chance to hang with regular teens. Adam’s shaving off his trademark curls and going undercover.
But when Marti, the reluctant rock princess, and Adam, the undercover guitar wizard, meet, sparks fly in more ways than one. They spend their time alternating between making out and driving each other crazy. But their summer adventures of skinny dipping, storm watching, and stolen kisses are brought to a halt when tragedy strikes.
Suddenly, they’re on opposite sides of the country, just when they need each other the most. Can Marti survive life with her dad and his vicious girlfriend? Will Adam get so fed up with his over-managed life and controlling parents that he quits the band?
Snapshot. A moment in time that changes two people forever.

Excerpt
#1
“I
feel so naked,” Marti whispered while gripping her beach towel.
“That’s
because you are naked,” Kayla giggled.
The
full moon reflected off the water and the lights from the distant
lodge glowed like a string of holiday lights.
“If
I get caught, my mom is going to kill me,” Haley groaned.
“Come
on. There’s far worse things we could get caught doing,” Brooke
reminded her.
“Yeah,
like the guys showing up,” Haley said.
They
arrived at the sandy expanse and stood in a tight clump, staring at
the water.
“Now
what? Who’s going first? ‘cause I can guarantee it won’t be
me,” Marti said.
“I’ll
go. I don’t care.” Brook took a quick glance around before she
tossed her towel aside and stepped into the water.

began to write them down and the rest is history.

natural disaster movies and Broadway Musicals. When not writing,
Angie is concocting ways to make more dreams come true, whether it be
tickets to a Broadway show or convincing her family they should rent
an RV and travel the country. She's still working on that one.
