These are serious matters for anyone. But what if you’re a teenager? And dealing with your own personal issues—of being alone, of boys, sex, and how you look? Girl with Issues follows Sara, a young woman navigating life in a world much larger than she could ever imagine. And more dangerous too. Her coming of age explores identity and young love, as well as the existential issues facing society and women of all ages since forever. Her story is told with a lighthearted, youthful perspective, but it goes well beyond typical young adult fiction. It offers a thoughtful, intriguing blend of contemporary romance, science fiction, and history. So sit back and become a teenager again. Only this time as an adult. Sara’s amazing journey begins with two books.

Book 1—Girl with Issues (Part 1 of 2)

Sara is in her last year of high school. It hasn’t been great for a shy girl with scary eyes and no friends. Elsewhere, two other young women live their separate lives. Preeta struggles for basic survival, while Mel is pampered with every luxury. But things never remain the same and each of their lives is about to change. Just as Sara’s life becomes more promising, she is swept away . . .

Book 2—Invaders (Part 2 of 2)

. . . To another place—and another time.

Sara and her new friends must find a way out of the madness that’s taken hold. A madness threatening Earth itself. But someone stands in the way, and he’s not like anyone Sara’s met before. He’s also caused tremendous pain and destruction. Yet why is she so strangely drawn to him? How can she possibly overcome him and the others who’ve killed so many?
