AND... an unveiling of Falling for You, The Harley Files, Freshman Year, Book 1 cover!!!

Drum roll, please.... :)


Harley Jenkins has no idea how she’s going to get out of the mess her roommate has dragged her into. The university has placed her on probation and the disciplinary board has demoted her from her position in local news to the fashion section of her school’s online newspaper. She doesn’t even care about fashion and is far from trendy. She wants to be an investigative journalist, not do entertainment.
So when she hears the rumors saying something major just went down at her dorm, she sees the opportunity to detract herself from her impeding board meeting and the problem with her roommate. A girl has fallen to her death, and Harley is sure the authorities are missing something. Harley is determined to do anything to find out what happened, including hiding out in small spaces even though she is severely claustrophobic.

But when another girl falls and ends up in the hospital, Harley finds herself in the middle of a serious mystery. With the probation hanging over her and a fashion article due, Harley thinks about backing out. Will Harley be able to stuff herself in yet another uncomfortable space or will this mystery take the lives of more girls?

Join Harley during her freshman year she takes on mysteries around her college town. This is book one in a series of books.
