As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn. The blue joy is calling... but can Fresco survive it? "Do you know what happened to you?" Joey's voice broke a little. Fresco shook his head. The kid nodded, like it was no big surprise." Yeah, me either. No one seems to. We just have normal lives, you know? Then suddenly you wake up with this thing eating into you," he swallowed hard, "and that's it. The rest is Wasteland." Seventeen-year-old Fresco Conte is an ordinary All-American kid from an upper middle-class family. He plays football. His girlfriend is a cheerleader. Life is good. Until unexplained things, scary things, start to take him over. Like surviving an accident that should have killed him. Or hearing the thoughts of the people around him whether he wants to or not. When the men in the dark blue coveralls come for him, Fresco is forced into addiction to the blue joy known as Wasteland and set free on the street, with no answers and only his hunger to keep him company. Don't miss the rest of this dark YA urban fantasy series! Wasteland and Diamond City are now available.

Chapter 28: Guinea Pig

It took a long time for Fresco to fall back to sleep, and when he did, his dreams were haunted by Parker. He tossed and turned for a few hours before giving up on rest. He stayed in bed thinking, turning the events of the previous night over and over in his mind. He was sure it would work for her. And she fought so hard... Parker's trust in him was now damaged. He hoped to convince her to try again and not give up. The thought of her being taken by the blue joy and having to join Garris in his hunt for her on the street made his heart ache.

His mind, however, wasn't just focused on the girl he admitted he was falling in love with. His thoughts also drifted to the Diamond City and his vision of Daniel. Fresco had no idea if the dream had meaning. He did know he accomplished what all Wasted kids longed to. He found his way back home. Not only that, he was pretty sure he could do it again any time he wanted.
