MONDAY SANCTUARY: success

Monday's are about Sanctuary, where we find it and where you might find it, too. And, seeing as we're all at some point in the writing journey, I thought maybe seeing one writer's success might help remind you that the struggle pays off, that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and you can bask in it.

Inner Demons--Some people are born with a monster inside of them. Nobody knows this better than Caine McKay, a high school student harboring a dark secret. Those anger issues of his, they’re not only scary—they’re lethal. If Caine loses his temper, he bulks out Mr. Hyde style.

From the Damage--Opposites Attract--

When eight emotionally traumatized teens are reluctantly thrown into group therapy together, nobody wants to spill the inner most secrets that brought them there. But as they turn from dangerous vices to lean on each other, they discover their shared pain.

Kelly Foster's always been reserved and shy, so when she's sent to group therapy and is assigned to be Gage Miller's 'backup buddy', she thinks she's gotten a raw deal. But as she digs deeper beneath his tough surface, she realizes there's much more to him than meets the eye—and she just might like what she sees…

Blatantly sarcastic and rough around the edges, Gage is only in group therapy so he doesn't go to jail. But he isn't your average bad boy—he's a single father desperately trying to shed his sordid past to forge a better future for his daughter. And he's definitely not thrilled to be paired up with Kelly, the preppy snob. But surprisingly, she finds a place in his cold heart, even though he'd never admit it. But when he finally learns the heartbreaking secret that landed her in group therapy, will it bring them together or drive them apart?

Soul of the Sea--

Under the ocean's waves, off the coast of Harmony Harbor a dark secret is about to unfold. Only few know the truth. Only a few know of its existence.

Seventeen-year-old Mykaela Whindom is rescued from the treacherous seas, but finds her best friend didn't survive the tragic accident. It's a secret she's determined to keep. Dylan, the mysterious stranger who rescues Mykaela, hides more than her secret, but it's just a matter of time before his own dark secret is revealed. A secret that is so dark, it may cost Mykaela her life.

The quiet little town of Harmony Harbor is thrown into shock when bodies of young women wash ashore. Some believe it's a serial killer. Dylan knows the truth.

The dark secret of Mykaela's family is revealed, The Hunters. The ones who hunt down and kill Dylan's kind.

Can Dylan outrun his past in time to stop the killings? Or will Mykaela become the next victim in the Souls of the Sea? (series website: www.curseofthesea.com)
