HOOKED EVER AFTER

Hooked Ever After Hooked Ever After is a special short story that I wrote for a celebration held by the Prisoners of Print blog. The story takes place after the end of Hooked and gives a little insight into what happens with Cat and Huck after their happy ending. Of course it's sexy and snarky and everything you loved about the characters in the original story. Check it out on Wattpad and let me know what you think! read the story


DARK WILD REWRITE

Dark Wild Rewrite Dark Wild Rewrite is fanfic based on Dark Wild Night by Christina Lauren. I wrote it as part of a fanfic contest, the challenge being the story had to be less than 1,500 words. Later, I discovered that I was ineligible to win since I had self-published books. But...I really loved how this story turned out so I wanted to share. I took the roles of Oliver and Lola, switched them, and then tossed the characters into their own comic book world. Enjoy! read the story

DEVIATION WON FIRST PLACE IN READER VIEWS LITERARY AWARDS FOR YOUNG ADULT NOVELS, AGES 15-18!

What Reader Views had to say about Deviation:

Reader Views Award The story line was well thought out, unique, romantic, descriptive, suspenseful, and unsuspecting, leaving me pondering what was going to happen next and even rooting for Cleo and Ozzy to get together. Within the first day of picking up the book, I had already read 200 or so pages, and only put the book down because I’d gotten drowsy and didn’t want to wake up and forget what I had read the night before.

“Deviation” was all I expected and more. Christine Manzari is one of those authors where in just the first few pages of the book you know she was born to write. It is authors like Mrs. Manzari who give me the craving to read, to become an author. “Deviation” is definitely one of my new favorite books, and Christine Manzari is unquestionably one of my new favorite authors. My only regret was having read “Deviation” so soon, because now that I’ve fallen in love I can barely wait for book number 2 of the Sophisticates to come out!
