Their discovery could change the world forever... In 1947 a spaceship crashed outside Roswell, New Mexico, and the government quickly covered it up. With that, the most famous UFO event in history remained buried. But what if someone smuggled material out from the crash site and decades later it remained hidden in a secret location? And what if a young teenage girl named Melanie Simpson is the only one who can figure out where? Frankie is a normal fourteen-year-old boy, enjoying baseball and pulling pranks, until Melanie moves in next door. She wears sleeveless t-shirts, jeans with holes in the knees, Converse high-top sneakers, and can throw a really mean curveball. None of that stops Frankie from falling for her. But Melanie comes with a mystery; one even she doesn't know exists. Together, with their friend Beanie they pull a hoax that goes terribly wrong, but leads to an amazing discovery. Mel's father had been at the UFO crash in Roswell and smuggled some of the alien material out. He is dead now and it is hidden somewhere. Mel, Frankie and Beanie work to unravel the clues to where. They soon discover others are after it. The Air Force who wants to keep their cover-up secure, and a Russian Agent desperate to get the alien material for the valuable technology he could deliver to his country. It puts them in terrible danger-and only Melanie can find a way out.

Autorenporträt
I love to write. I honed my creative writing skills first while studying creative writing at the San Francisco Art Institute, and then later at the Log Cabin Literary Center in Boise, Idaho with a writing group called the Magnificent Seven. I worked with Kelly Jones (The Woman Who Heard Color, Penguin Group), helping to edit her novel, The Last Madonna, and with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Tony Doerr (All the Light We Cannot See, Simon and Schuster)-both instrumental in developing my craft. I also spent many years as a professional writer/producer in the advertising field for radio, television, and print, having owned an advertising agency at one point. I am a member of SCBWI, Alli (the Alliance of Independent Authors), and NIWA (Northwest Independent Writers Association.Right now, I am nearing the Orion Nebula, conducting a little research for an upcoming Melanie Simpson novel and touring the universe on a spaceship with two of my novel characters, Orbit and Slug (you don't know about them yet, but will). When I finally set my feet on earth again, it will be in Oregon where I live, returning to what I call 'The Writing Cave.' There, under the light of a gooseneck lamp, I will continue to work on Melanie's next great adventure, along with other novels.
