Book 1
The Tracks Series

It’s tough being a teenager anywhere, but especially in a place where something sinister is going on and kids must use martial arts and newly acquired supernatural powers to fight dark forces taking over their town.

Star-crossed love and ancient evil meet in the deceptively quaint village of Middleburg. The last thing Ignacio expects to find, when his parents move him there from South Central Los Angeles, is a gang war—but the posh, preppie Toppers and the working-class Flatliners do not take up guns and knives to settle disputes. Instead they use deadly martial arts. When Raphael, leader of the Flatliners, falls in love with Topper girl Aimee, they must prepare for all-out war.

Divided by a set of mystical, abandoned railroad tracks that form a giant X at the edge of town, they are as likely to end up in a parallel dimension as they are in study hall or gym class. This award-winning YA fantasy adventure includes class-crossed sweethearts, teens with family issues, an all-knowing sensei, time travel, fallen angels and monsters in the basement.
