Author: Lisa Bailey
Genre: YA, sci-fi/fantasy
Summary: Sebastian Altredes is the heir of the powerful Altredes Family and has been ordered by his father to represent the Altredes in their alliance with the up and coming Mercana Family. Only the man the world knows as “Sebastian Altredes” is really Sabrina Altredes, a woman forced to take the place of her twin brother after he fled from his responsibilities.

Maple Leaf: Stage 1. #amwriting

Currently working on “Maple Leaf: Stage 1.” This is a project that leaves me feeling incredibly hopeful about the world and life in general. It’s much lighter than what I usually go for and it makes me feel as though I’ve in someway been carried back to a more innocent time.

Nadia–a girl with a secret past she’s trying to forget.
Bran–incredibly poor, he has big dreams for a much better future.
Winter–she never thought she would have to get over her first love.
Jason–all he’d ever wanted was a family; a group of people that would love him.
Freya–she’s always gotten her own way, and she’s not going to let that change now.
Benjamin–he was just doing a favor; he never expected for things to go so wrong.
Tia–being kidnapped was the most terrifying experience she’s ever had. She just wished it was over already.
