Kit Davenport is impulsive, headstrong, a little too sure of himself, and desperate to get out from under his father’s thumb. Oh—he’s also the son of a Viscount, and days away from marrying a future marchioness.

But Kit doesn’t want to marry and become trapped in his father’s world of white wigs, dull dinner parties, and odious meetings in the House of Lords.

A string of dubious choices lands him on the crew of Captain Reggie Sharpe’s galleon, the Deliverance. There’s just one problem: Kit has no idea they’re pirates.

PS: Kit can’t swim.

Katie Abdou was born and raised in historic coastal Massachusetts, USA—where she cultivated a love of history, the occult, and piracy. Her goal is for her work to be a safe space for teens and young adults to experience both the good and bad in the world by exploring topics of self-discovery, ethnicity, sexuality, found family, and acceptance—with a dash of myth and magic.

72 hours before someone dies, Sydney Hoffman sees a pink neon clock appear over their head.

When a classmate and a teacher tragically die in the same month, the seniors start wearing all black and hosting drunken grief groups, making it impossible for Sydney to ignore the clocks.

Enter transfer student Peter Beckett: outgoing, open, charismatic, and handsome.

When he discovers what Sydney can do, he convinces her that she doesn’t have to handle the clockings alone. The more people they secretly help, the more Sydney starts to believe that maybe she can let go of the memories that haunt her and hold on to Peter instead.

But just when she starts to feel a shred of happiness, the universe delivers a devastating blow that reminds her: death never plays by the rules, but she realizes, she doesn’t have to either.

Darianne Schramm currently lives in a small coastal town in Florida, where she is lucky enough to enjoy long walks on the beach nearly every weekend. She is passionate about centring diverse voices in her novels which reflect her own identity and experiences. She has a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from Elon University and her Masters from the University of Southern California where they reluctantly let her write her thesis on rock and roll lyrics.

And what is simply unnecessary ballast hindering you in your life?
