About JC Morrows
JC Morrows is the bestselling author of the young adult dystopian series: Order of the MoonStone and the post-apocalyptic Frozen World series. A believer in sharing knowledge, JC is passionate about both stoking the creative fire in young minds and doing everything she can to help authors of all experience levels excel.
A true storyteller, JC is one of those authors who grew up thinking it was perfectly normal to make up wild and fantastic tales, talk to people who weren't there, and look at the world from a perspective that no one else understood.
Now she happily spends most of her time living in a fantasy world of her own making. She regales those around her with tales of aliens and villains, epic wars and war-torn kingdoms struggling to rebuild - and whenever possible, she gets those stories down on paper (or on her computer at least) so that one day... she can share them with you as well. And she still sees the world in a way that makes sense to no one else, but that's OK because she is a teller of tales, a dreamer of dreams, a traveler of made-up worlds!
When JC is not writing her fantastical tales, she can be found hanging with friends on FACEBOOK @JC.Morrows.Author, INSTAGRAM @JCMorrows, TWITTER @JCMorrows, and GOODREADS @JCMorrows.

Will the two of them be able to find a way to bring down Kayden's former employers?
Will Kayden's unusual charm help them to find an ally where there was none?

Or has it . . . ?
When a young prince makes the decision to ignore a certain young lady with red hair and a fiery temper to match, will he seal his fate?
Or will a moonlit ball, and a special dress bring the two of them together again - with life . . . not death . . . in mind?
Author's Note: This short story takes place toward the end of book 1 of the Order of the MoonStone series. There will be spoilers for anyone who has not read "A Reluctant Assassin".
HER MISSION IS COMPLETE - AND HER HEART IS EMPTY.
HOW WILL SHE GO ON?
When she fell in love with her target, Kayden realized she could not fulfill her mission. And, no one could have predicted that her decision to share the truth with Prince Dvarius would lead them to the alter — much less to tragedy...
Now, Kayden — who never imagined herself as royalty. . . much less as Queen. . . is left with the responsibility that should have rested on her beloved's crowned head.
Ruling, with the Kingdom in mourning — and a madman still at large — is certainly not what she had in mind when she began her assignment.
Will she have enough time on the throne to find out if she can do the job that Dvarius was certain she was made for? Or will Drey move in on the palace — and her — now that he finally has what he wanted. . .
DON'T MISS THIS THRILLING FINALE TO THE ORDER OF THE MOONSTONE SERIES!

Kayden never thought of herself as the Belle of the ball, but she finds herself in the royal palace, surrounded by society darlings - and the only thing she has in common with them is that they're all vying for the Prince. They're after his crown. She's after his head.
Her mission was simple — get close to the Prince, and kill him. . .
Kayden entered the palace under a lie, one designed to get her close to the Prince. On the outside, she may look like a princess but beneath the mask, a killer lays in wait — for the perfect moment.
Dvarius was not ready to take the crown, nor was he ready for a wife . . .
But due to his father’s unexpected death and an archaic law — he must find a bride before he is allowed to take his rightful place on the throne.
And the one woman he wants — just might be the one who is there to kill him…
The palace is scrambling to recover from a brutal assault . . . the country is in disarray . . . and the royal security team is on edge like never before.
Kayden entered the palace under a lie . . . a lie that has now been exposed.
And now . . .
Prince Dvarius has to decide what to do with his reluctant assassin.

Dvarius thought his mind was made up - but will he have the resolve to see it through?
Between attacks from outside the palace - and within, will the Prince live long enough to choose his Queen?
And will Kayden choose to follow her head . . . or her heart, knowing that her decision could very well make her a target as well!

It’s crazy enough to find out, the hard way, that you are not who you thought you were.
But to have that kind of bombshell dropped on you, and then — to have your Dad ditch you — leaving you to figure stuff out all by yourself, with a Mom you can’t tell anything about what’s going on. . . and school enemies lurking around unexpected corners.
I mean. . . come on. It’s summer!
Between trying to keep a tight grip on my sanity, not to mention my new crazy alien powers, dealing with Ashley and her band of terrible teens, not knowing if I still have a best friend or not is just the straw I do not need to be saddled with this summer.
Is it any wonder I feel like I just might lose it any second! And if I do. . . well, keeping the secret from Mom will be the least of my problems!
Book two of the Tales of a Teenage Alien Human Hybrid series.
A FROZEN WORLD. . . where rule number one is to be inside the gates before they close at night - or die.
Eve watched the gates close—with her father on the outside—so that should be the easiest thing in the world for her to remember.
But life is not always simple.
Life does not always go as planned.
Now Eve is in a race against time, discovery, and danger around every corner—to find a truth that has been hidden. . . for years.
A truth Eve's father forfeit his life to protect her from.
Readers have compared Life After E.L.E. to "The Day After Tomorrow", "The Hunger Games" and The "Divergent" series.
Can you imagine how it feels to wake up one day and find out that you are not who you thought you were?
If you're anything like me, you know it's hard enough trying to fit in—in high school—without having to deal with the knowledge that your dad is an alien part of the time. I don't even get how you can be an alien part of the time. . .
Not to mention all of the crazy new alien gifts you really wish you could return.
Oh well, at least I have an explanation for the blue hair.
So, not only do I get to deal with school bullies this fall, who I'm apparently not allowed to use my new abilities on, I have to keep anyone from finding out my secret. . . and keep my grades up.
Could life get any crazier!
Book one of the Tales of a Teenage Alien Human Hybrid series
Whether your story takes a different direction than you had intended or your life does, it's best to just go with it. Otherwise, you could end up blocked... or stuck...
It might not be the end of the world for everyone. It might not even be a bother for most people. But, for authors, it is a big deal. Mostly because our fictional worlds are our life, our livelihood, our link to sanity.
Maybe that's just me...
So, when life throws you a curve, you either catch it or you get hit by it. That's how I ended up writing something completely unexpected... after the publisher made it unbearably clear they have no further interest in my contributions to the series they've essentially run into the ground.
And then the curve came... What do I do? I write, of course.
Chapter 5 of the serial: Seeing is Not Believing by JC Morrows.
