Here is where you'll find all of my novels. Genre-wise, they run the board from fantasy (The Greenstone Trilogy, my major project and eventually three novels) to contemporary romance (Morning View, more of a novella, and Pacific Coast Highway, still in progress), though nothing is straight fantasy or straight romance or straight anything. Anyway, a little more detail on what you'll find:
The Greenstone Trilogy, comprised of Isle of Greenstone, The Second Solroi, and Echoes of Greenstone. These novels are set in a fantasy world and incorporate romance, action, and intrigue. Each book centers on different generations of the same family in a distant, mythical past, and on the Greenstone, which is an emerald that brings peace to the world and power to its owner. The adventure of retrieving it, and the adventures it causes afterwards, are the basis for the trilogy. Isle is in progress; Second and Echoes are in the planning stages only.
Morning View was written for the CD into Stories Contest, where it won third place. The chapter titles (and certain references within the novella) are taken from Morning View by Incubus. The genre is mainly romance, though told from the guy's perspective and therefore somewhat different from what you'd find at grocery store checkouts. Derek's lies and cheating heart cause the only girl he's ever loved, Amanda, to leave him. So he does the only thing he can do: enlist his best friend to help him win her back. This novella is complete start to finish, though it is in need of major revision and may be expanded later into a full-scale novel.
Pacific Coast Highway was also inspired by a CD and entered into a later round of the CD into Stories Contest, where it won second place. The inspiration and chapter titles here are taken from Blue by Third Eye Blind. Again, this is a romance told mostly from the man's perspective, though this book has more comedy and complication than the previous one. Jonathan is our protagonist, and when his relationship with Vanessa ends, he begins a new romance with a new woman, Abby. But things with Vanessa aren't over, as Jonathan will soon discover. This novel is currently in progress but has somewhat been put on a back burner while I focus on Isle. I will come back to finish it, probably when I find myself stalled on my other projects.
The Jessi and Jason Files, I'll let you discover for yourself.  The first chapter is open for anyone's reading pleasure; if you're interested in Jessi and Jason's continuing saga, let me know. Please note, there is an age requirement on this novel: CHILDREN UNDER 17 NEED NOT APPLY!
If these descriptions pique your interest, please fill out "Paige's Novel Idea Mailing List"  , which will indicate your interest to me. I will then email you the passkey to the novel(s) of your choice, as well as the link to the first chapter(s). (In the case of Second or Echoes, which have not yet been started, I will keep a record of your interest and send you the appropriate information as it is available.) Your valuable comments will be rewarded; if you are interested in only casual reading, please look elsewhere until these novels are finally finished and published.
Thanks in advance for all your help!
