blurb: High school senior and newly minted basketball team captain Niall Daniels is on track to play D1 basketball at his parents' alma mater next fall. When a snap decision and an snapped Achilles tendon leave him sidelined, Niall is, against all odds, relieved. Now the pressure's on to whip the basketball team into shape and give them a fighting chance at a winning season. Along the way, Niall will have to grapple with foraging a path forward for himself that doesn't give him anxiety, prioritizing himself and what he wants, and finally learning to trust the music in his heart.

genre: NA sporty romance (feat. a dual timeline if i can make it work lol)
blurb: NCAA hockey star and NHL prospect Silas Cross doesn't have anything against love. If anything, love doesn't like him. It doesn't like always coming second to hockey, and it doesn't like that he can always tell when girls are only into him for the promise of a big shot hockey career with a huge paycheck, and it doesn't like his sneaking suspicion that he's doomed to turn into his parents. (It also doesn't like the whole "keeping it publicly under wraps that he's a trans man until further notice" thing, but it'll have to get in line.)
Silas doesn't have crushes, and he doesn't go on dates, and he doesn't fall in love. But when he keeps finding himself face-to-face with a cheerleader with long long legs and a megawatt smile that makes all her game day stunts look as effortless as breathing, he starts to consider changing his tune.

genre: college-leaning YA contemporary mystery
blurb: Ivy Starling was eight years old when her older sister left home. For years she's trusted her mother's depiction of her former sibling despite its stark contrast to the two good memories of her sister that she clutches onto. After finding a collection of video diaries on her sister's old iPod Touch while packing for college that shed a new light on the day she left, Ivy sets off to find her estranged sister and discover the truth.
