Until she finds the first crane.

A mysterious treasure hunt, just like the ones her mother used to send her on, takes Grace on a journey to find home.  And it might just be closer than she thinks.

Amy K. Nichols Author- NOW THAT YOU’RE HERE

NOW THAT YOU’RE HERE

by Amy K. Nichols

Duplexity, Part one

WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE HEARTS BREAK

Danny and Eevee are meant to be together …

Just not in this universe.

Evee Solmon has high school down to a science.  Get the grades.  Get the recommendations.  Get into an Ivy League college, and eventually land a killer job at NASA.

Then Danny Ogden enters the equation.

Danny is a street-smart graffiti artist.  He’s always managed to stay out of serious trouble, but this time he’s out of luck.  One minute he’s running from the cops, and the next, he jolts awake in an unfamiliar body … his own, but different.  Somehow, he’s crossed into a parallel universe.  Now his friends are his enemies, his parents are long dead, and coolheaded Eevee is is not the brazen girl he once kissed back home.  Then again, this Eevee may be his only hope of getting home.

Eevee tells herself she’s only helping him in the name of quantum physics, but there’s something undeniably fascinating about this boy from another dimension … a boy who makes her question who she is, and who she might be in another place and time.

NOW THAT YOU’RE HERE will be published by Knopf on December 9, 2014.
