Pinhole: Spying on the Neighbor

If you like Romance even if it's girl crushes, you might like my newest little Coming of Age ebook short story. A group of young teen girls consider themselves a secret society. With each initiation a girl goes goes through, the popular leader tells her a new secret about Wren. 

Wren lives at the top of the hill at the end of the road -- alone. And she obviously doesn't care about fitting in: the girls have photos. Originally published in the Gothic anthology, Strange Little Girls, there are some Gothic Romance elements in Pinhole: Spying on the Neighbor, just like there are in my other Romance books -- Encore and Floating on Secrets. With Gothic Romance, the love interest is distant and usually lives in an odd place -- Wren lives in the house at the top of the hill at the end of the road alone. The protagonist is usually the only POV character in a Gothic Romance, which is different from the conventions of other Romance. The love interest often seems to perhaps have otherworldly powers, eccentric and macabre behaviors, an unapproachable personality and is filled with secrets. The protagonist isn't sure if the love interest is the good guy or the bad guy for a long time.
