Book Name: Fiery
Release Date: September 23, 2015
Aiden Adams, a transgender teen, begins writing in a journal when he moves to a new town named Ashmore and begins “passing." He is counting on everyone to believe that he is the every bit the male he appears to be. Writing in his journal helps him unclog his brain as he writes about the daily struggles he faces as a transgender teenager, his painful past that he is trying to forget, the new friends he is making, and the beautiful girl named Abby whom he has fallen in love with. Aiden has already come out to his open-minded mother, but will Abby be just as understanding?
When Aiden loses his journal, he worries that the secret he is trying so desperately to keep will come out. And if it does, how will everyone react? Will Abby be able to cope with everyone knowing that he is transgender? Will his new friends accept Aiden for who he really is—a boy—or will everything fall apart?

Excerpt:
The beautiful
eyes belong to the beautiful girl from the library. The one I notice every day
for one reason or another. The one I sketched on a page in my journal. I’m such
a creep.
“Hi,” she says
loudly.
I take out my
earbuds and turn off my radio that’s still in my pocket. “Hi,” I say back.
She's on one
knee to be eye-level with me, but she spins and sits down beside me, really
close. Wait a minute…
SHE’S GOT ON THE COOLEST BOOTS!
They’re shiny
black leather and they go up to her knees. The bottom of them is a three-inch
platform, all clunky and sexy—I mean cool. She has black skinny jeans tucked
into them.
“I just wanted
to make sure you were alive,” the girl says. “Why are you all the way over here,
by yourself?”
“I don’t know
anyone,” I admit.
She holds out
her right hand. “I’m Abby Abernathy.”
I grasp her
hand. Handshakes are always awkward. Her hand is really warm or mine is really
cold.
“I’m Aiden
Adams.”
“Nice to meet
you—now you know someone.” She smiles.
“I guess I do.”
