Summary: Ade Patience can see the future and it's destroying his life. When the seventeen-year-old Mantlo High School student knocks himself unconscious, he can see days and decades into his own future. Ade's the best of Denver's "divination" underground and eager to join the heralded Mantlo Diviners, a group of similarly enabled teens. Yet, unlike the Diviners, Ade Patience doesn't see the future out of curiosity or good will; Ade gives himself concussions because he's addicted to the high, the Buzz, he gets when he breaks the laws of physics. And while there have been visions he's wanted to change, Ade knows the Rule: You can't change the future, no matter how hard you try. His memory is failing, his grades are in a death spiral, and both Ade's best friend and his shrink are begging him to stop before he kills himself. Ade knows he needs to straighten-out. Luckily, the stunning Vauxhall Rodolfo has just transferred to Mantlo and, as Ade has seen her in a vision two years previously, they're going to fall in love. It's just the motivation Ade needs to kick his habit. Only things are a bit more complicated. Vauxhall has an addiction of her own, and, after a vision in which he sees Vauxhall's close friend, Jimmy, drown while he looks on seemingly too wasted to move, Ade realizes that he must break the one rule he's been told he can't. The pair must overcome their addictions and embrace their love for each other in order to do the impossible: change the future.

Guest Post:
Ten things you need as an author during your writing process.
Thanks for the question, Eleni. Here's a rundown:
1) Music -- if it's not playing, I simply can't write.
2) Commotion -- strange but quiet kills my vibe. The more happening in the room, the better.
5) Books - if I'm not looking something up on the 'net, then I'm browsing a book and getting inspired.
6) A pool - I need to take breaks and swim, helps me focus in on particulars.
7) TV - oddly enough, I really only watch television when I write.
8) Salt - salty foods.
9) Straight back chair - gotta have that spine aligned.
10) And, most importantly, my wife - she's my muse.
Thank you K. Ryer and The Teen Book Scene!
