***NEW RELEASE***
Looking for something new to read?

Sage Bisby is a normal fifteen year old, or so she thinks. A typical day involves texting her friends, avoiding Tyson and his gang of thugs, and blasting hip hop from her electric violin. But what Sage doesn't know is that her smokin' YouTube videos are famous all over the Universe.

When word comes down from the Committee of Highly Evolved Galaxies that the humans on Earth are to be eliminated for their appalling treatment of the planet and each other, a galaxy-wide chain reaction starts that rocks Sage from the tips of her fingers to the soles of her purple leather high tops.
