Lost

Penelope Pawn had an addiction. Sure, she liked candy, and sword fighting shadows, and boys, but something was seriously wrong with her, and she couldn't put her finger on it. Being homeless wasn't as bad for her as it was for most. She had a way of collecting kids that turned into family, like brothers and sisters. Unfortunately, every time another kid agreed to come with her to the hiding place she'd created, a rush of power would surge through her like she'd consumed a drug, sealed a deal, or done something terribly wrong. There was one guy though, who wouldn't come. When Terek showed up at her doorstep, a place well hidden from most others, and demanded she heed his warning, it was the first time she feared the strength of an enemy. Was he a challenge that could become her savior, revealing to her the truth of her past? Could this boy show her how to repair the fiber of the world she'd unknowingly ripped apart, causing a catastrophic end to the home she'd built for herself and the lost ones? Coming books in the series Frigid (2026) and Unlucky (2026). Misfits is a spin off series based on LM Preston's Vigilant series. LM. Preston was born and raised in Washington, DC. An avid reader, she loved to create poetry and short-stories as a young girl. With a thirst for knowledge she attended college at Bowie State University, and worked in the IT field as a Techie and Educator for over sixteen years. She started writing science fiction under the encouragement of her husband who was a Sci-Fi buff and her four kids. Her first published novel, Explorer X - Alpha was the beginning of her obsessive desire to write and create stories of young people who overcome unbelievable odds. She loves to write while on the porch watching her kids play or when she is traveling, which is another passion that encouraged her writing.
