California Blend Summer Vacation is the first book of this series.
As book one it introduces the three main characters: Tori Logan, AJ Reynolds and Kalea Kinimaka.
It’s summer vacation, and all seventeen-year-old Tori Logan wants to do is hang out with her two best friends, practice her mixed martial arts and go to FBI spy camp. Summer means freedom (mostly from adults) and Tori plans to fill every spare moment of her last summer before graduating from High School with all the fun things she and her best pals can come up with.
The Heart’s Journey Home Book CoverTori, whose mom died of breast cancer when she was young, has always relied on her own strength to get by – especially because her Archeologist father tends to leave her behind with his live-in girlfriend while he gallivants around the world on digs. Thankfully, Tori can take care of herself. She knows exactly who she is and what she wants to do with her life. Her Lakota Sioux grandfather, a former Navy SEAL, trained Tori in self-defense from a young age. Now, as a teenager, Tori excels at mixed martial arts and the use of various weapons. During the summer she will be attending an FBI sponsored Summer Camp which she hopes will lead to her dream job – becoming an FBI serial killer profiler.
With her two best friends at her side, Tori believes she can handle anything. And with summer vacation stretching before them, the trio plans to find plenty of adventure.
But while Tori is determined to be independent, life has other plans for this fierce young woman, and they include coming to grips with some hard – and surprising – truths about both her past and her future.

Nikki
Jackson considers herself to be an Indie Writer, Journeyman and
Traveler. She's camped out in the Grand Canyon just to see the sunrise
over a stupendous backdrop and she yet dreams to travel to
Mount Everest, not to climb any part of it but to simply stand at the
North Base Camp and take it all in, in person. Nikki's love of adventure
was inspired at an early age at the local library where she spent
summers reading about young travelers going cross-country and around the
world. She loved the adventures that took her out of the bottom bunk of
her bed (her favorite reading spot) and had her soaring across the
clouds to lands filled with wonderful and diverse people. It was then
and there Nikki decided she wanted to be a writer - she wanted to have
the same effect on people reading books had on her. The Heart's Journey
Home is the beginning of the adventure.
