Book 1—ASSURED DESTRUCTION

You can learn a lot about someone looking through their hard drive ...

Sixteen-year-old Jan Rose knows that nothing is ever truly deleted. At least, not from the hard drives she scours to create the online identities she calls the Shadownet.

Hobby? Art form? Sad, pathetic plea to garner friendship, even virtually? Sure, Jan is guilty on all counts. Maybe she’s even addicted to it. It’s an exploration. Everyone has something to hide. The Shadownet’s hard drives are Jan’s secrets. They're stolen from her family’s computer recycling business Assured Destruction. If the police found out, Jan’s family would lose its livelihood.

When the real people behind Shadownet’s hard drives endure vicious cyber attacks, Jan realizes she is responsible. She doesn’t know who is targeting these people or why, but as her life collapses Jan must use all her tech savvy to bring the perpetrators to justice before she becomes the next victim.

“Stewart wasted no time building this incredible story for us. I love our lead character Jan. She has got to be one of my favorite leads.” Diana

“This was a really great book that I would recommend to anyone. I’m heading out now to start the second one.” Shelly

“...if you like computers, a whole funny bunch of avatars arguing through twitter, some crazy spy girl in search of a criminal, some romance and some emotional family resolving then you’re set in this book.” Elen

Book 2—Assured Destruction: SCRIPT KIDDIE

WINNER: Best YA novel at INSPIRE: Toronto International Book Fair

Jan Rose no longer steals data from the old computers she recycles. She doesn't need to. As the newest member of the police department’s High Tech Crime Unit, the laptop of a murderer has landed on her desk. Her job: to profile and expose a killer.

But that’s not all.

A creep lurks in the shadows, stalking a friend, and Jan must stop him before the hunt turns deadly. The clock counts down for Jan to save her friend, her job, her boyfriend--maybe even her life.

“Script Kiddie is even better than Assured Destruction was.” Hercules

“As far as this being the second book it the series it is a standalone novel that is better than the first.” M

“This time, the sequel's equal and in some ways, even better.” Gunnar

Book 3—Assured Destruction: WITH ZOMBIES

Jan Rose may already be expunged from the police department's High Tech Crime Unit. Her mother's hospitalized, and Assured Destruction's on the cusp of bankruptcy. But Jan doesn't wait on anything, she seeks out the customers who used to keep the family business afloat. That's when everything starts to go wrong.

A computer virus--aka the Zombie Worm--threatens not only her school and Shadownet, but the entire city. A skull with a chain running through its socket links a powerful gang to her former customers, and holds the secrets to why her father left and the identity of her mother's boyfriend.

To save her family and the business, Jan must determine who is friend and who is foe. And decide what type of hacker she wishes to become: Gray, white, or black. Not only her life hangs in the balance.
