Teenage author Zoe Phiko presents VIOLET WINTER, her first installment of the "Winter Series" of short novels. Originally started as a highly popular web serial on Quotev, the complete version of VIOLET WINTER is now available as a Kindle eBook and in Paperback. About VIOLET WINTER: New Orleans private investigator Armand Malbeau uncovers the secret life of straight-A high school student Violet Winter, who drowned herself in the Mississippi River. Her grieving parents want answers, but Malbeau's only clues come from anonymous letters containing excerpts of Violet's diary. Violet's voice makes her come alive - and the more Malbeau gets to know her and her teenage friends, the more he unearths the abyss of fragile friendships, abuse, and betrayal. He becomes a life-affirming crusader who tries to teach the values of trust, forgiveness, and family to the friends Violet left behind. Zoe Phiko succeeds in presenting the story with two distinct voices - that of Violet and that of Malbeau. Truly an outstanding achievement and a riveting must-read for teens and their parents alike.
