Fake Out

FAKE OUT is a romantic mystery novel about a high school couple whose love and loyalty are put to the test when artificial intelligence is used to destroy their relationship. Someone is manipulating images of David Woods to make it look like he's engaging in illegal acts and spreading them all over social media. Since the images seem real he gets in trouble with his school and faces suspension. But things get worse when a doctored video is circulated showing David engaged in a sex act with his ex, the "queen" of the school. Unsure what-or who-to believe, his current girlfriend, Blair Evans is ultra-conflicted. She desperately wants to trust David, but she's seen the evidence with her own eyes. And the school has no tolerance for David's indiscretions either, increasing his punishment to expulsion. How can Blair figure out if their whole relationship is built on lies or if David is really telling the truth? Could it be a deepfake, as he claims? And if he is sincere, then who is behind the plan to destroy his life . . . and why? FAKE OUT is a standalone sequel to the award-winning novel ICE QUEEN, a contemporary Mean Girls tale about sexting, cyberbullying, and dating in the digital age.
