Ten
After Closing
by
Jessica Bayliss
Genre:
YA Thriller
10PM:
Closing time at Café Flores. The door should be locked, but it
isn't, Scott Bradley and Winsome Sommervil are about to become
hostages.
TEN
MINUTES BEFORE CLOSING: Scott's girlfriend breaks up with him in the
café's basement storeroom because he's late picking her up for the
big end-of-the-year party. Now he can't go to the party, but he can't
go home, either--not knowing his dad will still be in a drunken rage.
Meanwhile, Winny wanted one night to let loose, away from her
mother's crushing expectations. Instead, she's stranded at the café
after her best friend ditches her in a misguided attempt at
matchmaking.
TEN
MINUTES AFTER CLOSING: The first gunshot is fired. Someone's dead.
And if Winny, Scott, and the rest of the hostages don't come up with
a plan soon, they may not live to see morning.
Told
from both Winny and Scott's perspectives, and alternating between the
events leading up to and following the hold-up, Ten
After Closing is
an explosive story of teens wrestling with their own challenges,
thrown into circumstances that will test their very limits.

her passion for writing with her love of psychology.
