A Driver’s Ed scandal. Family issues at home. V is on the case again, even if it’s just to get out of the house.

V is fifteen and can’t wait to learn how to drive. But her parents are too busy with their own problems to bother to teach her. So when a guy at school tells her about a new driver’s training course, she doesn’t hesitate to sign up, even if it sounds a little shady. A rash of break-ins hit the neighborhood, and the Driver’s Ed teacher seems to have something to do with it. V is asked to call on her novice detective skills once again.

Now that her mom’s cancer is in remission and her best friend is back, will V be able to live a normal teenage life? Or will she get in over her head, sucked into a case beyond anything she could possibly imagine?

Bright Stars picks up a year after Glass Stars, in the Chronicles of V, a young adult contemporary fiction series. If you like gutsy teen detectives, à la Veronica Mars or Nancy Drew, you’ll love Tasche Laine’s page-turning adventure.





Tasche Laine was born in Wichita, Kansas, grew up in the Pacific Northwest, and has visited most of the United States and a few countries (she loves to travel).


 After college and numerous jobs, including a stint as a TV news reporter, Tasche settled in sunny southern California, where she raised her daughter and taught child actors as a studio teacher in Hollywood, as well as middle school and high school English.


After raising her daughter, Tasche rediscovered her passion for writing and moved back to her roots. She says it’s easier to write when it’s raining than when it’s sunny. Her first book, CLOSURE, won an award in recognition of excellence in writing for Readers’ Favorite in 2018. It is a fictional memoir based on her life. She switched gears with her novel, CHAMELEON, taking the same main character on a high steaks, fictitious roller coaster ride, thus amping up her ‘normal’ life to thriller status. CHAMELEON was a 2020 Book Excellence Awards Winner for Female Empowerment in fiction.


From there, Tasche began her Young Adult series, CHRONICLES OF V. Then she met the love of her life and started a new journey, co-authoring the Lil Peter children’s book series with her husband. Peter and Tasche live in the Pacific Northwest with their puppy, Story. To view their children’s books, go to lilpeterbooks.com.


Tasche is also a full-time book editor at Skye Blue Press.
