Okay, it might seem a bit odd to celebrate Easter by giving away free copies of a book about a young witch, but then again, spring brings out one's inner witch, doesn't it? All the blossoms exploding as if by magic; the painted eggs celebrating fertility; the general air of possibility, that anything-can-happen sense of wonder.

In honor of spring, I'm offering Audrey's Guide to Witchcraft Free... Read more of this blog post »

"It's so beautifully written--one gorgeous scene after another--but the plot didn't quite have enough umph for me. Still, she's an amazing writer."

“I despise the rituals of fake friendship. I wish we could just claw each other's eyes out and call it a day; instead we put on huge radiant smiles and spout compliments until our teeth hurt from the saccharine sweetness of it all.”
Jody Gehrman, Babe in Boyland

“Are you mad?" I ask.
"I was." He glances at the ceiling then back at me. "Or confused, anyway. The whole thing threw me through for a loop. I thought I'd finally met a guy at Underwood I could relate to, and it turns out he wasn't a guy at all."
I swallow. "I can see how that would be weird."
"In a way though, I was relieved."
"Relieved?" I echo. "Why?"
He looks around embarrased. "Let's just say you had me questioning my sexual orientation.”
Jody Gehrman, Babe in Boyland

“I tried all kinds of approaches: sexy, friendly, intimidating—nothing worked. I’m starting to think there’s an invisible force field that prevents honest communication between X and Y chromosomes.”
Jody Gehrman, Babe in Boyland

Rachel Hi Jody, thanks for the friend request. Special occasion, you're my 100th friend! I'm looking forward to reading Babe in Boyland, such good things have been said about it. Looking forward to chatting with you. :)


Brooke Hi Jody!

Thank you very much for your kind words! It was my pleasure to review Babe In Boyland, I absolutely adored it. I found myself chuckling at work when reading on my lunch break, I got some strange stares but they were well worth it ;o) I LOVE the Hardback cover too! Lime Green!!

I cannot wait to read more of your work!

Brooke :o)


Wendy Darling Hi Jody--thanks for the friendvite! I enjoyed reading Babe in Boyland immensely, so I'm glad to be in touch. Look forward to seeing what you're working on (and reading) next!


liTTleTalks Hey Jody!!!
I just wanted to know if you will be continuing the triple shot betty series??? Thanks sooo much- Ur fan Zainab


Kathrin Stacked'n'Painted Hey Jody,
thanks for the nice words about my review! I have to get my hands on your other books, but first I need to work through the mile-high stack of books for next semester's university courses :)

The "author question" is mostly because I keep getting friend requests by authors who want to promote books that are waaaaay out of my range of interests. It's more a precaution that anything else. I hope it doesn't sound weird or anything?
Kathrin
