Starcrossed is her first novel.


Okay, so I woke up this morning to 52 emails. That’s never happened to me before. A lot of it had to do with the bananas response we got from the UK book trailer (which got over 27,000 hits in one day!), but even more had to do with the glowing review I got from the LA Times. http://lat.ms/ilAAPN

“Dreamless,” is slated for May 2012 — not soon enough, as far as I’m concerned. I haven’t wanted a... read more »

Nardos Thank you for accepting me! i love your books and cant wait to see what happen in Goddess!!!!


message 138: by Ashley

Ashley *saw that you accepted my friend request and squealed* Thank you so much!! Your books are so beautiful. When I read Starcrossed I read till about 3 am, and when I got to my college the next day all I could think was “I HAVE to see what happens” So I went to my car and set there and read it till I finished it, and drove right to the book store to get Dreamless. Your books are so amazing I did not care about the people seeing me in my car in the middle of winter reading with my jaw to the floor from shock, crying, and laughing…..my fellow students may think I have an emotional problem after seeing that, but they just don’t know the talented author of such an amazingly captivating book =)


message 137: by Maria

Maria Thank you so much for adding me!! I read your books, including the first chapter of "Goddess" on your blog in about 30 hours and I think they became my favorite books ever! I've never cried that much reading a book and I cried on all of them! They just stole my heart! I'm obsessed! Thank you for writing them, because they're perfect! I'm gonna shut up now. ♥

message 128: by Sydney

Sydney Thank you so much for adding me! I love Starcrossed and Dreamless so much! I couldn't put both of them down when I was reading them. I can't wait until the third book. If Helen doesn't choose Lucas, I'm going to be so sad! We'll see! I can't wait until 2013!

Michele Josephine,
Thank You so much for accepting my friend request. I absolutely loved Starcrossed. I adore greek mythology but you have created an interesting story and characters that are a breath of fresh air, absolutely wonderful. I talked about this book constantly and recommended it to all my friends. I think most of them read it just to shut me up but they couldn't put it down either and were sure glad they read it too. I love those simple "I told you so" moments, don't you. And now my fingers are all a tingle to get a hold of Dreamless. I can't wait.

Thanks, Michele

Zahra Josephine,
I'll admit, I've never really been interested in Greek mythology. I found it pointless and silly. I hated reading about it more than anything else. But when I read all those amazing reviews about your book,Starcrossed, I decided to give it a spin. And let me tell you, I'm extremely glad I did! I loved your book from the very first sentence! I read it all in a day; I just couldn't put it down! Starcrossed was honestly one of the best books I've ever read and I can't wait to read the next one, so hurry up(;

<3, One of your biggest fans :3
