Good question, Ani. I figured it would've been here already. Books usually show up on goodreads automatically, after being published through Amazon. But there might be something I can do manually to expedite the process. I'll look into it ASAP. The Mall was a lot of fun to write, and I hope people enjoy it.
FYI: My next novel, The Holdbacks, will be out by the end of March. It's a YA horror-thriller, if you're into that sort of thing.
Take care!

It's pretty weird.

I'm currently finishing my third novel, a YA horror-thriller with a love story mixed in. (You read that right.) It's called "The Holdbacks." This novel combines elements from two of my favorite movies: The Breakfast Club and 28 Days Later.
Here's the blurb for my forthcoming novel:
"True love meets true horror in this YA thriller... Stevie Myers reports to after-school detention, prepared for sixty minutes of tedium with Spring Valley High's biggest troublemakers. Meanwhile, elsewhere in town, a mysterious pathogen is turning humans into savages. And it's spreading fast. Inside, Stevie relies on a group of students she hardly knows to stay alive. Outside, her boyfriend TJ relies on his wits to reach the girl he loves. While all around them, the world is falling apart."

I've always been intrigued by the idea of combining several different sub-genres of horror within the same novel. But for the longest time, I just couldn't make it work. I started, and later abandoned, several novels that just didn't do it for me. Then I got the idea for Purgatory, a reality TV show where death-row inmates struggle to survive on an island full of horrors. The story evolved from there. Like most novels, this one is the product of many overlapping influences. There's a bit of The Running Man in there, along with The Island of Dr. Moreau, and even The Hunger Games.
