T-Minus Two Days!

So, STORM FALL comes out on Tuesday! TUESDAY. To celebrate, I'm going to share a little teaser each day this week! Plus, I've got a BIG giveaway starting tomorrow...and all sorts of other fun events on different sites.

Tomorrow you can find me on the Reddit YA Writers subgroup for an "ask me anything"!

And now, without further ado, a teaser!

There's a Map!

So, as a scifi/fantasy fan, I think this is SUPER cool....the talented team at Alloy made a MAP of Atalanta! Seriously, seeing a visual representation of my made-up world has got to be one of the neatest things to happen so far on my publishing journey. Makes it feel so REAL. I mean - look! There's a map! :-D

I hope this will come in handy as you read Rebel Wing and Storm Fall! I believe the map will be included in Storm Fall when it releases, hopefully also in Rebel Wing as well, though I'm n...

For those who read Shattered Veil...

Hello lovely readers! I have a message for those of you who read Shattered Veil before its Rebel Wing update. In the revision process with Alloy, a few things changed. Most of it was a question of streamlining and tightening, but there were a couple changes that may make Storm Fall a little confusing to folks who read the original indie version. So, here are a couple things to look out for! Of course, I recommend checking out the fully edited and updated Rebel Wing, so you don't miss anything...

The Big Reveal!!

At long last, I can share with you the title AND cover for the sequel to REBEL WING! I AM SO EXCITED!! I think I might actually love this cover MORE than Rebel Wing's, if that's possible. I love the ominous feel of the sky, and the...oh well, I don't want to ruin it. ;-)

Click on the teaser image below to see the full cover and read about what's in store for Aris and Galena (slight spoilers for book 2 and larger ones for Rebel Wing ahead!)

I'm also THRILLED to announce book 2 has a release date...

KATE TRIUMPH BLITZ!

Today I’m excited to be part of Shari Arnold’s book blitz for KATE TRIUMPH, her first novel!

I was fortunate enough to meet Shari through Absolute Write a few years ago and we became fast friends and critique partners, even meeting in person not that long afterwards.

I am so so excited that her book KATE TRIUMPH is finally out in the world! I love this book: there’s so much action and swoony romance, and some great family dynamics and intrigue. It’s amazing and you should totally read it! Here’...

Cover Love: KATE TRIUMPH!

It gives me incredible pleasure to show off the cover of Shari Arnold's amazing novel KATE TRIUMPH. Shari's been my critique partner for nearly five years now and her stuff is AWESOME. I am SO excited that Kate and her story are making their way into the world!

So, without further ado.........

Normal is so overrated. At least that's what seventeen-year-old Kate Triumph tells herself everyday. But the truth is she lives in constant fear that someone will discover how not normal she really is. Wi...

By Blood is now an audiobook!

Happy Monday, lovely readers! I'm popping out of the revision cave for a moment to chat. The sequel to Rebel Wing is coming along nicely and I am hoping to soon have a title and cover to reveal! (I know the title. It's awesome. Yay! Sorry I can't share yet.) And mark your calendars, because the book itself will be arriving on Kindles everywhere in December (exact date to come very shortly!). I know those of you who read the original "Shattered Veil" version have been waiting a long time, and...

Rebel Wing Gets a New Face!

Heya! Sorry it's been ages since I blogged - I've been hard at work on the sequel to REBEL WING, which should be coming out in December! My deadline for this round of edits is Monday so I'm still in the thick of it, but I wanted to pop in to announce that REBEL WING has a gorgeous new cover!

Eee!! I love it so much! I loved the last one too, but I think this one fits the vibe of the book a little better. While it IS scifi, the heart of the story is about a girl making big choices for love...an...

The Story Behind the Story

Phew! It's been a busy week! Between celebrating the big REBEL WING launch, and frantically trying to finish the first draft of its sequel (I have DEADLINES now, y'all!), I feel like the proverbial headless chicken. But I wanted to take a minute and tell you a little more about how my book deal came about, because folks have been asking...and it's a fun story. :-)

First of all, a little recap of my publishing journey to date: back in 2009, I wrote Moon Child. Found representation pretty quickl...
