“No. I thought I’d steal one and drive it into town. Think
anyone will notice?” Graham reached across to unlock the passenger’s-
side door, then pushed it open. “You wouldn’t know
how to hotwire by any chance?”

“I love the hint of copper in your eyes, radiating out like the sun, turning your pupils into an eclipse.' He ran his thumb down my cheekbone. 'The different striations of color, how every band of green is its own unique shade. A shard of a broken Heineken bottle, a blade of grass, moss on a rusty can.'
'Romantic...' I laughed.”

I'm so glad you liked the music in Shadow Hills. I'd love to do a sequel, and I have many ideas and areas I'd like to explore, but there's no official word yet about publication.
Hey Anastasia, I just received the September/October issue of Writer's Digest and saw your blurb in the "Breaking In" section. I just wanted to say congrats!
So um, Skyla11377 was right! I started Shadow Hills around 11pm and could not put it down. Had to force myself! I am up with the baby right now and all I keep thinking about is opening your book lol

Thanks for the friend request. I loved Shadow Hills and want more !
Eeekk!! That would be awesome if you could have a book signing in San Antonio!! I'd be there in a heart beat!! LoL!! And I know your book will do great, I loved it!!

Lacey wrote: "So since you live in Austin do you plan on doing any book signings in San Antonio?!! Please say yes!!!!"I have a signing at Book People on August 28th, but that is in Austin. If Shadow Hills is doing well and I can afford to travel for a signing, I'll do my best to set one up in San Antonio!
So since you live in Austin do you plan on doing any book signings in San Antonio?!! Please say yes!!!!
yay, fellow music geek... I sense the swapping of cds coming on. ;p
I desperately want to read your book and after reading the reviews I am even more impatient hehe. But I have to wait so much longer in my country.

Thank you so much! I have to say I absolutely ADORE your review! I'm kinda obsessed actually. I've read it about five times already---I just makes me grin like a big dweeb.
I know we talked about music after I reviewed Shade, but now you know what a MASSIVE music junkie I am. I'm always on the look out for new bands, so feel free to send me recs of stuff you think I might like!
Anastasia wrote: "Yes, they're all real bands." Awesome. I will have to check it out. I'm impressed lady, it's not often I see bands I don't know.
Also, the book is magnificent... and I have review it on bibliopunkk. I will do my best to handsell the hell out of it in my store. Happy debut!

Krys wrote: "I do have one thing to ask though. There's a lot of music mentioned i..."Yes, they're all real bands. You can find playlists for the different characters at http://www.hopcusblog.com/playlists/. These include many of the songs from the book plus some extras that each character would like. I also have a list somewhere naming all the songs/bands in SH, and when I have a moment, I will find it and post it on the same page with the playlists. I'm so very, very happy that you're enjoying Shadow Hills!
I'm still crushing on the book, about 70 pages away from the end... though I think I have figured out who killed Mr. Carr...I do have one thing to ask though. There's a lot of music mentioned in the book. Much of it I know, some of it I have never heard of. Are they all real bands? I try to make a playlist whenever I get a book that mentions so much music (hence why I love Urban Fantasy titles, they are often included). I'm dumb though, I didn't write things down as I was going and I'm going back now trying to find them. Do you have anything online that shows a playlist or am I SOL?
Thanks.

Hi! Congratulations on the release of Shadow Hills! It's an amazing book and I've fallen in love it!
Hi Anastasia. Did you ever think to write a novel with a background of Fallen Angels... I Think it would be great... :D
Anastasia wrote: "Thanks, Brittany! P.S. I might have to adopt 'phenom' as my new favorite adjective."haha, its one of those addictive words that catch on. and it kind of works for phe because phe is phenom. :)
another word im trying to give momentum to is 'stooge'. that ones just fun to say. so if any one is being negative about your book they are stooges.
good luck with your book and writing!
Thanks, Brittany! P.S. I might have to adopt 'phenom' as my new favorite adjective.
just read chapter one of shadow hills and thought it was phenom. cant wait to read it.
Hi, Camila! I'm so glad you liked the first chapter of Shadow Hills! Yay!

No problem---I really like your blog! (And, for the record, I've noticed the nonexistent transition phenomenon too.)
Of course! I really hope you enjoy Shadow Hills!

Oh my God, you really ARE a YA author! I know a YA author!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!Sorry, this is so cool. I've checked out your website, and your book looks so cool. Can't wait to read it...
