The city never ages...

​This week, the lovely KP Simmon and I made a trip to New York for a few meetings (and shopping) about all of our super secret cool stuff. We met with Amy Evans, whom our UtopYA friends should remember, about the world of transmedia, apps, and future-stuff. Obviously, a good time was had by all, as evidenced by these glorious photos.

Tidbits from Book 3...

Since I'm knee deep– opposed to neck deep since I'm not that far–​ into edits for Book 3, I figured some exciting little bites of Survivors quotes would help satiate your hunger for more. Be patient, kids. It will be worth your wait.

Just another Manic Monday...

For a Monday of errands, pilates, editing, and overall busy-ness... comfortable and fabulous outfits are necessary. Like this one...​

POINT OF ORIGIN Available NOW and SO MUCH MORE! (Sorry, I haven't updated in a while!)

Hello to all my Goodreading Friends!

First thing's first. I'M SORRY I haven't been giving this blog the attention it deserves! There have been about 4.2 million things happening in my author/business life recently so it leaves me with little time left for ramblings on Goodreads (which could be to your benefit?).

You probably figured this out already, but today is POINT OF ORIGIN RELEASE DAY! I hope you will all do one or all of these things:

1. Buy POINT OF ORIGIN.
2. Add Point Of Origin to your TBR list.
3. Leave a review once you're finished.
4. Spread the news!
5. Buy The Survivors if you haven't already because it's on sale for 99 CENTS in the Kindle store.

We're currently in the middle of a massive Blog Tour and are giving away lots of signed copies, swag, and other super cool things. If you want to win something, head here for all the opportunities.

There's so much more in the pipeline for THE SURVIVORS world too... more music, more fun, and so much more excitement!

Thanks for sticking with me, kids. And super giant thanks for reading and falling in love with Sadie's world like I did.

Lipstick, Love & Loud Music to you all.

To Salem we go...

This was my second trip to Salem (third if you count that class trip in 6th grade).I went last year to do research for book 2 because there were some things I just needed to experience. My friend Meg (whose name you may recognize from, say, the dedication in The Survivors) took me up there, and we sort of did the whole tourist thing. This time around, we wanted to do some more digging.We saw more places, and then spent time in places like the Danvers Archival Center in the basement of the lib...
