Cover Reveal...LUMINOSITY by Stephanie Thomas!

I am so excited to be part of the cover reveal for Entangled Publishing's newest title, LUMINOSITY  by Stephanie Thomas! A HUGE thanks to Stacey at Entangled for doing such an awesome job at spreading the word about their upcoming YA titles (you rock, Stacey!).


Now, without further ado, the LUMINOSITY cover!!




Isn't it beautiful?! I love the glowing white of the model against the dark background, and the hint of what appears to be a dystopian-like cityscape just makes this cover all the more...

A post where I mention I'm going to a little thing called BEA

I tried to get clever with that title, but alas...I failed. 


But you got the point of it, right? You didn't? Oh. Well. Lemme try again.


I'M GOING TO BEA!!
Got it that time? Good.


You read that right...I will be attending BEA in June! I'm so over-the-moon excited to be attending the biggest book event of the year, and cannot wait to rub elbows with other authors and fans of books! To get away for a few days is gonna be heaven, but to spend those few days talking nothing but books and writing and p...

Wanna Party?

You do?! Then you're in luck, because it just so happens that I have the info on the launch party for my debut YA novel, BLOOD BORN!


On April 20th, from 5-7pm, I'll be having a meet & greet/signing (note I did not say reading? Yeah, that's because there will not be a reading!) at The L House in my hometown of Brewton, Alabama (think NYC, but without the size, population, culture or notoriety). I'll be giving away some BLOOD BORN swag (bookmarks, magnets, candy!) and signing books (and taking p...

The year is 2009. Nineteen-year-old Jackson Meyer is a normal guy… he's in college, has a girlfriend… and he can travel back through time. But it's not like the movies – nothing changes in the present after his jumps, there's no space-time continuum issues or broken flux capacitors – it's just harmless fun.

That is… until the day strangers burst in on Jackson and his girlfriend, Holly, and during a struggle with...
