My Favorite Books of 2013, a Giveaway, and Who I MUST Read in 2014

Wow! What a year. My life was turned upside down (in a great way) in 2013 and I'm looking forward to what 2014 may bring. The only downside to my writing career is that I have less time to read. That being said, I did manage to squeeze in a few reading binges in between manuscript revisions and copy edits.
I read some fantastic books/series this year and I want five lucky winners to enjoy print copies of these books. Below are the books included in the giveaway. They are all exceptionally wel...

You know how you've had to wait for my books to hit the book store shelves after the ebook version has released? Well, Atria Books has decided to release FIVE WAYS TO FALL in all formats at the same time!


While I'm thrilled about this, it does mean something has to change. Namely, the original release date for the ebook.We will have to push it out by a few months in order to accommodate all the behind-the-scenes magic that's required when getting a print book onto the shelf. The new release...

So I have some news...

It's Friday! Okay, that's not my news but it IS fantastic news.

My news is that I will be publishing another four book contemporary New Adult series with Atria Books. It's an edgy idea that hit me this past summer and I'm dying to begin writing the first book, Burying Water.

When will that happen? Well, I'm working on Five Ways to Fall right now (the last book in the Ten Tiny Breaths series). Once that is done, I am writing the last book in my YA Fan...

And the title for Ben's book (#4 in the Ten Tiny Breaths series) is...

FIVE WAYS TO FALL  If you're thinking that it's about five ways to fall in love, you obviously don't know me very well. This WAS a reader submission to the book four title contest. I changed the number BUT I am most definitely giving due credit for inspiring it. That person is Candy Ly. Thank you, Candy! And thank you to all of the readers for their input. We had a ton of submissions, including a few entertaining and oddly fitting ones from my...

Toronto Signing Event: October 5th, 2013. I'll be there!

It's almost here! The Toronto signing is this weekend at the Westin Harbour Castle.  I will be there with my amazing table assistant, Liis. Look for the table with absolutely no signage. That's me.

TEN TINY BREATHS released in paperback on 9/24 and should be in your bookstores (if you can't find it, ask a store representative.) That being said, I will have a very limited number of copies available at my table. I ordered them off of Amazon (you can thank Liis for that because I'd...

Ten Tiny Breaths Releases in paperback! Plus giveaways, book-naming opportunity, upcoming signings, info on purchasing signed books

Ten Tiny Breaths hits bookshelves today! I will always remember September 24th as the day this little story that I had to write a year ago hit bookstore shelves. I feel so lucky every day. Lucky that I know wonderful bloggers who helped spread the word; lucky that I have supportive readers who jumped at the chance to read it; lucky that my agent, Stacey, and my publicist, Kelly, agreed to work with me; lucky that an editor at Atria Books decided to pick up TTB as one of her...
