Sneak peak at WHEN ZOEY FELL TOO FAR

I've been excitedly working on a new book, called WHEN ZOEY FELL TOO FAR. This one is a little different than my typical romance story. While they're still PLENTY of romance, (I promise!) this one has a main character who is dealing with being bullied at school and deciding to "find herself" when it comes to dating guys. 
The cover reveal will be soon, but for now, here's the description:

Zoey Caplan has led a sheltered life, but it’s never really bothered her. In fact, she just went on a date with a super hot senior, thank you very much. But what she thought was a fun date leads to a new nickname on the school’s unofficial Dis List: Biggest Prude. Maybe if she wasn’t such a pathetically good rule follower, she could get her name off the list. Maybe, just maybe, if Zoey started living less like an old lady and more like a seventeen-year-old girl, she could experience high school like everyone else does.

Fed up with being a loser, Zoey decides to experience all the things she’s missed out on over the years: parties, underage drinking, ditching class, and most off all, hooking up. Guys seem to love the attention she gives them, all except for Jonah Thedford. The gorgeous bad boy can flirt better than anyone but he’s the only guy immune to Zoey’s charms. And yeah, he’s the one she truly wants, but in order to stop being a prude, Zoey gives her affection to other guys instead.
It turns out that crossing over to the dark side is easy. Almost too easy. The moment Zoey’s name drops off the Dis List, it’s added right back.

As Biggest Slut.
If she wants to make things right again, she’ll have to change a few things in her new crazy life. Luckily, Jonah is more than willing to help her.

When Zoey Fell Too Far will be released on October 18th, 2016. You can add it to Goodreads now.

It’s the start of summer and Josh Graham will be working at his parent’s surf shop. When his best friend Colby goes on vacation, Josh is stuck working with Bryce—and all of Bryce’s terrible ideas for summer. They make a list of what the “perfect girlfriend” would be like, and now they plan to find her. It shouldn’t be too hard, since Josh is one of the hottest, most popular guys in school. Right? 

Bess Navarre would rather read a book than go outside. She’s chubby, dorky, and a self-proclaimed loser. But when her grandmother volunteers her to work at a boutique on the beach, Bess has to comply, no matter how humiliating it is. Bikinis and Bess do not go together, and now she feels even dorkier than ever. 

When Bess and Josh’s paths collide, sparks fly. But it won’t be that easy. Bryce wants Josh to date a supermodel. And although Bess might just fit all of the things on Josh’s list, she won’t give herself a chance to figure it out. 

From the bestselling author of Summer Unplugged and Ella's Twisted Senior Year, In Every Way is a young adult romance told in dual point of view. Contains mild profanity and romantic scenes.

The more reviews a book has, the more Amazon promotes it to new users so people are more likely to find my books if they have more reviews. A simple "This book was great" works! It doesn't have to be a long review at all.

In October, I have a new book coming out called WHEN ZOEY FELL TOO FAR, and I'm really really excited about it. The cover will be revealed soon!

Cover Reveal - In Every Way

Isn't it pretty?
I have to give a huge thanks to Beetiful Book Covers for this lovely design. I loveeeee this book cover! In Every Way is a companion novel to In Plain Sight, which means it's set in the same world, but it's about Josh (Colby's best friend) and Bess, the girl he falls for. I had a lot of fun writing this book, and it deals with issues of self esteem and popularity. This book comes out Sept. 13th 2016 but it's up for pre-order now.
Here's the official book summary:
It’s the start of summer and Josh Graham will be working at his parent’s surf shop.

What's up next?

I hope you're all enjoying my new books! After Jett's series, I thought I'd branch off into something new because I've been excited to work on new characters and stretch my abilities as a writer. My newest release, In Plain Sight, is the first in a series of three books that are all about different characters in the same world. 

You can read the first couple of chapters for free here:



The second book in this series is called In Every Way, and it will be released September 13th. Preorder info and the book cover will be revealed soon. 

The third book is currently untitled and will release around November.

I also have a fun Back to School sale going on soon. From August 15-19th, Believe in Me will be FREE on Amazon Kindle! This is a great chance to read the book if you haven't yet! 

Also, there will be one more book in Jett's series, and I'm super excited about it! It'll be a Christmas novella, releasing on December 1st. 

So that's it! I have 3 new books planned for you all for the rest of the year, but knowing me, I might end up writing more. Most of what I write has been because of my readers asking for it, so if you have any book requests, now is the time to let me know!

IN PLAIN SIGHT RELEASE DAY!

My next book is here and I'm so excited for it! For one, this is my first book with a cover designed by Beetiful Book covers, and it is SO pretty!

This book is about Maddie and Colby, two new characters in a whole new series. This is the start of a trilogy that will each be about another couple who are all friends with the first two characters.

When her mom moves in with her rich new fiancé, Maddie Sinclair’s life goes from trailer parks and thrift stores to a pampered life of luxury on the rich side of town. Her soon-to-be stepdad gives Maddie and her siblings everything they could want, including unlimited access to a credit card. Maddie transforms into a new person over Spring Break. 
What she doesn’t expect is that everyone thinks she is a new student. Maddie’s new sports car and designer clothes draw in the mean girls, who are nice girls to her now. Boys want her attention and girls want to be her friend. Maddie finds herself crushing hard on Colby Jensen, and for the first time ever, the popular guy actually likes her back. 
Colby Jensen grew up in his brother’s shadow. His parents expect him to be the best even though they’re struggling to get the bills paid while maintaining the façade of a perfect life. Colby is sick of pretending like everything is perfect, and he is totally over dating stuck up princesses at school. Then he meets Maddie and wonders where she’s been all his life. She’s genuine and makes him laugh. When he’s around her, he can forget about the drama at home. 
Just when things are becoming perfect, a secret from Maddie’s past emerges, threatening to destroy her popularity and everything she’s become. Maddie knows Colby wouldn’t want anything to do with who she used to be. Colby just wishes she’d give him a chance.
