Which book is in which series?
JUST TO CLARIFY!!!
I know my booklist is confusing because I have so many books out/coming out.
I have TWO series out right now with books coming out for BOTH of those series. I ALSO have a standalone coming out soon. Below breaks down which book is in what series along with release dates:
The TORN Series:
Torn
Twisted
Tainted (Releases Jan 25th)...
The TIES Series:
Shattered Ties
Twisted Ties (February 15th)
Standalone:
Breaking Alexandria (April 1st)
I WILL continue on with the TORN series, but Tainted will be the last book about Chloe and Drake. The next book in that series will be about Logan.
As for the TIES series, Twisted Ties will be the LAST book. I don't have plans for a spin off series right now.
Breaking Alexandria is a standalone. It is unrelated to ANY of my other books.
I hope this helps!!!!

Future Release Dates
ANNOUNCEMENT TIME!
You have all been very patient with me regarding Torn #3's release date.
So... Today I'm going to announce not only Torn #3, but Shattered Ties #2 as well.
Torn #3's title is TAINTED. The release date is January 25th, 2014, exactly one year to the day from when I originally released Torn.
Tainted is a little bit shorter than Torn and Twisted, but not small enough to be a novella. It is broken down into two parts. Part one focuses on the six months in Twisted when Drake and Chloe were apart. (Drake's POV)
Part Two focuses on what happened next. ;)
Part Three is a surprise. :P
Tainted cover reveal is December 14th. I can't wait for you all to see it. :)
_________________________________________
Now, for Shattered Ties #2. I know those of you who have finished Shattered Ties are patiently waiting for the rest of Jesse and Emma's story. You don't have to wait long, I promise.
The title of ST#2 is Twisted Ties.
The release date is March 1st, 2014.
It starts off right where the epilogue left you in Shattered Ties. I think once you read this one, you will understand why I stopped where I did with Shattered Ties.
So, to sum it up-
Tainted - Releases January 25th, 2014.
Twisted Ties - March 1st, 2014.
<3 you all!

The "hidden" message in Shattered Ties.
When I first announced Shattered Ties, I said that I hoped everyone found the "hidden" meaning in it. I use the term hidden loosely because it's pretty obvious for the most part.
I think everyone knows what I was talking about if you've read the book. When I wrote Shattered Ties, I wanted to not only write a love story, but send a message to my readers as well.
In the world we live in today, it is SO easy to feel like you're not good enough. There is always someone out there who is "better" than you. Or at least, it feels like it.
That's just not true. I'm sorry, but it's not. I'm sure there are several people out there giving me a weird look as they read this, but I stand firm on my belief that we are all equal. It doesn't matter how much money you have, where you live, how big your home is, what kind of car you drive, what your family is like, what language you speak, what color your skin is, or what kind of education/job you have.
We are all equal. No one should EVER feel ashamed of who they are or what they have. People tend to look at your material belongings and judge you. I hate that. I. HATE. THAT.
I've grown up my entire life knowing the rumors about West Virginia. I've heard it all - we have no teeth, we don't wear shoes, we live in the mountains, we all carry around banjos while wearing overalls and chewing on a piece of hay. (I tried hay when I was little. Let me just say - I have no idea what cows like about it. Ewwww.)
It used to make me angry, but now I laugh. It's comical when people meet me for the first time and I tell them I'm from WV. (And by the way, West Virginia is a state. It's not part of Virginia.)
We are all created the same. If you take get anything out of Shattered Ties, I hope it's this - Regardless of your circumstances, you should be proud of who you are.
I love every single one of you reading this. So, hold your head up high and tell the world to take their assumptions and shove them right up their... you know.
YOU are worth so much. Never let anyone tell you different.

Shattered Ties Description
Release November 12th, 2013
With a former supermodel mother and a rock-and-roll legend father, Emma Preston has the best of everything. Nothing is as perfect as it seems though. After her parents divorce, she’s forced to live with her mother in a private Santa Monica community. Ignoring their parental roles, her mother becomes more focused on climbing the social ladder while her father is off on tour.
Growing up in a trailer park with his mother, Jesse is used to people looking down on him. When his mother begs him to submit an application for a scholarship to one of Santa Monica’s top private schools, he never expects to actually get it. When he does, he is forced to attend school with a bunch of rich kids. He ignores their stares as they judge him for having tattoos and a less than impressive car. As long as he has his surfboard and the guys at the tattoo shop, he knows he can make it through.
When Jesse shows up on the first day of school, Emma can’t help but be intrigued. Her mother would never approve of Emma talking to someone so poor, but she doesn’t care because something about Jesse draws her to him.
Jesse tries to hate Emma, but he discovers that he can’t resist her. Forced to hide their relationship from Emma’s mother and everyone else around them, things start to fall apart. When Jesse’s friend, Ally, decides to interfere, things go from bad to worse.
Can they survive their first love? Or will they be left with nothing more than shattered ties?
