Major update pushed to Amazon for LOST
Hello, everyone!
I apologize for the inconvenience, but I just discovered that two chapters were somehow flipped when I pushed an update to Amazon in the 6-Mar-2013 update to Lost. If you purchased this book through any other source (B&N, Kobo, etc), your copy is unaffected by this issue.
This is a horrendous and unprofessional mistake on my part, and I’ve requested Amazon to push a corrected version to all purchasers. I’ve also corrected the file.
All versions purchased from 16-Mar-2013 onward will be correct. If you would like to do a refund/exchange, please wait until 16-March-2013 to execute it so that you don’t end up with the exact same version.
Again, I’m so sorry that I gave you a flawed copy of the book. I have no idea how I transposed two chapters in the MOBI, but it clearly involves me being an idiot.

Lost pulls from my own personal experiences and those of five others I interviewed as part of the project and wraps all the parts together into what I sincerely hope, in the end, is a beautiful experience for everyone who reads it.Feel free to contact me to talk about anything related to Lost, writing, or… more difficult subjects, even.

Guest Article at Books A La Mode – March 24, 2013!
Hello everyone!
Just popping in to let everyone know that the wonderful and gorgeous Karielle (no flattery there at all! ) has invited me to come write a guest article at her romance review site, Books A La Mode on March 24th.
My article is titled Romance Tips from an Unqualified Expert and it focuses on all the things real romance isn’t compared to the silliness of the genre as well as better ways to find it. What makes me qualified to write this? Nothing. That’s the best part!
Hope you enjoy it!

Lost – Coming in March 2013
Sometimes you need someone else to help you find your way.
When Maria was fifteen, her life was torn apart by a horrible tragedy that she has kept secret for seven years. She withdrew from her friends and family, changed her personality to hide her invisible scars, and let the pain slowly devour her. Now, in her final semester of college, she still struggles against paralyzing fear just trying to speak up in class, and the terror and helplessness linger on in her nightmares.
Across campus, Owen sees his scars in the mirror every morning while he gets ready for class. They remind him of the broken home he left behind, the father he hates and fears, and the little sister he couldn’t protect. Now, in his final semester of college, he is scared that he may have to return to the hell he called home after staying away for almost five years.
When Owen becomes a teaching assistant for one of Maria’s classes, they find themselves irresistibly drawn to each other. As they learn each other’s secrets and grow closer, they realize that although they may be lost, neither one is alone anymore.
This new-adult contemporary romance is recommended for ages 17+ due to sexual content and heavy subject matter.
