Guest Post: Q&A with UPSIDE DOWN author Lia Riley

When Lia Riley, super awesome author of the super awesome book Upside Down, book one of her Off the Map series, announced she was having a blog tour, I shoved my way forward because, girlfriend, yes. Let’s do this. Lia is lovely and charming and clutch-your-sides hilarious and I’ve been ridiculously excited for her book since, well. Ever? Probably ever. And now I get the chance to interrogate interview her! So excite.

1. Tell us about your new book.

A California girl with a secret (okay, fine,...

Losing Streak didn’t save me.

A few days ago I mentioned that I really truly believed I was going to be cooler this go around when it came time for Losing Streak to make its way into readers’s hands. And then it started inching closer and I realized, wait. No. I’m still that twitchy girl prone to pacing and pulling at her hair. Part of it might be my social awkwardness/anxiety. I’m never quite sure what to do when the attention is on me. I’m basically a Ricky Bobby:

With Wild Ones and Bri, I was nervous because I knew my g...

GUEST POST: 10 Things Publication Has Taught Me by Brenda St John Brown

Today I get the pleasure of hosting the lovely Brenda St. John Brown, author of the New Adult Contemporary Romance SWIMMING TO TOKYO. Cards on the table, I absolutely adore Brenda, who is charming and funny and a hell of a writer and gal. I had the opportunity to read STT early and y'all. Y'ALL. Listen. Stop. Go pre-order it right now. Trust me on this one, okay? We're talking gorgeously well-developed characters, killer chemistry, a voice that caught my attention on the first page, and a set...

A picsplosion of summer.

​I've been relatively quiet lately, unless, of course, you follow me on Twitter. In which case, you're probably thinking, "actually, I wish you'd maybe think about shutting up." My boys and I are currently at my parents's house, an annual summer thing we've been doing since, well, I moved away from home because I'm a girl who wanders but keeps her people in sight. Last summer, during those weeks when we probably wear out our welcome, we were surrounded by the Smoky Mountains while I paced the...

Attack of the Fangirl: Review + Release Day Blitz for LONDON FALLING by Chanel Cleeton

​
I've really slacked when it comes to writing reviews for the books I read. Mostly because my first instinct is to go Level 12 Fangirl and post a gif-laden write up expressing my every emotion. While fun, that's not exactly professional nor is it constructive.

And yet, that's exactly what I want to do for LONDON FALLING.
I really enjoyed the chemistry between Maggie and Samir in I SEE LONDON and I rooted for this unlikely couple from the first page. The end was a knife in my gut as well as a br...

Letters to the past.

​​​Dearest Teenage Me,

Oh, girlfriend. Having the time of your life over there, aren't you? Of course you are. You're young. You're free. You're mostly independent. A little lost sometimes, maybe, not always quite sure of your next step, but you have ideas and dreams and that's enough for now, isn't it?

It is.
People are gonna try to tell you that it's not. They'll get on your case for being a dreamer and a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pantser. They're gonna tell you that you need plans and not maybe...
