An intriguing villain always has something relatable about them. They might be evil, but they take care of their ailing granny. Or maybe they're rotten to the core except for the fact that they adopt pets with special needs. They could be a horrible

“That was the goth stage, where I decided I'd never get the girl of my dreams because of my scars. Not to mention my hairstyle. (pause) But then she slammed a door handle into my gut. And when a girl does that to a boy, it means she likes him.”

“Cabel: Um, Janie?
Janie: Yesss, Cabel?
Cabel: I have another lie to confess.
Janie: Oh, dear. What is it?
Cabel: I do, actually, know what my GPA is.
Janie: And?
Cabel: And. I have a full-ride scholarship.
Cabel is pushed violently from the beanbag chair. And pounced upon. And told, repeatedly, what a bastard he is.
Janie is told that she will most certainly get a scholarship too, with her grades. Unless she plays hooky with drug dealers.”

“WAKE
Dealing with an alcoholic single mother and endless hours of working at Heather Nursing Home to raise money for college, high-school senior Janie Hannagan doesn’t need more problems. But inexplicably, since she was eight years old, she has been pulled in to people’s dreams, witnessing their recurring fears, fantasies and secrets. Through Miss Stubin at Heather Home, Janie discovers that she is a dream catcher with the ability to help others resolve their haunting dreams. After taking an interest in former bad boy Cabel, she must distinguish between the monster she sees in his nightmares and her romantic feelings for him. And when she learns more about Cabel’s covert identity, Janie just may be able to use her special dream powers to help solve crimes in a suspense-building ending with potential for a sequel. McMann lures teens in by piquing their interest in the mysteries of the unknown, and keeps them with quick-paced, gripping narration and supportive characters.”

thanks for accepting me !
I was actually hoping if you were thinking about writing a fourth book from the wake-series?
I love that series SO much, and I love your writing, I just really hope there will be a fourth book! :(
love
me

The next book I´m going to read is "Wake". I really wanted to read it since I discovered it through the bloggosphere :P
Greetings from Spain.



I'm so excited you are coming to MN on Jan 6! I get to go meet you and listen to you read!! Can't wait!

PS: I'm into writing stories my self, or as you would probably say, I'm an aspiring author. I think your writing styles very captivating!


I am originally from Iran and due to the recent events all my focus has been on the demonstrations. I will try to be back to my wonderful new friends on Goodreads again.

The reason I'm telling you this is because yesterday while I was picking up your book, again I was approached. The lady that came up to me saw your books in my hands and I told her of your kindness and the time that you took for me. She then (being touched also by your story of kindness) bought your books for herself and for her mother; it was her mother's birthday.
So, thank you! And I'm glad to have been able to refer your book!



Keep writing and being amazing !
