Going Wild, the first book in my new series, is on-sale in stores and online this week! Check out the trailer here to learn more about Charlie Wilde and her strange new animal superpowers.

I’d love to take a photo with you and sign your books (feel free to bring any that you already own, and pick up the new one at the bookstore where I’ll be).

New Series Coming Feb 7, 2017
Ten years after Alex and Aaron Stowe brought peace to Quill and Artimé, their younger twin sisters journey beyond the islands in this first novel of a new sequel series to The Unwanteds, which Kirkus Reviews called “The Hunger Games meets Harry Potter.”
Identical twins Fifer and Thisbe Stowe have amazing yet uncontrollable magical abilities. They’re naturally more gifted than even their brother, Alex, the head mage of Artimé, could hope to be. But when they accidentally use their magic in the jungle of Artimé to strike down a beloved creature, Alex is furious, and threatens to lock them away until they can learn to control their power.
The threat is soon forgotten, though, when Hux, the ice blue dragon, comes to Artimé bearing the horrible news that his siblings have been enslaved by the notoriously evil Revinir, ruler of the dragon land.
Seeking a chance to right their wrong and escape their brother’s wrath, Thisbe, Fifer, and their friend Seth sneak away to rescue the dragons from grave peril. Will their untrained abilities be enough to save the dragons—and themselves—when they come face-to-face with the Revinir?

Pre-order ISLAND OF GRAVES & get your free prize pack!
It’s tradition! We’ve put together our sixth awesome Unwanteds goody bag for you to help you celebrate book six in The Unwanteds series, coming September 15. There’s a new limited edition postcard with artwork that will be revealed soon (and it’s autographed by me), a tiny gorilla (to go with your Kitten and Panther), Island of Graves sticker, a bookmark, and a special surprise.
Tiny gorillas!
All you have to do is pre-order Island of Graves from a participating store and you’ll get the bag of goodies (while supplies last). All the participating stores are listed here with links to pre-order the book online (or just call the store).
If none of these stores are near you, you can still order from them–they’ll ship it to you. If you’d like your copy of Island of Graves to be autographed, just order from my local bookstore, Changing Hands by September 10— I’ll be autographing those pre-orders before I leave for tour.
Click here for a list of participating stores!
Place your order now to get your prize pack before they run out!
And stay tuned for tour information–I just might be coming to a city near you in September.
