Welcome to the world, FLASHBACK!
Well, it’s finally here. The moment when store shelves get filled with shiny hardcovers and pre-orders ship and ebooks download and my precious book baby stops being mine.
It’s a moment I’ve lived through ten times now (HOW IS THIS MY TENTH BOOK???) and yet it’s still a head-spinning mix of excitement and panic. Because I want you guys to love this book so badly.
I hope it was worth all these months of waiting. And I want you all to know how much it means to me to have you stick with me–and Sophie–on this incredible journey we’re on. I wouldn’t have this job without you, dear readers. With every single piece of my heart, I thank you.
And now, I step back and let FLASHBACK become *yours*. Happy reading!
Here are some handy links to retailers (in case you feel like buying a copy):
(*coughs* shameless author *coughs*)
Amazon
Barnes and Noble
Books-a-Million
Google Play
iBooks
Indiebound
The Book Depository
And don’t forget that I’ll be on tour for FLASHBACK this month! Most events do still have some tickets left, so if you haven’t gotten yours yet, head HERE to my events page for dates/times/event info and links to get tickets.
If none of my tour stops are near you, maybe one of the KEEPER Fan Meetups that Barnes & Noble is hosting will work out. Go HERE to learn more about them!
The FLASHBACK Pre-order giveaway has now ended (and swag packs will be sent out by my publisher in the next few weeks. Please be patient with them, they have a *lot* of swag packs to assemble and mail). And if you missed the pre-order giveaway and are still hoping to get your hands on some swaggish goodies, never fear. The special offer from Changing Hands Bookstore is still available through 11/10/18. Go HERE for details!
Lastly, I was finally able to add last year’s Keefe Short Story (from the B&N exclusive edition of NIGHTFALL) to this website. Go HERE and scroll down until you see Keefe’s smiling face and you’ll be able to read all the Keefe and Ro hilarity.
And now, I’d better finish packing for tour and let you guys get busy reading! Hope you enjoy!

You didn't hear me. I said it supports so LITTLE because you are supporting the boy who never knew his mom planted a tracker on him, let her steal his blood and sedate him, ran off to the Neverseen, bartered the real caches, escaped with the wrong ones, has made countless mistakes, and says "don't hate me please" when everyone has every reason to.
It does support so so little. There's nothing that he does that he cannot feel like it is just plain out DIRT TRASH. Now... Fitz has it all. The good looks, the great legacy *but not as good as hamiltons, one might add*, and Sofitz is already official. Natalies', you're going DOWN!
Sofitz-Sophitz-Fitzphie-Cognates
Sokeefe-Team Foster-Keefe-IT DOESN'T ADD UP!
Sokeefe-Team Foster-Keefe-IT DOESN'T ADD UP!
Sofitz+Congates= LoveFOREVERSokeefe-Keefe= Sophie is amazing without him
Sokeefe+ Life= Death of a Sophie

Tracker-Would you have known? Sophie? FITZ? NOW they are aware of tracker possibilities! YAY! They'd be captured/dead without that knowledge.
Blood stealing-HE. WAS. A. BOY. He would NOT have known better from good in that circumstance. He did what his "nice" parent said to. Because of that, they found the Neverseen, and SAVED SOPHIE'S PARENTS!!!!!!
Neverseen-He gained SO MUCH knowledge from that. He taught Sophie so many things from going there, learned about the enemy, AND STILL CAME BACK! (did you not say earlier that YOU were with the Neverseen?)
Caches-Look, they weren't making any progress with those even when they HAD them... did they really matter? NOOOOO!
ESCAPE(even if it is with the wrong caches)-When he escaped, he helped Sophie with countless things with the incident at Lumenaria. She would be in more grief than anyone can concive.
MISTAKES?-He's done almost as much good as bad. Figured out that his mom was bad and STILL fought her. That golden clink clink clink puzzle, HE SOLVED! He brought Sophie back out of her zombie state. And he deserves even more chances, he is great.

I mean... I mean...... Okay, Keefe will ruin. Fitz shall restore.
Exactly my point..keefe will always have more faults!
Fitz found Sophie...without him there probably wouldn't even be a glittery city for the elves.

Name them
Well, why don't you name something that KEEFE created? I mean, Nightfall was sealed by blood and other stuff.

Allow me to repeat my essay!The GOOD to everything you said:
Tracker-Would you have known? Sophie? FITZ? NOW they are aware of tracker possibilities! YAY! They'd be captured/dead without that knowledge.
Blood stealing-HE. WAS. A. BOY. He would NOT have known better from good in that circumstance. He did what his "nice" parent said to. Because of that, they found the Neverseen, and SAVED SOPHIE'S PARENTS!!!!!!
Neverseen-He gained SO MUCH knowledge from that. He taught Sophie so many things from going there, learned about the enemy, AND STILL CAME BACK! (did you not say earlier that YOU were with the Neverseen?)
Caches-Look, they weren't making any progress with those even when they HAD them... did they really matter? NOOOOO!
ESCAPE(even if it is with the wrong caches)-When he escaped, he helped Sophie with countless things with the incident at Lumenaria. She would be in more grief than anyone can concive.
MISTAKES?-He's done almost as much good as bad. Figured out that his mom was bad and STILL fought her. That golden clink clink clink puzzle, HE SOLVED! He brought Sophie back out of her zombie state. And he deserves even more chances, he is great.
Allow me to counter-argue on the wonderfulness of Fitz! My arguments:
Tracker: Just because they found it doesn't mean that it's all okay. That's how the Neverseen found them so quickly in Lodestar, Nightfall, and PART OF Flashback! And whose fault was it? Keefes. DUH.
Blood stealing: If I was him (and unless super little kids/ people 11 or younger are reading this) I wouldn't have done it!! HE. STILL. HAD. A. VOICE. Too bad they don't have a bill of rights like some countries. Well, they didn't find Nightfall because of him. It was the other nightfall. ALL THEY FOUND WAS ALVAR! AND EVEN AFTER THAT, ALVAR BECAME EVIL AGAIN!
Neverseen: HELLO? Knowledge... Was so sadly simple. I mean, like no. Just plain out no. What if they had maybe learned that in other places? Body temp. regulation? They've only been in cold places, like, twice. HE RAN AWAY! HE BARELY GOT OUT! THEY PROBABLY WERE ON TO HIM THE ENTIRE TIME! NOT HELPING. Just because some of us kind of don't hate the Neverseen doesn't mean Keefe getting away wasn't any better.
Caches: THEY BARELY TESTED THE REAL ONES. And now, their worlds most important devices are in the hands of some evil people. The Councilors are going to hate Sophe& the gang when they find out. Plus, if Keefe hadn't joined the Neverseen, they wouldn't have this problem!
ESCAPE: Yeah, yeah. But wasn't that what MR FORKLE (The late one) wanted? Would he have done that if he hadn't been told? If Keefe hadn't joined the Neverseen, he wouldn't need an escape, and also, Keefe kinda caused it. Just a little.
MISTAKES: He's done more bad than good. He didn't bring her out of Zombie state. Dex kinda did. And even then, it's her choice. Just because the puzzle was solved, hey, didn't Sophie solve it correctly?!
BAM! This proves KEEFE is just the worst.
Fitz:
He never had to nor did any of this stuff. So...
YA STILL LIKE KEEFE?

Really? Was it KEEFE'S fault? If that had happened to Fitz would you say the same thing about the tracker? If Fitz was oblivious? (and don't even try to say that he wouldn't be, because we both know he WOULD)

I agree with Marella on the cover, because well, what on earth does she look like? But... NO MORE KEEF!
