Sorry I've Been MIA. Blame Finals.

So, long time no read. Sorry bout it. I have been super busy with the release of "Forget Me Not," writing "Morning Glory," my first TV interview, and this thing called college. Stupid college. Why you make me write papers and take finals? Don't you know that I have a trilogy to write? Silly college.

Oh, did I say TV interview? Yes, you can watch me in all my awkward glory here: TV Interview and me being weird.

I have missed this blog and talking with all you lovely readers. I am so thrilled and relieved that "FMN" is finally available for everyone to buy and read. So much has happened that I'm a little overwhelmed by it. I had my first book singing, which is awesomely overwhelmingly crazy. I will attach some photos to this post so you can see my awkwardness and how I sign some books and stuff.

I need to thank my precious sorority sisters Hannah, Audrey, and Kelly for hosting and running the event. It was such a blast and I was only slightly weird that night. Being normal is tough.

Moving on, as soon as I finish up this semester I will be returning home to my precious baby kitten Jasper (he is my writing partner), to my Christmas tree, and to writing.

And then I will finish "Morning Glory" and hopefully send it off to my beta reader, Courtney, and then to my publisher. YAY! The book has been outlined and just needs me to give it some tender loving care and writing time without distraction from this crazy thing called classes. Ha. Ha. Who needs a degree anyway?

And maybe for Christmas,  I will be giving you all a sneak peek to a chapter of "Morning Glory." I guess you all better be good. I'll talk to Santa. We'll see.

Also, there is a giveaway on Goodreads that will start tonight at midnight and go till January 5, 2013 where I will be giving away 2 signed copies of "Forget Me Not." You all should enter and tell your friends and stuff. Pretty please? It's gonna be awesome. I'll even draw you a cat next to my crappy signature.

At least that's what I did for my mom. But really. She handed me her copy and said sign this and draw me a cat. So I drew her a cat. It was pretty legit.

Well anyway, the link to the giveaway is here: Goodreads Giveaway Link

And I think that is all for now. I promise I will be in touch soon. And maybe I'll have a prize for you.


Me signing. With a pink sharpie. Don't judge.

Yes, that is my mother taking a picture of someone taking a picture of the long line. Love it. 

Me and my roommates, Kelly and Sophie!


Me and my Momma! 




And lastly, a video of me reading part of "Forget Me Not." Weird: Me Reading. My voice is funny.

Wait, I'm A Published What?

I'm a published author. Wait, what? Yeah, that's my reaction whenever my brain suddenly realizes that my book, my baby, my heart is going to be published. And be available for the whole world to read. Insert scream of joy and fear now.  Now, don't get me wrong. I am absolutely thrilled, astounded, dumbstruck that someone, anyone, is going to read this book (including my favorite author of all time, but that deserves a blog post of its own). However, the nagging voice in the back of my head still creates numerous doubts, the top one being: everyone will hate it. Of course, this is simply fear of the unknown (the unknown being, I've never been published before and don't know what the heck is going to happen). Yet, the Lord says 365 different times in the Bible "Do not fear." Okay, Lord, I get it. However, I am not so naive to believe that everyone will love it. There are haters out there in the world whose sole purpose in life is to hate on t...

Fan Girl Scream...NOW!

Okay, so you know how I eluded to the fact that my favorite author of all time...ALL TIME (note the excitement with the caps lock) said she was, and I quote, "looking forward" to reading my book? Well, she also read my blog....and LOVED IT! AKJFHADKJFASJFKA TOO MUCH EXCITEMENT! The lovely author, who you all should go out right now and buy all her wonderful books, is Marianne Curley (Seriously, if you need to stop reading to go get her books, then stop and come back. I'll be waiting). I will post a link to her website at the bottom of this post. She is a lovely Australian young adult novelist whose books literally inspired me to read and write. If it wasn't for her books, I probably wouldn't be typing these very words. Her works include "Old Magic" (LOVE!), The Guardians of Time Trilogy, which include "The Named", "The Dark", and "The Key" (LOVE LOVE LOVE!) and her latest work "Hidden" (Book 1 in The Aven...
