So I'm having another baby ...

ADD ME TO GOODREADS!
... a book baby, of course!

(Gotcha! You were thinking, "She has kids?" weren't ya, admit it :-)

I'm really excited to announce that I have another novel coming out November 1st! This baby has been hanging around, whining, for about two years. It's been through the agent hunt rigmarole and experienced a couple of "I'm totally scoring this agent", moments. But, as usual, it comes shooting out the other end of the cybersphere with "They love me, but they don't know how to sell me," written on its forehead.

Story of my life.
But I'm not disappointed. Why?

Because I get to bring this baby into the world myself through Vine Leaves Press! (Which is now an official, legit, small press, btw, run by me and Dawn.)

And I'm super excited about it. I won't say too much about it now, except that I've sent it off for a final proofread with the amazing C.S Lakin, and then I'll be getting an ARC prepared for those interested in reviewing one. (If you're interested in reviewing an ARC, just tell me in a comment in this post and I'll write your name on my list.)

So what is the novel about, you ask?

Why not take a gander at this?



Have a great week everyone! I'm pumped and motivated. Are you pumped and motivated? What's your reason?

    So happy for you! The trailer came out amazing!! Please add me to the list of ARC reviewers. And, I have been so stinking busy this summer with work that I haven't been able to write my review for The Book, but I will very soon. It was a vivid and emotional read -- very original. Congrats on it and on bringing BLOP to our shelves!!!
