Blog postHello, Reader-Friends!!!
I'm just getting back from Spring Break, and while I was driving 12 hours south to visit family and friends, I renewed my LOVE for audiobooks!!!
They're also fantastic for when you're lying around by the pool or the beach and either don't want to hold a book or eReader or just want to close your eyes....
I have SIX Audiobooks--WOW!
Want to check them out? Here you go--->

Blog postThe Truth About Letting Go, is on sale for 99 Cents this week/weekend (FREE in Kindle Unlimited). It's been three years since I wrote the story, but I still remember the emotions behind it so well.
I've never lost a parent, but at the time I was going grieving a different sort of loss. My life had taken a turn I never anticipated, and I was reeling with the pain of it, trying to understand why God would do this to me and my little family.
I won't go into details, but I' -

Blog postLaunching a new book is exciting and terrifying and always FUN!
The last time I went through this was June 30, 2014, with Mosaic, and I pretty much did it by myself. Haha!
This go-round I've teamed up with Inspired Kathy and YA Bound, two great services I've known since I released The Truth About Faking in Sept 2012. Basically, I love these guys!
If you missed it, Behind the Stars rolled out as a serialized novel on November 9. The first episode "Captive&q -
Blog postHappy New Year, reader-friends!
I hope you're having a wonderful time with family and friends. I know I am. My little ladies are home, and we've been going to movies, eating out, wishing the sunshine would reappear in the great Midwest...

Blog postMerry Christmas, reader-friends!
I hope you're all enjoying this time with family and/or friends. I'm actually unplugged for the week to spend this time with my little brood. It's crazy and a little scary with a new release on the horizon, but it's important to me.
I'm sure y'all know my new book Behind the Stars releases in eBook format on Dec. 31. You can pre-order it now, and if you like print books, the paperback edition is out NOW! If you want it for Christmas, it' -
Blog postHappy Monday, reader-friends!
I confess, it's a little surreal for me getting Behind the Stars into the world.
I finished BTS Spring 2012 doing a "30-day Writing Challenge" with my buddy Janet Sumner Johnson, of the Hackey Sack Club.
I was a traditional author at the time, so I took it with me to the state SCBWI convention. I showed it to some editors who liked it very much, then it went to my literary agent along with The Truth About Faking and Rouge. -

Blog postTime flies when you're having fun...
It's hard to believe FOUR years ago, I met Lenny Lee (link), an eleven year-old boy who liked playing outside, raccoons, and writing, and whose icon was (and is) a happy sunshine.
Lenny was dealing with health problems, and his family wasn't sure he'd survive them. Fast-forward to today, and here we are celebrating--Lenny Lee is FIFTEEN! Holy driver's license!
We're all just -
Blog postHappy Wednesday, reader-friends! Today I've got TWO fab author-friends here to help you get your Steampunk on, and you can WIN!!!
Gear up for GEARS OF BRASS!
A world like ours, but filled with gears of brass, where the beating heart is fueled by steam and the simplest creation is a complex clockwork device.
Within this tome, you’ll find steampunk fairy tale re-tellings, as well as original stories that w -
Blog postGUESS THE TRUE STATEMENT & WIN JESSICA BELL'S THRILLER, WHITE LADY! (Statement #46)
To celebrate the release of Jessica Bell's latest novel, WHITE LADY, she is giving away an e-copy (mobi, ePub, or PDF) to the first person to correctly guess the one true statement in the three statements below.
To clarify, two statements are lies, and one is true:
The following is a line from the book:
a. I envision the look of calm on a dead face, relax my jaw, -
Blog postReader-friends! I hope you're doing FAB!
I'm hard at work on my next release--an action-adventure story set in the deep woods of south-Mississippi.
If you'd like a sneak-peek, the first chapter draft is up on Wattpad here: http://www.wattpad.com/story/4328563-21-days-work-in-progress
My Target release date is December 29. I need a title for it. #conundrum
In the meantime, I've put Undertow on sale for 99 cents!
I know, "T -
Blog postTwo years ago, I hit "publish" on my very first novel--a sweet YA romance with heart and a little message about tolerance.
I've noted in other places it was partly inspired by the movie Clueless, and entirely inspired by my love of romantic comedy. So today I'm wishing a....
BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! To The Truth About Faking!
And it's ON SALE for only 99 Cents right now!
I have always loved Jason & Harley and Harley's harebrained view of the world. I can -
Blog postIf you've kept up with this blog since the beginning, you know I'm a crazy movie-buff.
My maternal grandmother, who we called "Bobie," loved movies, and she got me started watching them with the old noir detective films.
These old movie posters are amazing.My best memory is of watching The Big Sleep with her, and I've seen it so many times since, I can practically quote the whole thing.
It's also cool that William Faulkner was one of the screenwri -
Blog postI always have this period about two weeks after I release a new book--after all the tours and blitzes have died down--when my brain just goes on ADD mode.
Seriously.
It's like I can't concentrate on a thing--I have rebellious teenager brain. LOL!
Maybe because writing a book requires such a long period of intense concentration or something? All I know is I have to just let it decompress.
The letdown period.
In other news, I'm waiting on the printer's proof of M -
Blog postI'm deep in the cave, reader-friends, working hard to finish this last book in The Dragonfly Series!
Mosaic is coming right along. I was telling a friend how one of my favorite scenes so far is when Lucy is so angry, she starts throwing her dinner at Will... one side dish at a time. (LOL!)
Ahh, this installment has TONS of Drama, and I can't WAIT to share it with you.
I've got a lot of ground to cover, but the Release Date is Set:

Blog postHey, reader-friends!
The good news, which I know you'll be glad to hear, is I'm in the writing cave working hard to finish Mosaic for June!
The bad news is I'm going to have to put the blog on a mini-break in the meantime until I finish.
I'll update with the cover reveal as soon as I have it, but in the meantime, all my writing energy is focused on getting this last book in the series out.
I know you understand, and trust me, I see your emails, -
Blog postYes, Alice, I'm a day late...
I was at the Louisville Authors Event in Kentucky this weekend, so yesterday was a foggy, dig-out day. But I wouldn't change a thing! LAE 2014 was a blast.
Compared to other events, it was relatively small. The turnout was moderate, but for me, the point was getting to spend time with author-friends I know and getting to meet author-friends I've only ever "known" online!
For writers out there trying to decide if they -
Blog postShew, reader-friends! The first day back to work after vacation is always the hardest.
Last week, the fam and I drove due south and spent six days rambling around Baldwin County, Ala., also known as the setting of The Dragonfly Series.
Since we lived there almost ten years, we've got many friends and favorite locations.
Dragonfly was the very first book I ever wrote, and since I was learning, I thought it would be easier to have all the action occur in a ve -
Blog postIt's Spring Break, reader-friends! whoop whoop!!!
I'm still in the Midwest at the moment, but my Southern home-fries are enjoying 70 degree sunshine (my dad told me he had to cut the grass yesterday--!), and we're looking forward to hitting the road, chasing the sun!
Incidentally, I'll be spending the week right smack in the setting of The Dragonfly Series! Yep, OBA FTW! Mosaic is cruising along nicely, and it's looking like a May/June release date...
I'll be post -
Blog postHappy St. Patrick's Day!!!
Too bad the fun is on a Monday, but that's okay. We can still celebrate!
I'm in the writing cave, so basically I've just got a bunch of announcements for you here today...
To start off with, FIFTY author-friends (including me) have all banded together to do a HUGE Pinterest Party Giveaway.
On Facebook
It's loads of fun where you re-pin pins and enter to win--did I mention FIFTY books are up for grabs by bestsell -
Blog postHappy Monday, reader-friends!
I don't know about you, but I'm feeling spring on the way... #eeep!
I'll get to this HUGE GIVEAWAY in a second, but first...
You hear me talk a lot about my fab cover designer and amazing writer-friend Jolene Perry...
Well, Jolene is a "hybrid" author, meaning she has both self-published and traditionally published books.
And they're all amazing... go to her website (link) right now and pick -
Blog postTrue Confession time, reader-friends...
I signed up to participate in a blog hop, and I failed to do my assignment. *hangs head in shame*
The lovely and immensely talented Sheri Larsen (link) invited her blogger friends (including me) to watch a Video on Gratitude (link) each day last month and take notes on how our attitudes changed. Or just our findings in general.
Can I just say, I'm GRATEFUL that Sheri is as kind and understanding as she is. She's an am -
Blog postSorry, this post is not about The Onion (link)--the satirical newspaper. Instead, I was thinking this morning about craft and writing and my own evolution as a writer.
Coming from a journalism background, my biggest challenge as a novelist was slowing down. I'd been trained to get to the point fast. Give the most important point first. Don't bury the lede! No extraneous details, no side-trips into smells or tastes...
I know. Some feature writers flower their prose a bit -
Blog postValentine's weekend was cold and snowy here... actually, so was yesterday. I'm starting to think JRM secretly moved me to Siberia instead of the Midwest... (Midwest Siberia?)
So let's keep things WARM with some of the love-teasers I was posting on my Facebook page this weekend...
