GIRLS ON FIRE by Robin Wasserman

Every parent knows their teenage daughter has secrets - but some secrets are beyond their wildest imaginings... This is not a story of bad things happening to bad girls. I say this because I know you, Dex, and I know how you think.   I'm going to tell you a story, and this time, i…

Revision Plan Complete!

So. Here we are, two weeks later . And fast approaching the end of May. Yikes.  I'm not happy about how quickly this year is moving. O_o Last Friday I completed the third draft of my 1980's YA novel. Yay. I ended up cutting a bunch of words. Well, to be honest, I delet…

So, I got my rights back...

Yep. That's right. Remember that book I was really excited about contracting with Samhain Publishing last year ? It was called RAISING SOME HELL and had an awesome cover made by the brilliant Kanaxa . RSH also happens to be the second book in the Elsewhere duology. The first…

WHISPER TO ME by Nick Lake

'I love you. I'm sorry for what I did to you. I'm going to write it all down, explain everything that happened, why I broke your heart, and then I'm going to email it to you. I will be waiting for you at 5 p.m. Friday by the windmill hole at the crazy golf at the Pier w…

This week, I have a plan!

So. A new week is here. After a super busy weekend, which included lining up early in the morning for Free Comic Book Day , this week I've decided to tackle the third draft revision of my 1980s YA novel. Yep. And I started yesterday. I managed to revise 33/289 pages. That…

RETURN TO THE DARK HOUSE by Laurie Faria Stolarz

Return to the Dark House by Laurie Faria Stolarz My rating: 5 of 5 stars I loved the first Dark House book, so when the library got this in for me, I couldn't wait to read it. Two months have passed since Ivy survived the nightmarish events that the Nightmare Elf put…

BLOOD AND SALT by Kim Liggett

Blood and Salt by Kim Liggett My rating: 3 of 5 stars I've had my eye on this book since I first heard about it. The concept: Children of the Corn meets Romeo and Juliet really grabbed me because it sounded super creepy. So I was really happy when our local library ordere…

I'm still here!

And it's about time I popped in, right? :P See this picture? That's me as a Mii . Hubby introduced me to the Miitomo app  and I have a lot of fun changing her outfits. Plus making cute/cool pictures I can post on Twitter. As well as here. This one seemed very appropriate …

Whoever is born here, is doomed to stay until death. Whoever comes to stay, never leaves.   Welcome to Black Spring, the seemingly picturesque Hudson Valley town haunted by the Black Rock Witch, a seventeenth-century woman whose eyes and mouth are sewn shut. Blind and silenced, sh…
