Coming in April: my new book featured on "Ultimate YA Reading Group"

Hey everyone!  The release sequence of my novels has gotten a little rearranged due to work commitments and illness but the second e-book (my third published novel) is being released April 2 on Kindle and Nook, for starters.  Print editions will come later.

I'll post more in a couple of days but for now, here are a couple of teasers...

--The title is "Chasing the Falls."

--It's a contemporary young adult novel, set in Los Angeles.

Now, a bit of more cool news...

--I'm the April author for Ultimate YA Reading Group!  They'll be posting interviews 'n stuff with me throughout the month, including info about the new book.  So stay tuned to their tumblr and Facebook page!

I'll reveal the fab cover very soon, along with a blurb of the book, and more links - more, more, more!

SHIFT in ABNA!

I'm kind of a little thrilled to say my novel SHIFT, a paranormal story about a girl who can shapeshift (but nothing to do with werewolves!), has advanced to the second round of the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award contest.  There were 5,000 entries in the YA category and 1,000 advanced.  This means that our pitches were successful enough to get past a couple of Amazon editors who were judging.

Next step: excerpt reading by the panel.  Only 250 will move on from there to the Quarterfinal Round.  What, me nervous?  Nah!

Congrats to the other 999 writers too!
