That Night - Only 99 Cents!
My YA realistic drama, That Night, is 99 cents! Not sure how long it will be on sale, but it is available from all ebook retailers at this low price. Reviewers have said it is a good fit for readers of Thirteen Reasons Why and Before I Fall.
What are reviewers saying about That Night? The most recent review:
"Loss is difficult to deal with. Everyone must choose their own path toward acceptance, and that path is never an easy one. This book follows that path for three friends, trying to make sense of their friend’s untimely death, and how that affects them for the rest of their lives.
This novel is rich in retrospection and internal conflict. It explores the emotions and understanding of support, acceptance, and building a new life after trauma.
I appreciated the flash-back method of telling the backstory. Sometimes it was a little difficult to keep track of the timeline, but not so difficult as to mar the story.
I feel as if this novel could be incredibly useful in helping young adults deal with their grief in this day of senseless violence and sudden loss. Recent upsurges in opioid addictions, school shootings, and other tragedies have highlighted the need of work such as this. Through art, pain can be healed."

A Harvest of Stars - Great New Review, Still Only 99 Cents!
Yesterday a wonderful reader, Joseph, posted a great review of A Harvest of Stars here and on Amazon Canada, and had this to say about this short novel:
"I simply barreled through this read in a matter of a few hours, just could not put it down. Something that is unusual for me as I always have way too many things on the go. I just kept coming back to it because I was so intrigued. Unique and engrossing throughout - I completely enjoyed this book."
A Harvest of Stars is still only 99 cents, and for those who have been asking, the sequel, Starlight will release later this year. After Starlight's e-release, there will be a paperback release with both titles in one volume, and a special surprise, as well as giveaways.
You can look for that special edition release close to Christmas - I can't wait to share it with you all!
