Hi All!

Hope you had a happy 4th! I'm spending the majority of this month holed up writing Book #4, but I do get one crazy night out this month!

If you're in the LA area, I'd love to see you on Thursday July 26th at the:

Teen Author Reading Night

Hope to see you there!

Yes! It's true! For three more days, you can read GOLDEN on PulseIt for FREE! Don't wait, because as a wise poet once said, "Nothing gold can stay."

In just a few weeks, on May 14th to be exact, GOLDEN will hit the shelves and I will hit the road for the second annual SUMMER LOVIN TOUR! I could not be more excited about this tour, as I will be joining Kimberly Derting, Morgan Matson, Shannon Messenger, Sarah Ockler, and Suzanne Young for what promises to be a good time!
