Guys, I am so excited! I know it is like an entire month away, but with Armistice’s release approaching I thought I would do something kind of special and maybe a little … against the grain. So I will be having two pre-release book sales/signings for the local community/anyone who wants to stop in for a visit. And guess what … the first signing is a whole 18 days before the release.

Here’s where you can find me to get Armistice early:

Guys! I’m freaking out a little here! The final draft of Armistice as been sent to the printers for review of the files! I have already had conformation of the interior as being okay. There was a minor tweak that had to be made to the cover, but it is all set now. I can’t wait to see it in my hands. Only a few days away!!!! Watch for a vlog about it. :D. Just so you can see here is the full spread of the cover. I am in love with it! How about you?

With Junie Cauldwell’s 16th birthday comes an unexpected gift—she’s a witch, one in a long line of powerful women who either mastered their magic or fell under its spell. Junie’s mother was one such victim, a spiteful woman who harbors a secret about their extraordinary bloodline.

Social outcast Junie has only ever found comfort in two things; her best friend Miles (a boy who suddenly seems much “friendlier” than ever), and Armistice Manor, a remote hotel run by her vivacious Aunt Melinda....

Please note: This is is a PRE-ORDER your order will be shipped Oct. 28, 2014.

With Junie Cauldwell’s 16th birthday comes an unexpected gift—she’s a witch, one in a long line of women who either mastered their magic or succumbed to the power it offered.

Social outcast Junie has only ever found comfort in two things: her best friend Miles (who’s suddenly “friendlier” than ever), and Armistice Manor, a remote hotel run by her Aunt Melinda. Things are different at Armistice this visit however, and not just because Junie can now bring inanimate objects to life. Unusual gues...

I am so pleased to announce that Armistice is now available for pre-order. If you order through this website before the books release date on Oct. 28 2015, you will receive a signed paperback copy of Armistice! To me that is super exciting. I love pre-ordering books, because when they arrive, you’re like “Whoa someone sent me a package!” and then you open it and you say “Oh I have forgotten about you my precious little morsel of wordy goodness!”

No? That’s just me?…. Oh–… well that’s awkward....

I fell subject to “Dream Casting” recently and I am hooked. I thought I would share with you guys the people I had in mind for Armistice. These are just the most prominent characters.

**Please note I do not own any of these images, while I may have touched some up in photoshop to match my characters, I do not claim to own them. If you are the rightful owner, I would be happy to...

I thought I would show the books I am reading from month to month maybe helping create some author buzz.

Most of these I read interlapping one another. Yes I admit it I am not book monogamous. But one thing I have to say is that though I was reading all four of these books, The Charismatics took the stage. Once I started reading, I could not put it down. It shoved Hollowland to the side, which I can read but it took me some effort to stay focused. I’m not saying it is a bad book, but at the t...
