my newest endeavor!

Today I wanted to take a moment and share my newest endeavor with The Indelible crowd!  photo 6f3744fc-309a-44b4-b3f3-71b61869b43e_zpse5a2630d.jpg Although I released "6 Seconds of Life" as my debut last September, "Only in Dreams" was actually the first manuscript I wrote two years ago. After a few unsuccessful attempts at trying to snag an agent with it, I let it sit. And sit. And sit. After I decided to self-publish, I knew I wanted to bring this one out of hiding and breathe new life into it before finally setting it free to the world.
Twenty-year-old Casey Tannenbaum wants nothing more than to get the hell away from her disaster of a life and all of the idiotic mistakes she has made.  It’s only now that she realizes that she probably shouldn’t have fallen for Evan, the hard-partying deadbeat with a penchant for cheating, or let him talk her into sleeping with him when she knew he wanted nothing more from her. But she did. And after making one horrifyingly rash decision that will forever change her life, she decides she doesn’t want to deal with anything anymore. So she does the next best thing—she runs away.    
Casey disappears from her Pennsylvania college campus to Heidelberg—a quaint, fairytale city in Germany for her Junior year.  She does everything in her power to keep her mind off of her previous life: develops a crush on her new best friend, takes advantage of her newly-acquired ability to drink legally, and avoids interacting with her former friends.  And it works.  For a short time, that is.  But when she is faced with the the realization that she can’t hide from the consequences of her decision any longer, Casey’s entire world dissolves into a tornado of emotions, and she’s left with nothing but her haunting nightmares, a few tattered pictures, and the weight of her biggest regret—the one that might drown her if she doesn’t find a way to forgive herself.

I am (hopefully!) releasing the Amazon e-book on May 1st, 2013 with the paperback available shortly afterwards. Putting out a new book is a huge step in the career of any indie author, and I love being able to share this event with others in the field who share the same passion as I do to make indie publishing the best it can be! Thanks for all that you do!

Tammy Hey Tonya. I can't access your actual blog for some reason to read the full posts on it. It loads googles logo and says "404. That’s an error.

The requested URL /2013/04/my-newest-endeavor.html was not found on this server. That’s all we know."

Just letting you know if you don't already. I'd love to read this full post and hope I can get the book in Australia when you publish it!
