Although I don’t have an exact date for the release of Summer of Gray, I do know that it will be early 2015. I am really excited about this book and I think you will be, too. Exploring Ellie’s tangled web has been a lot of fun, it almost makes me sad to know that her story is a stand-alone book. However, I stand firm on belief that it should remain as a singular book and not a series. It seems that most books these days are part of a trilogy, saga or revisited through the eyes of another character involved. But Summer of Gray is Ellie’s story. Her journey. No one else.

I thought it would be fun to share some quotes a few times a month so you could get to know the characters a bit before the big launch gets here. This week I am thrilled to share one of my favorite quotes from the one and only Ellie Ford.

One of the things I love about Ellie is how witty she is. She can be a little blunt and sometimes speaks before she realizes what she’s even saying, but that’s all a part of her charm. She has just turned eighteen at the start of Summer of Gray and the book takes place during her last summer at home before heading off to college.
