STORMRISE Cover Reveal

I'm undone by the beauty of this artwork. And so thankful.

And yes, that's a blurb from TAMORA PIERCE. Which is one of the most humbling and breath-stealing experiences of my journey thus far.

The full blurb: 

“A bold girl, a kingdom under attack, magic everywhere―I devoured it in one sitting! This book is one wild ride!” ―Tamora Pierce

Sometimes I feel my heart will burst.

(And other times, I need intravenous chocolate. But this is not one of those times.)

Fun Little Twitter Contest

Hey, folks!

I came across this ancient book trailer (well, okay, maybe not ANCIENT; it just feels that way) from when I first released AGENT: DEMYSTIFIED...so of course I had to turn it into a contest.

Head over to Twitter and watch the trailer. As soon as you spot my cameo appearance, tweet me using hashtag #authoresstrailer. I'll choose one name from among the tweets to win a 5-page critique.

Here's the tweet:

BLAST FROM THE PAST! Look for my CAMEO APPEARANCE in this book trailer from 2009! https://t.co/chwXtTMveq via @YouTube Tweet me when you find me! I'll choose one random winner from among the tweets to win a 5-PAGE CRITIQUE. Use hashtag #authoresstrailer

I'll choose and announce the winner on Friday!
