Happy Birthday, Lenny Lee!!!

Time flies when you're having fun...

It's hard to believe FOUR years ago, I met Lenny Lee (link), an eleven year-old boy who liked playing outside, raccoons, and writing, and whose icon was (and is) a happy sunshine. 

Lenny was dealing with health problems, and his family wasn't sure he'd survive them. Fast-forward to today, and here we are celebrating--Lenny Lee is FIFTEEN! Holy driver's license! 

We're all just celebrating and doing the happy dance!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Lenny!!! 

*throws confetti*

You're no longer playing with toy cars... soon you'll be racing your own! (Ha ha--just teasing!)

Have a great day, my YA friend, and a super week, reader- and writer-friends! Hop back tomorrow for another important announcement... #squee

Happy (Book) Birthday SALE!

Two years ago, I hit "publish" on my very first novel--a sweet YA romance with heart and a little message about tolerance.

I've noted in other places it was partly inspired by the movie Clueless, and entirely inspired by my love of romantic comedy. So today I'm wishing a....

BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! To The Truth About Faking!

And it's ON SALE for only 99 Cents right now!

I have always loved Jason & Harley and Harley's harebrained view of the world. I can't even express how happy it made me that thousands of readers loved them too. To date, Faking has sold more than 44,000 copies worldwide!

Something I haven't publicized is that all profits from The Truth About Faking since Day 1 were donated to charity. Every ebook, print book, audiobook, whatever--I only keep what's needed to cover production costs.

Originally, it was whatever needed help--from hurricane relief to Samaritan funds, to individuals I knew about who were struggling. For the past year, I've focused on The Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana--Click here for about that. (What a coincidence, today kicks off Hunger Action Month! Click here for info about that.)

I used to tease that here's how you know God has a sense of humor: My biggest seller is the book I dedicated to charity. Ha! No, the Truth is (*wink*), I've been extremely blessed in my publishing career, and I'm glad to have been in a position to help others in need.

YOU have been a part of that if you've bought the book, so Thank You, too!

I'll wrap it up now, but if you haven't read Faking, I hope you'll give it a shot! If you have, you can give it as a gift. And even when the sale ends, the giving continues. So grab your copy today~

Thanks for reading--I appreciate all of you~

Happy Birthday FAKING! Come #WIN Presents!!!

It's hard to believe one year ago today The Truth About Faking went live on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords, Kobo...

I was so inexperienced, I didn't know how to get it on iTunes because I didn't have a Mac. (It's there now!)

I was able to make paperbacks thanks to my background in publishing...

It's now in audiobook format (link)...

Many great books came out around the same time, and I was proud to share a spot in Amazon's Top Ten with them. Honestly, I didn't think anybody other than my parents, close family, and a few close friends would buy my book.

In one year, my first little book has sold more than 40,000 copies worldwide.

That's seriously hard for me to believe, reader-friends. It makes me a little teary-eyed, and so so thankful to you, to God, to my family and friends. It's been a wild, fun learning experience, and NONE of it would be possible without YOU!

So to celebrate, I'm giving YOU Birthday Presents! Some great writer-friends are joining me to celebrate, and you have TEN chances to WIN!

It's my way of saying a HUGE THANK YOU!!! 

For reading, smiling, swooning, supporting, and making this publishing journey of mine so fun and interesting.

MUAH!!!

Amazon | Barnes & Noble

(I confess... I still *snorggle* every time I read Harley's line, "You showed up here ... and hit me with your car..." --LOL!

And to everyone who's asked, the answer is YES! I will write another "Truth" book--possibly by January if I can get my ducks in a row.)
