Last Days... Summer, the Tour, to #WIN

Fall is in the air, friends--can you believe it? I'll just go on record and say I do NOT. This has been the fastest summer evah!

It started with the Dragonfly release, then the SFINE author event, which was Awesome--visiting with great friends Jolene Perry, Bethany Lopez, Aleatha Romig, Ashley Wilcox... I need to share pictures... #comingsoon!

I also had the privilege of doing a library workshop in Fairhope, near my old hometown, and the local bookstore there is carrying signed copies of all my paperbacks now. #cool #humbling

The Undertow Tour has been a great success! Today's the final day, and I'm over on two of my FAVORITE blogs with excerpts and reviews...

-Tiffany Talks Books has an Exclusive Anna + Julian excerpt that starts like this:

"My dilemma was heavy on my mind, but more than that, I didn’t want to wait anymore. I’d read too much about people in love being kept apart. 

I was terrified of us getting closer and Julian finding out what I knew, but in this moment, with him standing right here in front of me, I didn’t want to think about Bill Kyser anymore. I didn’t want to worry about the past. I wanted to think about my future..." (click here for the rest)

-What's Beyond Forks? has all the gorgeous picture-teasers and a great review.

At both stops, you can still enter to #WIN signed paperbacks, exclusive eARCs of Watercolor, and more!

And don't forget, Dragonfly is on sale for 99 cents only two more days!

On Amazon

Next week, the girls go back to school, and I get back into writing mode. I actually love the fall, and I can't wait to share more of Anna + Julian's story with you...

Is it okay to be a little nostalgic, first?

Have a super week, reader-friends~

Updates and a Break... #NoFooling

Happy April 1!

I always want to do funny April Fool's jokes, but *blerg*... My jokes are either way obvious, or I start laughing and give the whole thing away.

Have any of you guys fallen for funny April Fool's jokes? Played any?

Well, no fooling, last week was intense...

First, I traveled 850 miles south to my old hometown for spring break. While I was there visiting family and friends, I met with librarians in Daphne and Fairhope, AND I discovered a new writer-friend living in the area!

Many of you are fans of NYT bestselling author Abbi Glines. I discovered she lives in Fairhope, and after a few email chats, we decided to do a book signing together. It was loads of fun.

On Amazon

Author Steph Campbell joined us--you might remember how much I loved her book My Heart For Yours (link), which she co-wrote with my close friend, cover designer, and author Jolene Perry. (I raved over it in this post, link. It's a must read.)

Last week, I started the process of making an audiobook for The Truth About Faking. I'll keep you posted on that new project. Very exciting.

But most importantly, my sweet hubs JRM was hit by a car while jogging. Yes. Majorly scared us all.

His right tibia was broken, which is painful and means he'll be on crutches for three months, but we are so thankful he wasn't hurt worse.

That break news brings me to MY break news--it's time for my annual April blogging break. I have a few promotional posts for friends going up, but otherwise, I'll be offline.

I'm so excited, though... I've decided to revise my very first book Dragonfly and its sequel for late-May/early-June release. It's a contemporary romance that I think you'll really like. I'll have to postpone Rouge #2 and 21 Days until later in the year, but my hope is you'll be happy with the result...

I will be keeping up on Facebook, and I'll def. post some teaser-excerpts as possible while I'm in the cave, although taking care of my sweet, invalid husband is going to make my schedule interesting.

It's A-Z month! Many of you are participating, so have fun with it! I'll be around, I'll be thinking of you guys, and I plan to be back with something great.

Have a super month, reader- and writer-friends~ <3
