White Star finally gets its sequel

 

Name my characters, get an acknowledgment

 

I would love to involve readers more in my books. How about helping me name some characters?

I need a first name for my main character's best friend. Something best friendy and female.

Also, my main character needs a middle name. Her first and last is Willamina Green.

What if I choose the name you submit? I will publish your name as a thank you in the Acknowledgments of my book. It's a win-win. 

What about a win-win-win? I'll gift you a signed copy of South of Light's End. 

Publish date is Nov 20th

Ready? 3, 2, 1 Go!

Prepare yourselves

My newest E-book with co-writers 

Ashley Chegwyn and 

MJ Kelly is available Friday, 

August 21st.

Sydney
I basically told Mom to get lost, but I didn't 

think she'd actually do it.
When Sydney’s mother goes missing after an explosive argument, she struggles to cope with her clueless father, her secret relationship, and festering guilt. She’s almost relieved when two of her mother’s weirdo patients show up on her doorstep, demanding answers after the worst day of her life. But they’ve got secrets - maybe even deadly ones  - of their own. 

Tori
Just because I'm pissed at my therapist when 

she goes missing doesn't make me responsible.
Does it?
After a brief moment in the spotlight, Tori is convinced she’s a high-school washout. She definitely ticks all the boxes - drugs, drama, and therapy. When her therapist disappears, Tori is overwhelmed with guilt. She starts an investigation of her own, enlisting the help of 

the only other two people who might know what happened - and what didn’t.  

Anthony
FML
Anthony just wants to be left alone, but his past won’t let him go. He knows what he’s capable of. The trouble is, no one else seems to believe him when he tries to warn them. His therapist didn’t, and look what happened to her...
They only befriended each other to clear their names. Keep your friends close, but potential murderers closer, right?

Where I've been

How to keep track of where you’ve been: Ask yourself how your water will taste.

I’ve traveled extensively in the past month, more than a month. Of course I know where I’ve been when I’m fully lucid, but sometimes I’m drowsy. It’s the sleepy afternoon and I would have to think about it if I were asked. Or I’m just waking and I need a drink to assuage my parched mouth. And so it became a game to me—I’d look over at my blue water bottle with the Stop the Racism sticker on it that I picked up in London. I asked myself, what will my water taste like? I don’t know, it depends on where I filled it up last. Will it taste slightly of fresh earth? Will it taste chlorinated? Sulfuric? Ireland, France, England, Belgium. Sometimes it took longer than other times to remember.

This morning takes the longest of all because I’ve traveled nonstop for many days. In the past 96 hours I’ve been in three different French districts, four countries, and one US state. I stare at the blue water bottle with bleary eyes. It’s scuffed up now, the sticker is showing signs of wear. As I take a big gulp, and the tinge of chlorine settles at the back of my tongue, I remember: fountain drink machines at a little gyro shop that sold more chicken wings than gyros. Orlando.

Summerside, Prince Edward Island

The harbour wall
The waves hit the low wall, not with smacks like they mean it, but with nonchalant taps. Every once in a while there's a deep, hollow thunk where a water cave is created and falls against the wall. Even with that, it's all genial and peaceful. Not as passionate as the waves crashing against the cliffs of Maine. Foamy sea being forced into the air as the saltwater rushes against its rocky adversary.

Well, I'm off to visit Queens.

My books are free this week only!

To celebrate my paperback of Tidal coming out this week, I am offering all my ebooks for free! From Wednesday until Friday midnight, get one ebook for free. What the hell, I'll give you all of them! Just don't forget that at the stroke of midnight Friday the celebration is over.
There are two exceptions: 1. I can't offer Spin the Love for three days, so it's just Wednesday and Thursday that you may get it. 2. I can't offer 17 Promises, my co-written novel with Australian author Ashley Chegwyn, for free. However, you may want to buy it anyway to complete the collection.
Also, on Tidal, you get at little surprise after the novel. Yes, yes, yes! After much teasing I am finally going to release South of Light's End this year. See the first chapter of this YA Paranormal Romance at the end of Tidal.
