A Long Overdue Update

Hi Everyone!

It's been two months since my last blog post and I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out where those months went. Really, I don't have a clue.

But, since I can't rewind time to figure out where those weeks went . . . onward and upward!

I wanted to update everyone on novel release dates since we're nearing the end of 2011. Patrick's novel (I will be releasing the title of it soon!) will be released in the first couple months of 2012. It's turning out to be longer than I anticipated (not a big surprise I guess when you're writing about someone like him) and I'm agonizing over every word as I want this to be as perfect as it can be. Of course, once I have a release date, I'll let you all know. I'll also be releasing little one liners and blurbs on twitter to get some buzz going!

Crash, the YA contemporary I'm working on, will also be coming out sometime in the first half of 2012. I've put this one on the back burner as I want to get Patrick's novel out first, but it's a beautiful story and I'm really proud of it so far.

As I near the 100,000 mark for total books sold, I find myself overwhelmed. In the best kind of way. When I published Eternal Eden back in March, I really didn't know what to expect, but as I look back on 2011, I realize that I hadn't even dare to hope I'd end the year with nearly 100,000 books sold in the Eden trilogy. It's mind boggling and humbling and a hundred other things too, but what I find myself most is thankful. Thankful to all the readers and fans who have taken a chance on my books, spread the word, left reviews, sent emails, and been all-around encouraging and supportive! I'm even thankful to the critics and the one star reviewers for leaving constructive criticism and pushing me to be a better writer. I heart you all!!!

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and thank you for making this girl's 2011 the best year ever. Wishing you all the same in 2012!

  1. I can't wait for this book to come out. I burned through the first three books in three days and fell in love with them. This was a great find and I have given them to my sister to read and it has gone on to three more from there. I was so happy to find out that you were writing a book about Patrick, because by the end of book three I was utterly in love with him. Can't wait for this to come out. Thanks for writing such a beautiful character with the name of Patrick.
