Publisher's Weekly Follow-up!

1 comments

Hey all!

Have you heard? The super, sweet Calvin Reid from "Publisher's Weekly" did a follow-up interview with me last week and just posted the story online! If you haven't already, please check it out here. In it, Calvin talks all about what wonderful opportunities I've been given since my book was published. I can't spill the beans just yet, but I'm talking with a variety of people regarding several really awesome projects and my hopes are that a special publisher sees the potential in the Life's a Witch brand and wants to make a deal to rep the whole series! And of course, I've got other books just waiting in the wings, too.

We'll have to see though. Right now, I'm just content with the fact that those who have read LAW, have loved it, and are telling their friends about it! So....if you've read LAW and loved it, show your support by telling your friends by reposting this article on FB, Tweeting about it or mentioning it in your blogs. Every little bit helps!

Thanks to those who have helped me along the way and all of you for your love and support!

Position is unpaid, but interns can do the job remotely.

Help me choose my character's names!

4 comments
Hey all!

So, I've FINALLY started to write the sequel to Life's a Witch, tentatively called, The Witch is Back, and though I can't give you too many details, I can say that there are at least three new big characters in the book. And here's where my fans come in! I need your help on choosing names for them! Here's a brief description of the three characters (so you can get a feel for their personalities). Please pick from the list of names in the polls on the side of this blog to let me know what name you want each character to have!

Queen Bee--girl is gorgeous (think supermodel), blond, perfect, snobby, self-absorbed, used to getting her way, bossy and a bit of a bully.

Geek Chic--she's very smart, has a photographic memory, not totally a geek, but wears glasses, knows her stuff when it comes to magic and history, shy when it comes to guys.

Witch Teacher--freshly out of school guy; young but good looking, clean-cut, a gentlemen.

I can't wait to see what you all choose!

Hey all!

Just wanted to send you a quick e-mail to let you know that the lovely ladies at Y-Pulse published an interview of me on their site! It was awesome meeting them at my book launch party and I'm so grateful that they are sharing my experience with writing and publishing with their readers! Please take a look at the article here.

And don't forget that I'm uploading the next chapters of Fate Reloaded tomorrow, as well as a few special surprises from the newest project I'm involved in! It's going to be the BIG REVEAL!

Super-Secret, Super-Awesome Project

EXCITING NEWS!!!!

Hey all! I have some super-secret, super-awesome news.....

I just wish I could tell you about it!

Wait, what was that? You want me to dish you the deets even though I've been sworn to secrecy and had to practically sign away my first born if I told you all about it?


Ummmm.......OK!

I suppose it wouldn't totally be going back on my (contract) word if I just gave you some of the 411, right? Right?!

Cool, here goes:

Yours truly was one of a select group of Wattpadders chosen to be a part of a really cool new show that's being released in January! Yep, you heard that right....it's a SHOW! And for all of you out there who are thinking, "It's about time that girl had her own reality show!"—well, I agree with you, but this isn't it.

It's better!


I can't tell you the name of the show or even the storyline yet, but I can divulge the fact that I wrote TWO of the stories connected to the series! The project's unlike anything you've ever seen before. It's not quite a movie but not totally a TV show.

Like I said before: It's better.

And that's seriously all I can say right now, since I faintly remember the contract saying something about being hunted down by the FBI if I gave away too much—but stay tuned for more, because eventually I will SPILL. And if I don't, it'll all be out on Wattpad soon anyways!

So, please, keep checking back as I drop more hints to all my fans. I promise if you stick around, it'll be totally worth it!

Life's a Witch is available on the Kindle and Nook!

2 comments
Hey all!

Sorry I haven't updated in the last week, but ever since my book went on sale, things have been CRAZY! Crazy good, but crazy nonetheless. Because of my article in Publisher's Weekly, I've been approached by a ton of people about my book; foreign rights agents, publishers, movie and TV rights agents, talent agents and even a comic book company about the possibility of creating a graphic novel based on LAW! I'm still in the process of talking to different people, so nothing's been decided or set in stone, but as soon as I know, I'll announce it here on my blog! So exciting!

In the meantime, I just found out that Life's a Witch is now available for the Kindle! Woo hoo! So, for all of you out there who were waiting for the e-book, here's your chance to buy your copy. And the best part? I'm selling it for a special holiday price of $2.99! And for all you Nook customers, don't worry, I've got you covered, too! Life's a Witch is also available for the Nook! The special holiday price of $2.99 applies here, too!

So, if you haven't already, please support a self-published author and help me get on the New York Times Best Sellers List (yes, I'm setting my sights that high!). Thanks to all of you who have already bought your copies and don't forget....they make great Christmas gifts!
