Peachville High Demons series

Myrtle Beach Write-A-Palooza!

This afternoon, I am heading to Myrtle Beach with my little family! It will be our first trip away with the baby, and I’m both nervous and excited. The reasons for our last minute get-away were three-fold. I want to celebrate signing my graphic novel contract with Sea Lion Books!! I am going to hit 100,000 all-time sales any day now. It would be fun to do that at the beach. Most importantly, the beach always inspires me to write. With the deadline for DEMONS FOREVER coming up soon, I wanted to have a really productive weekend. Because of all…

Demons Forever Release Date!

The number one question I’ve been asked in emails and on facebook and twitter over the past several months is: When is book 6 coming out? Trust me when I say that it’s a question I’ve been asking myself a lot too! Life with a new baby is not easy, as I’m sure many of you ladies know! I’m not meaning to make excuses, but I’ve had a rough time of it since Andrew was born. I won’t go into all of the details, but I’ve had three separate infections that have left me with fevers and exhaustion. That means…

Maternity Leave (And a Demons Forever Update)

Maternity Leave (And a Demons Forever Update)

I have wanted to a Mom for as long as I can remember. Even when I was just a little girl, I loved babies and stared at pregnant women like they were goddesses. Back then, I knew of course that I would have to wait a while before it was my turn. I just never realized how long. When I was in college, I was diagnosed with PCOS and was told that my case was severe enough that I might never be able to have children. Talk about devastating news.
