GRAVITY event schedule!

So...GRAVITY officially releases in 27 days, which is so, so amazing. I could gush about how thankful I am, but I'll save that for later. :) I have a few fun dates coming up that I wanted to detail here:

  • Thursday, 10/4: GRAVITY's trailer reveal is tonight at midnight. It goes live on some 50 blogs, plus a giveaway for 5 ARCs. Should be fun!
  • Monday, 10/8: The Taking Series website goes live next. I'll post details here, on Twitter, and FB. Expect a giveaway, fun Ari/Jackson facts, and hopefully I can get a fun convo goin on Twitter about aliens. Join me for the fun!
  • 10/16-10/29: Blog tour fun. You will likely get very tired of me by the end of this tour. :)
  • Tuesday, 10/30/12: GRAVITY releases! We're having a Twitter party to celebrate.
  • Friday, 11/2: My launch party for the book is on November 2nd from 6-8 PM at FoxTale Book Shoppe in Woodstock, GA. Definitely stop by if you are in the area.
  • Saturday, 11/3: I'll be at Malaprops Bookstore with the ever awesome Tara Fuller and Tiffany Truitt for a group signing.
I am trying to work out a few more signings in the South. Maybe two. We'll see... :)

Pitch Wars 2017 Wishlist!

Hi! How are you? Excited? Nervous? Hating your MS? Loving your MS? Yep, I get it. Been there, have the wrinkles to prove it. But that's what retinoids are for, and besides-- Wait, let me back up and do this introduction thing properly. And, you know, by "properly" I mean Hart of Dixie style.

Reporting in and need your opinion

So last Monday I proclaimed that I would have my WIP complete by today. Well, unfortunately that didn't happen, but I am VERY close--only 2-3 chapters left. Which is why I chose this photo for today. I can see the finish line, but I'm not there yet. Hopefully my Wednesday post will declare completion. And then revisions begin. I realized halfway through that I wanted to go a different direction in a pretty important subplot. I made notes throughout the first half and so now I have to correct those issues. Once those are complete that draft will be draft 2 (though technically draft 4 as I've revised a bit already). But I need opinions on something.
