Ahh! The last few months have been a whirlwind. I know they say that book launch time is like that, but I totally underestimated how it would impact my day-to-day. I've had so much fun at signings and panels (and there are a couple more to come). I've connected with people online across social media who have read TEN AFTER CLOSING, and it's been so exciting.

But, amid all this, I've been very derelict in keeping my subscribers up-to-date on giveaways. So, I will rectify that right now. 

And have I got giveaways for you! That's right. Giveaways. Plural.

​If you've been following along, you know that I've been participating in the #TrillsAndChills giveaway series with a bunch of other YA authors, and October is my month. I'm giving away the lovely book box you see below. I'm calling it the FEARLESS book box.

​

10PM: Closing time at Café Flores. The door should be locked, but it isn't, Scott Bradley and Winsome Sommervil are about to become hostages.
TEN MINUTES BEFORE CLOSING: Scott's girlfriend breaks up with him in the café's basement storeroom because he's late picking her up for the big end-of-the-year party. Now he can't go to the party, but he can't go home, either—not knowing if his dad will still be in a drunken rage. Meanwhile, Winny wanted one night to let loose, away from her mother's crushing expectations. Instead, she's stranded at the café after her best friend ditches her in a misguided attempt at matchmaking.

Welcome back! Today, the official pre-order campaign for my debut YA thriller, TEN AFTER CLOSING, begins! I'm so grateful that you want to read my book. It comes out on September 4th.

Until then, you can pre-order TEN AFTER and everyone who does will be entered into my giveaway.
