I promised when I neared 500 fans on Facebook I'd start another giveaway for an ARC of Mending. I had no idea that we'd do that in almost 24 hours thanks to you all sharing so much. We're at 453 right now! This will run until 12/4, which is the day before my blog tour kicks off at Literati Literature Lovers. Thank you so much for your support. The past week has been one of the best weeks a girl could ask for, and it's because of you, my readers!

I am so excited to announce that I will be doing a book signing on Saturday, December 22, 2012, in Aiken, South Carolina at Desserves Bakery.

The time is still to be announced.

I will be reading from Broken and an exclusive excerpt from Mending, which will be released 12/26.

If you are close enough to be able to attend, I would love to meet you!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I enjoyed being able to spend some time with my family (they live out of town). I do feel like I need a vacation from my vacation now! :)

I was able to squeeze a two hour phone interview with Kim from Kindlehooked in on Wednesday night. They offered a giveaway yesterday for Black Friday and also posted some of what we discussed on their blog. It is linked above. I had so much fun talking about Gabby, Bradley, Broken, and Mending.

I also put Broken on sale yesterday for Black Friday at $.99. I had been ranked in the upper 4000's when I woke up yesterday morning. I spent the afternoon with my best friend from out of town and then we drove back home to Atlanta after that. I randomly checked to see how things were going on Amazon. The first time I checked, I was ranked 2800. The second time I checked, I was ranked 2300. When I got home, I was ranked 820 and in two top 100's (contemporary women and teen). I was so so so excited. That is the first time I've been in the top 1000 on Amazon (or ranked in the three digit range). The book will remain on sale through Cyber Monday and return to its regular price on Tuesday. If you haven't picked it up, get it from Amazon now!.

I decided last night that instead of making you all wait until Monday for the second chapter of Mending, I'd go ahead and post it to Wattpad AND on Monday I'm going to post chapter three!

Thank you so much for your support. It means the world to me. I am frantically trying to finish up Mending. Don't forget to tune in for the Broken Blog Tour Dec. 5-16. There will be lots of good stuff!

I'm almost halfway through Mending and it won't be long before I'm ready to send advanced reading copies to my biggest fans. If you are dying to read Mending, then you need to enter this giveaway! Good Luck! a Rafflecopter giveaway

I am so excited to announce today that book three of the This Trilogy has been named!

I was in the middle of writing Mending and I had a surge of thoughts come to me in a matter of minutes. It was really quite amazing. It reminded me why I love writing so much. I live for moments like that. But, as I was having this moment I was able to see the trilogy come full circle.

Book one is about Gabby and all the ways she is Broken. Someone who has been broken has been hurt and eventually you forgive those who caused you the pain, who broke you.

This Trilogy:

Broken (#1)
Mending (#2)
FORGIVEN (#3)

I do not have a release date yet, as I am frantically trying to finish Mending. Make sure to follow the blog or sign up on my website to get updates.
