Everything here has to do with the Guardian Legacy. If you're a reader, and love YA literature, then follow the guildelines below to be entered. AWAKENED, Book one of the Guardian Legacy, is the story of 16-year old girl who's never felt that she belongs anywhere but learns that belonging comes at a price and with a boat load of responsibilities. Or maybe it's about a girl who learns that you can't choose who you are or who you love?  Or maybe it's about a girl who discovers her destiny and r...

Here it is, Awakened book trailer.  Two and half days of sweat, despite the headache, tummy ache and sinus infection, we did it.

I'm curled up in bed with a nasty head cold, but my girls worked hard to make this trailer happen. Posted it here, but if you can't find it, here's the link

OMG!!!  The 4 weeks I was told I had to wait until the book is released just turned into 4 days.  I got a call from my editor with the news that Awakened is now available on Amazon.  Soon it will appear on Barnes&Nobles, Borders and Waterstones for UK readers.  Yippeee!

For those of you who don't know, ARC stands for Advance Reading Copy.  Most often, a publisher supplies authors with ARCs which savvy authors use as a marketing a tool--send to reviewers, blog posts to announce the release of the book, give them out at promo events and conferences.  So needless to say, ARCs are very important.

So when I first read about a publisher not supplying its authors with ARCs for review, I was shocked.  Poor authors I said. That was in February of this year and the art...

My daughter spent several hours this afternoon creating the Guardian's six-sided star amulet.  I plan to use it on T-shirts, notebooks, all the good stuff when I start my contests.  The Guardians, who are bugging to write book 2, would rather I use a jadeite core, which is closer to what they wear (see the scar on the chest of my cover guy).  I say, boring.  I want a stone closer to emeralds, something that appears mysterious with a core that ebbs and flows. 

So here's my dilemma, which amule...
