Today's the cover reveal day for the Booktrope version of my YA novel, BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WITCH FOR. Can a novel be scary, romantic, and funny at the same time? Let's hope so.

Feeling rejected?

The first book in the Harry Potter series was rejected by twelve publishers. The thirteenth one accepted it, but printed only 1000 copies. Keep these facts in mind when you think a publisher's opinion of your book is better than yours.

The latest stop on the blog tour has my "guest post" on the subject, "Do Boys Read?" (The answer, according to most publishers, is No.) Check it out on indianbookloveaffair.wordpress.com, and leave your comments.

The first stop on the blog tour for COME SIT BY ME is actually librarynerdette.wordpress.com.

Today begins the blog tour to promote COME SIT BY ME, my YA novel about a school shooting. First stop is librarynerdette.blogspot.com, where we do what proved to be an interesting interview.

Latest reviewer of COME SIT BY ME writes: "I was enthralled the entire time. I'm looking forward to more from this author." That tells exactly how much effort the publishers of my 100 previous books put into publicizing them.

Here's part of a review from a blogger who writes "My So-Called Reviews."

This is definitely a book that will split adults, you’ll either love it or you’ll hate it. With teens I can see this book being hugely popular, not only does it deal with things that are prevalent to their world but each character, good and bad, is easy to connect with. Combine that with a clear writing style, fast paced plot & some juicy twists and teens will gobble this one up! Highly recommended to all YA teens ages 14 and up, this is a must read! I would also highly recommend this to adults who are interested in getting inside the true psyche of today’s American teenager, regardless of what you might find there!
