Come comment, ask me questions, make me answer weird things in a public forum!

Book Tour Day Three!

Today I’m over at The Reading Addict.

There’s a guest post from me at the top about how I got into the industry, and a nice and meaty review at the bottom. (As long as each reviewer docks me points for a different thing, I’m probably doing okay.)

The Reading Addict gives Rite of Summer 4 of 5 stars! “[T]he contrast between wickedly carnal intimacies and staid bucolic pursuits in the country was deftly presented.”

“Wickedly carnal.” I like that.

Blog Tour Day Two!

Stop the first: A fun interview with Kristabel Reed of Curvy Girl Tales! Learn some more behind the scenes stories about my writing process and research, and take the chance to ask me embarrassing questions in public.

“[A]n excellent début novel from a fantastic new author and I look forward to reading anything she puts forth in the future.”

 

Thank you so much, Angela!

Excerpt — Rite of Summer

A little bit of a teaser! I have to keep the excerpts on other sites to a PG-13 level, but this website is mine, and I do what I like. (mua ha ha). This scene takes place on one of the first nights after the guests arrive for the house party. Joshua can’t sleep, his mind fixated on his crush on Stephen Ashbrook, and he goes exploring instead. He finds quite a bit more than he bargained for.
