Seventeen authors and illustrators set out on a horrific journey to set the record straight. What really happens on Halloween night? Trick or Treating is not all fun and games. There are more tricks than treats scattered through these pages. Sure, All Hallows eve can be a scream. But sometimes, it’s straight-up murder.

Birthdays and Big News

I wrote several posts about turning 25 last October and what a big deal that was for me (here, here, and here). I will be honest and say that it has not been the year I expected and hoped for. However, it has been AWESOME in its own unique way. I didn't reach all of my goals for my 25th year but I also accomplished some things I would never have imagined.  It has had some very low spots but, from where I am standing, I cannot view it as anything but a resounding success.

I don't want to spend this post enumerating my past year (scroll through my blog and you'll get the gist) because, just as I was last fall, I'm looking forward. 26 is going to be different than I originally planned and I've known that for a while. However, already the inevitable surprises are taking shape and so are the new and even better plans.

Which brings me to my Big News!

I'm super excited to announce that GOODBYE, GOOD-GOODY GIRL will release March 2016 from Bookish Group Press. The decision to self-publish was an intense one but I am so so happy and excited to be working with the ladies at BGP to make my story the best book it can be. It contains a huge piece of me and I cannot wait to share it.
