Summer, Fireworks, and Fiction Fest

Happy first day of August!

Does anyone else feel like summer flew by? I spent so much time at book signings and writing the third Shapeshifter book, I didn't get to finish everything on my summer to-do list. Well, at least I got to see fireworks—I am a sucker for fireworks. (Though to be honest, I wasn't really watching the fireworks in this picture).

And I did get to spend some time swimming, pretending to be a siren. That was a must on the to-do list!

One of the best things about this summer was having the opportunity to launch my sequel, The Siren's Secret. I wanted to share this sketch below that one of my readers gave to me at the launch. I absolutely adore it, thank you, Anastasia! 

Before summer does end, I'm excited to be a part of Cedar Fort's Fiction Fest. My interview went up on their blog yesterday, and you can check it out on the link below.

I hope you've had a wonderful summer and have been able to hit everything on your to-do list!

I’m excited for summer

Colored Jeans, fireworks, and snow cones are just a few of the summery things I’m excited for.


The weather has been teasing me lately. Spring is like a fight between winter and summer. One day I’m doing cartwheels out on the warm grass, the next day my heater is blowing full blast as icy rain pours down outside. I know that summer will win the fight in the end—I’m just excited for things to get going.


Today was a cloudy, heater blowing, hot chocolate kind of day, so naturally I’ve been pining for summer all day.


Here’s what’s on my mind (accompanied with PLENTY of pictures).


Pool, beach, slip-n-slide, sprinklers.





Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, Snow White and The Huntsman, and The Avengers.





Frozen Treats.





The whole flip-flops-T-shirt-ripped-shorts-sunglasses-windblown-hair look.


And...drum roll...The release of The Shapeshifter’s Secret on June 12!





What are you most excited for?
