Fast forward a decade. As a mom of young children, stories began to fill my mind (especially after I read the Twilight series. What can I say? Stephenie Meyer is my idol.) So, I started writing again. And now, here I am with four novels under my belt and trying to get an agent.
I write both YA and adult romance. The novel I'm currently querying is a YA contemporary that would appeal to fans of Sarah Dessen or Stephanie Perkins. It's a coming-of-age story about a city girl who moves to the middle of God-Only-Knows-Where the summer before her senior year of high school. She plans to hate it, but finds that sometimes love can be found in the most unlikely places.
I love YA. I love the thrill of falling in love for the first time and, of course, I love the kissing! Whether I'm writing a near future thriller or a YA contemporary, all of my books have an element of romance—that's just how I roll. I love to read the romance and I love to write the romance. 'Nuff said.
OTHER STUFF:
FAVORITE BOOKS:
Well, obviously, this list is endless, but I have read some books recently that I LOVED.
—THE SKY IS EVERYWHERE by Jandy Nelson
—ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS by Stephanie Perkins
—DEFY by Sara Larson
—WE WERE LIARS by E. Lockhart
—FRACTURE by Megan Miranda
—THE SELECTION SERIES by Kiera Cass
MORE OTHER STUFF:
I love sushi, overdosing on chocolate, all things girly and sparkly, and beating my kids at Just Dance. If you looked in my closet, you'd notice that I have a major scarf fetish. I also love a little adventure, and I'm slowly knocking things off my bucket list.
One of my favorite things to do when it's my week to host UB is "How I Got My Agent" stories. I find them to be incredibly inspiring and I hope you do too! So be sure to stop by when it's my week to host and you'll either find the agent stories, book reviews, or author interviews.
See you then!
