Because tonight is the PARANOIA Launch Party at The King's English Bookshop in Salt Lake City, for today's stop on the blog tour, I'm hanging out with my very good friend, Nichole Giles!

We made an awesome list for parties/conventions with hilarious/cool things you should do should you find yourself at one. :)

It was so much fun putting it together, so go check it out and get your giveaway entries for today!

If you're in the SLC area, hope to see you at the Launch tonight! :)

PARANOIA Release Day!

Today is a pretty big day. One year ago, I became a published author...and today I get to do it again.

And it still feels pretty freaking amazing.

Insomnia accomplished things that I never could have anticipated. It was a finalist for a Whitney Award, it's a Beehive Book Award Nominee for 2014-2015 and it was my publisher's bestselling book for 2013.

It already released in Hungary and in the next year it will be coming out in countries and languages all over the world.

Being published, just like writing, hasn't always been wonderful. There have been some serious struggles. I don't always want to write. I don't always feel like doing the marketing I'm supposed to do. It's hard to prepare yourself for something like this and there have been things that hit me harder, or hurt worse, than I was expecting. But I still love it.

Any career in which you send something you create out for people to openly critique can be painful and difficult...but it's also incredible and rewarding in ways that you can never expect.


More than anything else, on this day, I just feel incredibly lucky to be an author.


Thank you for supporting me and helping me continue to do what I love, and please celebrate that with me today.

PARANOIA Blog Tour - Day 6 & 7

We'll be hanging out at one blog all weekend, because this blog is awesome and obviously everyone wants to hang out at awesome places during weekends.

And do this:

So we will be at the Oops! I Read A Book Again Blog with Dianne! (Love that blog name. It's like she keeps slipping and accidentally reading another book. That happens to me sometimes...)

On Sunday there will be an INSOMNIA AND PARANOIA Review posted.

Also, I know that the *technical* release date of PARANOIA is the 8th, but since it's a Sunday and a weekend, we'll be doing all celebration of the Paranoia release on Monday the 9th.

So make sure to check in on Monday for lots of fun Release Day Giveaways!

On Release Day I'll be doing fun promos to give out signed books, bookmarks... and buttons. 

Yes, I said buttons...everyone wants buttons. 

YOU. WANT. BUTTONS.

Have a happy weekend everyone! :) And don't forget to get your entries for the rafflecopter giveaway this weekend!
