What I'm Working On


I was super flattered when a girl sent me an email and told me how much she loved Pictures of You and said she can't wait for my next novel. That inspired this post. Soooooo if you're a sad little monkey and are yearning to know what I'm up to (I know--doubtful): I am currently working on two novels, although I have adrenal fatigue and not only am I super tired all the time, but my brain is mush, which puts a bit of a damper on things, particularly writing. But in case you were wondering, I have finished writing and am now revising a book about a girl who runs away from home and starts a new life, in a new state, lives in a secret, hidden room at her new high school, falls in love with her hot art teacher and dates the school's bad boy.

And book number two: I am about 80 pages into one about a girl who has severe OCD and is bullied at school. She is painfully obsessed with a cute boy on the high school swim team who barely knows she exists and she makes a friend with a weird Australian guy.

I'm hoping I'll have the runaway book available to the public by the end of the year, but I make no promises. In the meantime, read some Sara Zarr (my favorite author) to hold you off.

Me, totally star-struck, meeting my favorite author, Sara Zarr, who is a far superior writer.
