Brain. Is. Fried.

After Every Which Way was released, I was on this book high. I didn't know what to do afterwards. I kind of just roamed around my house like it was the first time I was ever seeing it. 
Probably because I was getting frustrated. Fast. 

I was working on Breaking the Wrong, but not at the speed I wanted. When I started Severine's story it really didn't stop until I typed, "The End." The second book is coming along, but it's practically making my emotions bleed out. 
Maybe that's really good or maybe I need help. :) 

But then I started thinking about Unravel... I've been pushing that poor book aside for the last few months. On my desk, Unravel's cover is right next to the Sloan covers and I really started to miss my characters from that series. 
So I started looking through it. And then I started taking things away, and adding parts in and I started to fall back in love with my first little brain child! 

Chances are, I'll probably release Unravel before Breaking the Wrong. I'm pushing for a release date of spring 2013 for Breaking the Wrong. I don't want that to change. 

But that means my brain is so fried. 
I've never written two books at once. For me, it's strange to switch from one set of characters to another. But I really can't get either story out of my head!! 

Soon, I want to give you all a snippet of Unravel. I want to show you Naomi, Ezra, and Alexander. I want to show you why I've had this story tucked tight to my heart for so long.

Published.

I think everyone has dreams. We all have something we hope we can achieve. I know I'm not the only one who allows those to get swept under the rug.
Life kinda scatters things and makes you distracted.

But this past week I did something I've waited for...YEARS! Today I accomplished MY dream!
I pressed publish.
The past few days have been kind of amazing. Some days I wanna vomit because I know Severine's story is out there for the world to see, but then I remind myself that I followed through with my dream.
Very rarely I can say that. I'm the girl that VOWS she's gonna work out every day for her New Years Resolution but then the next thing you know I'm watching Pride and Prejudice and I'm attacking a plate of cookies with a gusto. (True Story)

I was giddy the minute I sold my first book, it went crazy after that and now I'm in complete shock.

So, if you read my book. Thank you! Danke, danke, danke!! You've made one my biggest dreams come true!!
I've read every comment on Fb page. Every single one makes me tear up with happy tears.

THANK YOU!!

Teaser Two of Every Which Way!!

In celebration over the fact that I'm handing over Severine's story to my editor... (Let's all jump up and down at the same time!!! squee!)
I'm giving you all small, small teaser!!
Enjoy!!!

“Do I need to ask you?” Macsen asked with a playful grin. His light-green eyes were bright. They were going to raze her until there was nothing left. Severine was okay with that. He could get as close to her as he wanted. There was no need to run from him.   

  “Yes,” Severine said in a hushed tone. 

  “See me outside of class, apart from all this bullshit. I want to see just you.”

  Her smile slightly dimmed over his words. Macsen grinned, grabbed her fingers, and held them loosely within his grasp. His words took her off guard. Something furled around in her belly. It spread and reached for her heart, each time never quite grabbing on. 

  “Yeah,” she said slowly. “I’d like that.” 

  Something was languidly forming between them. They were starting to fit together. She was going to remember this moment. It was going to stay with her, without end. 

  The two of them walked back towards their table. Thayer’s eyes seemed to be waiting for her before she had rounded the corner. They always seemed selected in her direction. 

  Call it vicious, but she held his eyes. Right now, she was involved in the world’s longest staring contest. She was going to win. All of her attention was on Thayer. When Macsen's palm touched her lower back, she barely registered the contact. 

  What was worse than being around two Sloan brothers? Having one physical touch her skin, and the others gaze sear her to her very origin. He was too far to know or realize, but his gaze felt more real than skin-to-skin contact. 

  Thayer’s eyes flicked away from her body and back to his computer screen. He repeated the process five times. Each time she felt it rattle her body.
