Want a Taste of BROKEN AT LOVE?

I can hardly believe it, but Broken at Love will be in your hands in less than a month! Time is flying, but every time I read through this manuscript to revise or input edits, I get more excited about sharing it with you on March 12.

I hope that, in the weeks to come, I'll be able to share my excitement with you in the form of playlists and excepts, and any other fun stuff I can think of, but today, I've got something special!

THE FIRST 3 CHAPTERS OF BROKEN AT LOVE ARE UP ON GOODREADS!! Here's the link; I'd sure love to hear your thoughts and reactions if you check it out!

Oh, and for your pleasure, I've got a couple of inspiration photos for Quinn and Emilie, my leads in the book.

Here's Emilie:

And here's my lovely Quinn ;) :

Happy reading, lovelies! I'll be back soon, I promise...

Love THE BACHELOR? Join the Tweet Up!

Hey everyone! I pretty much assume that no one is reading these posts, since I'm brand new to blogging. In some ways it makes this so much easier, since I expect no one's watching. I could just be doing something like this and like 5 people in entire world would even know:

At any rate, whether or not I am doing the Carlton at this very moment is not the point of this post. The point is, a few other New Adult authors and I (all of whom have sexy, romantic, contemporary love stories scheduled to drop THIS YEAR) are going to live tweet this season of The Bachelor. It starts tonight on ABC at 8/7c.

Which I guess means if you live on the west coast, sorry? I mean, you get the sunshine and the movie stars and all of the hipsters and Napa Valley and stuff, so...win?

The reason we're doing this is that a) who doesn't love The Bachelor (don't LIE), b) who doesn't love to SNARK about The Bachelor, and c) as NA writers, The Bachelor totally falls within our area of interest and expertise. It's like, RESEARCH.

It gives me the chance to practice this face:

Which says OH MY GOD ALL OF THESE GIRLS IN ONE HOUSE KILL ME WITH DRAMA.

And also this face, which comes in handy when the inevitable lying backstabbing fakest girl in the house continues to get a rose every week. I want to pull the bachelor aside and give him this:

Which means HAHAHAHAHA no. You are a moron. Do not give her a rose.

If any of this intrigues you (especially if you write or read New Adult!) please join me (@Lyla_Payne), Lexi Monroe (@LexiMonroe_), and Alessandra Thomas (@AuthorAless) on #NAlove and #TheBachelor tomorrow night!!

See you there and enjoy the fun!

Something New

Hey, people that accidentally stumble on my blog! This website is brand new, and I'm still figuring everything out, but I wanted to stay hello, and that I'm working on it.

I plan to post updates on my journey to publishing my first New Adult novel, which will release in March, 2013. If you're a fan of romance, New Adult, or anything caffeinated, I'd love to have you along for the ride!
