Who’s going to St. Louis next week for AASL? I hope you’ll join me on Thursday and Friday. And be sure to swing by the S&S booth Thursday evening where I’ll be signing books!

I’m so excited to officially announce a third companion novel in the ALONE series!
Publication is planned for Jan ‘27, but I need help with a title! Should it start with A? Should it be one word? If your readers have ideas, I would love to hear them!

I need title ideas for a third book in the ALONE and AWAY series. 

Should it be one word? Should it start with A? Have your readers to send me their good ideas.

Huge thanks to the Barnes & Noble booksellers for including AWAY on the shortlist, and for all they do for readers and authors.

Any and all publishing successes I have had are due entirely to the wise counsel and savvy business acumen of my literary agent, the incomparable Deborah Warren. I could not ask for a better guide or friend. So grateful for East West Literary Agency.
