I’m Back!

Wow. Sorry for not blogging in, um, almost a year. I have two excuses. Decent ones, I swear!

First: the baby thing.

Second: I moved. Again. For anyone who’s counting, that’s two moves in one year. If you need boxes, I am your girl.

When I wasn’t packing, unpacking or changing diapers, I was editing and writing. (And watching Jersey Shore. But don’t tell anyone that, ‘kay?.)

What was I editing: GIMME A CALL. It comes out  April 27th.

What it’s about:

Devi is having a bad day: Her boyfriend broke up with her and she dropped her cell phone into the fountain at the mall.

Now it only calls one number.
Her number.
At age 14, three years ago.

Once Devi gets over the shock, she realizes that she’s been given an awesome gift. She can convince her younger self to fix all her mistakes! Or can she?

The book is told from two perspectives: Freshman Devi and Senior Devi, so you get to see both points of view. And it was SO MUCH FUN to write. I got to think about all the things I would do differently…and all the things I would want to know about the future, if I could. What would you want to know? What would you tell?

These days I’m writing a totally different kind of book. It’s called TEN THINGS WE DID (and probably shouldn’t have) and it’s about two teens who move into together when both their parents move away. Chaos ensues. The content is a lot older than my other teen stuff. Much racier. It’s kind of a cross between my YA and my chick lit. The first draft will hopefully, pretty please, be done next week. Fingers crossed. (For luck or for lying, you wonder? Good question.)

In this weeks news: PARTIES & POTIONS is now out in paperback!

Check out the series branding on top: a magic in manhattan novel. Cute, huh?

Eventually the earlier books will be reprinted with matching tops so that will be cool.

Also, the first two chaps of GIMME A CALL are in the back of the book so you can read it and get a sneak peek.

Oh! And I am going to have a live chat this Wednesday the 17th at 8 EST. In the events section of my site. Come by!

But…

Please do not pretend to be me in the chat. It’s seriously creepy.

Okay then. That’s it for today. Since I am not moving in the near future (I hope) I will try to write more often.

Hugs & wishes,

Sarah
