I should be fired from social media.

Seriously, guys.

I'm really bad at updating my social media sites, really bad.

I should be fired from social media and having readers that I interact with. The truth is, I LOVE YOU GUYS. Without you, I cannot do what I love.

So, here I am, asking for forgiveness and giving you a little update about what I've been up to.

Ready?

1. I sent, Crimson Lace, book two of the Black Blood Chronicles, at the end of March, to my publisher. I feel like I've been on summer vacation.

2. My family and I went to Hawaii in April. It was awesome.

This was me, surfing a pipeline.

Just kidding. Not really. I'm terrified of deep ocean water. If you've read Black Five, when I wrote the scene with Penn in the ocean, I almost died.

3. I read Eleanor and Park. OMG. Have you read it? You need to. I'm awful at writing book reviews. Terrible. Even if I'm head-over-heels for the book, I don’t write them. The reason?

Anyway, you need to read Eleanor and Park if you haven’t yet.

4. I’m taking a break from the Black Blood Chronicles to write a stand-alone novel about some personal subject matter. It’s a story that’s near and dear to my heart. I’ll keep you updated on that project in the near future. AND! I’ll post a blurb soon, and the title. When I come up with one.

Anyway, I’m on summer vacation until the edits for Crimson Lace comes back.

HAPPY MONDAY!
