New Book with Bloomsbury Spark
I'm really excited to announce that Bloomsbury Spark will be publishing RUSH as an ebook original - coming out November 15, 2016. What's it about? Sororities. Greek life. That all-important first week before college.
Here's more.
Three girls. One week. One chance to start over.
Maddie dreams of joining Sigma Theta Kappa, Baldwin University’s most powerful sorority, and rising above the people who walked all over her in high school—especially her boyfriend-stealing twin sister. Rush is Maddie’s chance to become the girl she always knew she could be—if she can survive Sigma’s brutal selection process. '
Imogen came to Baldwin to escape her wealthy family and launch her dream career as a journalist. But her Sigma legacy might just keep her tied to the past, while her crush on her new editor could upset her plans for the future.
Cass remembers what Sigma was like before her fellow sisters put money and “Must Haves” over true friendship. By the time rush week ends, she’ll either save the sorority or quit Greek life—but first she’ll have to confront her feelings for her anti-Greek best friend Leo. Does he feel the same? Or will Cass’s commitment to Sigma keep them apart?
The week before college is a fresh start—a chance to be your true self and find sisters for life. But rush means making tough decisions and facing rejection along the way. Maddie, Imogen and Cass have until Bid Day to decide whether they’re really meant to “go Greek.” The key, each girl will find, is figuring out who her real friends are.
That's it for now - I'll post more RUSH news when I've got it!

Like Books About Talented Teens?
RIVAL was featured in this great blog post about novels spotlighting singers, dancers and other talented teens. I've read most of these books and can highly recommend them! :-)

RIVAL is Out in the World!
Thank you so much to everyone who helped make the launch of RIVAL so special. Special thanks to those who've given it such great reviews. I really love the ones who say they weren't sure whether they'd like the book but ended up being blown away - I definitely think RIVAL's the kind of book you have to experience to enjoy. It's not just music, it's not just "mean girl vs. nice girl." There's a bit of romance, there are hobbies and evil friends, and I think the main characters have a depth you don't usually see in a story like this. So if you haven't read RIVAL yet, check it out! And if you can't find it at your local bookstore or library, ask them to order it. And if you do like the book, spread the word!!
