Hi All:

Summer is officially here along with great summer reading! What are you reading this summer? I have some exciting things in the works with both The Telling Mirror series and with my mystery series, but this newsletter will focus on my YA writing.

First, I've entered both books into The World's Best Story contest and there's only 12 hours left to vote! Readers get a chance to win fabulous gift cards for each book they vote on (there's tons of them on the site) and author's get a chance to win some valuable publicity. A true win-win situation!

Here's the link to the site/The Telling Mirror. I'd sure appreciate a positive vote:

I also wanted to write to give you a series update and the opportunity to participate in the production of second novel in The Telling Mirror Series called The Return to Poadocia.

I am using Wattpad, a forum for authors to place their "in the works" books in draft form for readers to give valuable feedback, and want to invite you to read and give me comments on the book: characters, plot line, story direction, etc. I am not seeking editing as I will work on that later with my editors. As a caveat this book is in a rough draft so no doubt there will be places where my editors will have to earn their pay :)

Anyways, here is the link. Please consider joining Wattpad and giving me feedback....its free, no strings attached and there are a ton of great stories on there by many, many other authors.

Here's the link. If you do join, please comment and vote!

Last, but certainly not least, is I'm working on fall book talks; I love to get out and meet my readers. I'll be at the Hutchinson MN public library Tuesday Oct, 10 at 7pm during their Teen Read work--really looking forwards to this event!

All my best,
