I love Wattpad!

There's so much great stuff to check out. So far I've found two book series. The Ghost Files by Apryl Baker and The Medium (Emily Chambers Spirit Medium trilogy) by C. J. Archer. They were very different stories, but both paranormal in nature. I'm a sucker for that, obviously, judging by The Ever Series.

Each of the first books in those two series are available for free on Wattpad, and I immediately went out and bought the rest of the books in both series on Amazon. I got obsessed and finished both series within a couple of days, and I don't think I would have found them if it weren't for Wattpad!

Speaking of which, For Ever is still up for free on Wattpad, but it's apparently really (I mean REALLY) hard to find unless you search cjvalles. If you search For Ever, literally everything but For Ever comes up!

Ever is currently on pre-sale on Amazon, due to come out Dec. 20!!! I am so excited for that. And I've been working on another project. The characters are older (college), and I'm having fun with it, so we'll see what happens.

Has anyone else fallen in love with anything they found on Wattpad?

Ever should be up for pre-sale by this week!

I'll post when I know more, so keep an eye out for the link and teasers!

A little taste of Ever

With any luck, Ever will be going up for pre-sale on Amazon very soon. I'm also in the middle of a number of other projects. In the meantime, here's another little teaser.
More updates soon!

My editor is done with edits -- and I got the cover!!!

My editor finished edits on Ever over the weekend and said it's pretty clean overall. AND my designer sent over the final files for Ever's cover.

Right now, I'm working on a super-secret project that's probably going to end up under a pen name, but I promise I'm going to get to Ever's edits as soon as possible. As far as a release date for the book,  I'm thinking late December since there seem to be two main book-buying seasons -- summertime and right after the holidays. But we'll see. I may be putting it up for pre-sale before then, so keep an eye out!

And now ...

Ever

Good news ... I think

I might be getting a draft of Ever's cover tonight -- finally! Cross your fingers with me (but don't hold your breath). Apparently my designer has been having Internet connectivity issues. I can relate! So excited to share a first look at Ever. Oh, and I've just finished my review of the book, so it goes to my editor next.

Right now I'm working on another super-secret project. We'll see. I might have another story to share soon.

Stay tuned for cover updates!

Done!

Just finished my first draft of Ever! Now for the review. No cover yet. :-(

Stay tuned for more updates!

Less than two chapters left!

Just got back from Oregon's coast, and I am now continuing my love affair with Ever Casey. And with any luck, I should have a draft of his cover this weekend. Cross your fingers with me, please!

I've been thinking of doing a For Ever photo tour of Oregon for the longest time, and maybe now that I'm finishing up Ever's version of For Ever, I'll finally get around to it. In the meantime, if you ever get around to visiting Cannon Beach and Haystack Rock (featured in Chapter 13: My Friends of For Ever), I just had the most insanely incredible malted chocolate shake. Soooooo tasty -- that was my lunch!

Yummy! 

Keep an eye out for Ever-related updates, including the cover, and have a lovely weekend!

Ever is coming ...

And -- oh my god is he HOT. You read For Ever from Wren's perspective, but nothing can prepare you for seeing the story through Ever Casey's scorching green eyes ...

Teaser after the jump. Read at your own risk.

So close!

So, here it is: if I can stop freaking out by tomorrow and work up the nerve to press "Publish," then Sever will most likely be available (fingers crossed) sometime on Monday (4 August)!

Right now, it's well past midnight here in Portland, Ore., and I need to remind myself to breathe deeply.

Can't wait for you guys to read Sever!
