Paradise is right! For Ever's tropical island

For people finished reading For Ever, it was a pic like this that was the inspiration behind a certain scene. ...

I wouldn't mind waking up here!

Thoughts? Is this how you imagined it?

Who's reading For Ever?

To the kind people who have read and enjoyed For Ever—and those who have gone above and beyond and posted awesome reviews—thank you. You guys rock.


Who are you?


Where are you from?


And are you ready for Never?

Hard copy?

Gotta love e-books, but is anyone interested in a hard copy of For Ever? I'm contemplating putting out a paperback version, but I'm not sure if it's worth the time and effort.

Thoughts?

Wren's name

How Wren Sullivan, the main character and narrator of For Ever, got her name is a bit random. With many of the other characters in the book, I really toiled over their names, trying to figure out something appropriate. But with Wren, I happened to be on www.babynames.com and the "Name of the Day" happened to be Wren, or "small bird."

Having grown up with an unusual name, I felt a connection ... and it also seemed to fit my character, who has always felt a little off-center.

A tiny preview of Never


From Never ...

There’s a feeling after you’ve had a really bad nightmare, when you’ve opened your eyes, and for a few seconds you’re still there, in the dream, but awake. I’ve just remembered my nightmare, and it turns out I’m still in it.

I don’t even have enough time to be grateful that I’m not dead. ...
