Announcing the Release of INVISIBLE

Lola’s not pretty. Lola’s not popular. Lola wishes she could disappear … and then one day she does just that...

For seventeen-year-old Lola Savullo, life is a struggle. Born to funky parents who are more in than she could ever be, Lola’s dream of becoming a writer makes her an outsider even in her own home. Bullied and despised, Lola still has the support of her best pal Charlie and Grandma Rose.

Not only is she freakishly tall, Lola’s a big girl and when forced to wear a bathing suit at her summer job as a camp counselor, Lola’s only escape from deep embarrassment seems to be to literally vanish. Soon after, she discovers the roots of her new “ability”.

Slowly, with Charlie’s help, Lola learns to control the new super power. The possibilities are endless. Yet power can be abused, too…

Then, when tragedy strikes, Lola must summon her inner strength, both at home and at school. She has to stand up for herself, despite the temptations and possibilities of her newfound super power.

A coming-of-age story that will warm the heart.

    Sure. Let me know if you need me to resend you the MP4 file or if you want me to use it from my YOuTube Channel.

    Thanks, Tirz. I've got the file, but I've never put anything on YouTube before so there might be a learning curve for me, lol

    Jeanne, the kitties and I celebrated by throwing toy mice in the air (me) and chasing after them (the kitties) to celebrate this wonderful news. Congratulations! I can't wait to start reading this book, which had me from the first time I saw the cover (which introduced me to Tirzah's incredible design for the original Lola) and read the blurb. Is it possible to walk on air and do a happy dance all at once? I hope the answer is "yes." :)

    Jeanne, I just got the trailer to play (the Internet is so slooow today ...), and it's the best one I've seen yet.

    Tirzah, if you did this, why am I knocking my head against a brick wall with my storyboard for The Underground Gift. I need to e-mail you. This rocks!

    Thanks, Andrea - sorry for the late response. I bought a new laptop and can't access my blog from it, so I have to wrestle the old laptop from my eight year old to come play on my blog! What a hassle!

Writing Process Blog Hop

I would like to thank my friend, Tina D.C. Hayes for tagging me for the Writing Process Blog Hop. 1. What are you currently working on? I have three works in progress, however, one is more “done” than the others. It’s a romantic thriller titled, Love, Lies and Deception (the title has been changed from Undercover Hero ). The tagline for the novel is, “What’s a girl to do when she falls in love with the man whose mission it is to bring her down?” My other two novels are paranormal thrillers which is my usual genre and the genre I’m most comfortable writing in. 2. How does your work differ from others in the genre?   I don’t think Love, Lies and Deception is much different than other works in that genre. It has all the typical elements of a romance, but I do bring in aspects of the paranormal into everything I write. So, even though LL & D is, at its essence, a romance, it definitely has a touch of the paranormal. 3. Why do you write what you do? ...

When a Review is not a Review

Image
After receiving plenty of great reviews and ratings for Invisible , yesterday, I went through a rite of passage, I got my first ever one-star review from a reviewer on Goodreads - http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/278254425 . It's okay, really, I'm fine with it. After all, everyone is entitled to their opinion. But what really got to me was the reason why! There is a gay character in my novel. Her name is Charlie and I love her. I think she adds dimension and depth to my novel, but the reviewer hated her. The reviewer's stated "I don't do gay." So I ask, is this really a review or an opportunity for the reviewer to tout her so-called Christian values? All I ask is for a fair review. Review the book as a whole. A one-star review is fine by me, especially when it comes from a narrowminded individual. I would have thought in this day and age that such prejudice and hatred would not be so prevalent.
