Aww Raye, that's awesome that you want to write books too!! I'm loving my dream too, I'm still in shock that I'm doing it full time and your support means the world to me! And I'm honored to be your second friend, I love making new friends on here ;)

I have an awesome YA/fan group on GRs with over 1,100 members, let me know if you want a link, no pressure to join and you don't need to read my books to be in the group. We just have fun and chat about YA books ;)

If you do decide to read any of my books, my highest rated first in a series is but my most popular is , both dystopian. Happy reading and it's so nice to meet an aspiring author!

Aww I'm good, thank you so much for asking Zahraa!! I'm thoroughly enjoying Finnikin and the Rock. It's taken me a while but not because I don't like it, just because of distractions lol!!

Hi Slay!! You're very welcome, it's so nice to meet you ;)

Hey, this is Slay!

Merci for friending me!!

Sleep, what's that funny five letter word? Sleep, eventually. Got about an hour power nap...and now am back at it. I do too, and am beyond ready for it to be over.

Hahaha!! Uh oh, I'm ready for some randomness!!! You need some sleep and some good luck for the big move!! I really hope it goes well and you get all settled in quickly M-Dizzle ;)

HI SNICKERS!

Just thought I'd check in (while I'm currently heading towards being awake for 24 hrs) while I'm on a break from packing the last round of things to get ready for the massive move tomorrow (almost today) and yeah. <3

If things start getting random...it is sleep deprivation and caffeine :)

Yay, I'm so glad!!

Aww thanks, I was sleeping on a hammock under the brim of my favorite hat when I woke up and my wife was snapping some pics lol!

Hi Aev!! I'm doing very well! How are you?

Aw wow, Kristin!!! That's like the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me! Put a HUGE smile on my face. Although I love writing and being an author, my favorite thing of all is meeting and connecting with people. We're all just people after all, and friendship is what makes everything in this life so worth it (lol, that's a little plug for a common theme that runs deeply in my books ;)

Anyway, thank you for your comment, it really made my day!!

Every time I log into Goodreads I always look forward to reading your responses to fans and fellow readers! It is so wonderful to see an author take such an active interest in their fans. I can't wait to read your books! :)

Awww thanks!!! I can't wait to hear what you think Rachel!! Thanks for everything :)
