I have a new short story up at The Hanging Garden:

Situation Normal

—a story about twins, aliens, and protective coloration.

I discuss trying to make the romance in CRUEL BEAUTY “creepy, but not too creepy.”

I have two more guest posts:

At Fiktshun, I discuss the lure of the Beast.

At Ivy Book Bindings, I explain why I wrote a bad boy romance when I’ve always sworn I hated bad boys.

Three and a half years after I got ambushed by a crazy, melodramatic story idea, CRUEL BEAUTY is a published book! Available for buying in all sorts of book places!

If you’re still feeling dubious, remember you can read the first 70 pages online.

BUT YOU WANT TO BUY IT RIGHT NOW?

I have a very fun interview up at the Supernatural Snark blog. Keys, books, & crème brûlée!

So, I have joined seven other 2014 debut authors at The Hanging Garden, a blog of short fiction and GIFs. For our first round of stories, we’re each picking one of two GIFs and writing a short story inspired by it. Today mine is up: “Desires and Dreams and Powers.”

You can now read the first 70 pages of CRUEL BEAUTY through the HarperTeen Browse Inside feature.

Want to read the first chapter of CRUEL BEAUTY? It’s now live on Tor.com!

My short story “Apotheosis” is now available on the Lightspeed Magazine website. It’s free, healthy, and delicious!

There’s also a quick interview with me (spoilers for the story!)
