Some exciting book news!

Hey lovely readers! I'm so pleased to let you know that my book Shortcuts will be out with CBAY Books in April 2019!  This story is an upper middle grade, light science fiction set in contemporary Texas.  Fifth through eighth graders will be a good fit, like my previous works, plus older teens and adults who enjoy reading YA and MG. This book has a very different style than my Aluvia series, but I hope you'll enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it! If Cher from Clueless or Buffy from the early episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer had secret psychic powers, they might be something like my main character, Parker. 
​
A cover reveal will be coming soon, so stay tuned for that.  In the meantime, here's the blurb (you can find more info about the book on my website here) and the Goodreads link. I hope you'll add it to your Want to Read shelf!

When psychic powers and secrets collide, no one is safe.

Parker Mills has it all.  She's the two-time winner of the Miss Divine Pecan Pageant, head of the 8th grade dance committee, and a secret psychic empath. Since she absorbs strong emotions from those around her, Parker has committed herself to finding shortcuts to happiness.  Whether acting as a tutor,  coach, or matchmaker, Parker knows that when others are happy, she's happy.   Granted, all that fixing other people's drama means her own crush has no idea how she feels, but it's still a win-win so long as her psychic method remains a mystery.  
 
At least, that's how it always worked until Mia came to town.   With her mysterious past and dark cloud of depression, Mia's moods threaten to rain on Parker’s happiness parade.  After Parker's usual shortcuts fail-- even after bringing gorgeous Josh on the scene--she's forced to kick things up a notch, or two.  But when Parker's psychic power goes haywire, dangerous secrets unravel... starting with her own.  

You can find it on Goodreads here!
