As I have shared, Shortcuts is moving to Snowy Wings Publishing and getting a sequel.  I'm so excited to get to share the next step in Parker's story with you.  The cover for Detours will be revealed in one week and today... today I'm so happy to share the new cover for Shortcuts:

I love it! Heart-felt thanks to go to Qamber Kids and illustrator Katie Archambault for this beautiful cover! The cover layout and typography is by Qamber Kids, with the cover illustration by Katie Archambault!  The entire Qamber Kids team was amazing to work with (shout-out to Najla and Jenn!), and I could not be happier with the final results!  Please feel free to share-- sharing is great for spreading the news.

About the book, for those who haven't read it:

If you could change people's hearts, would you? 

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 super cute 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.  



Amazon, unfortunately, has not yet managed to link the old editions of Shortcuts with the new ones, so the old reviews have not moved over yet.  If you've posted an Amazon review for Shortcuts in the past, hopefully Amazon will see fit to add that to the new edition soon.  If you haven't given a review for Shortcuts but have enjoyed it, the new edition is looking pretty lonely right now without any reviews, and I'd be grateful if you could add your review,  even if it's a one-liner!  

There is also a new Goodreads page for Shortcuts, which is happily linked to the old one.  If you want to share your thoughts on the book there, you can jump to that here.  To pre-order the new ebook on Amazon, click here.  If you'd like the paperback, well, it's on sale early on Amazon, so you can already grab a copy and leave a review even before the official publication date of April 13th! The new edition is not available in hardcover, but I still have copies of the old hardcover edition for sale.

Thanks for all your support!  More information on Detours coming soon!

    To those of you in 4th-8th grade and older, I hope I can offer  a smidgen of help & encouragement as you traverse the waters of intermediate school, middle school, and  high school.  

    For those who are writers or aspiring writers, I will occasionally share thoughts on the writing process.  Hope it helps!

    For librarians and teachers, I sometimes share resources on books, reading, and writing.

    For those who are readers of any ages, I like to share when a book totally floors me.  Share the love if you agree.
