If you are signed up for my mailing list you had the very first look at the cover for Coming Home to You. For those of you who have not yet seen it, I am excited to show it to you today!

Coming Home to You begins where Home is Where You Are left off. It is the story of Katie, Anna's best friend and Seth, Anna's brother and I can guarantee plenty of appearances from Anna and Dean as well as other beloved characters from Home is Where You Are.

Coming Home to You (A Home Novel)
After getting evicted, Seth finally decides to grant his sister's wish and return home. Filled with bad memories, and holding the burden of a secret that's not even his, he goes back to the place he swore he never would.

His first night home a loud thump awakens him. When he goes to investigate he finds Katie, the one girl who was always off-limits, falling through his living room window.

Katie spends her days cutting class and her nights getting wasted so she can forget reality. On the outside, everyone thinks she’s happy being the life of the party, but on the inside she’s lonely and broken. She’s about to flunk out of school and become a nobody when her best friend's brother, and boy she has loved for years, comes back home.

Two broken souls burned by those who were supposed to love them most find solace in each other. Will they be able to help one another heal before the past destroys them both?

It will be releasing November 2016. Stay tuned for an exact date!

Release Day is Here!

It's been six long years in the making and finally Dead Girl is here! I'm so excited for this release because this book is very near and dear to my heart. It even earned a spot in the acknowledgements:

And lastly, to this book, six years is a long time to spend on one project, but I would do it all over again. I have learned so much from that first draft until now and I’m a better writer for it. Thank you for showing me failure, determination, humility and gumption.  

I'm so excited to finally be able to share it with you! And for today only it is $0.99!!!! 

Why do you want to read this you ask? Let's start with the blurb: 

If her mother wasn’t watching, Kylie Presby would punch Queen Bee, Natalie Silvers, in the face -again. But as Kylie wipes her tears away with the layers of toilet paper encasing her car, she knows she can’t retaliate like she did last time. Her dead mother wouldn’t approve. Kylie no longer cares about popularity. Invisible would work just fine.

Then the new kid, Braydon, mysterious, good looking and too clever for his own good, shows up and sacrifices his social status, becoming Kylie’s shield from the front line assault. After enough chocolate ice cream and movies it’s as if they’re best friends. Crazy, since Kylie knows so little about him.

As Natalie continues her relentless attacks on Kylie another person deals with his own line of bullies. Jack Stine was popular until his deepest secret was revealed and his friends abandoned him. Kylie and Jack bond over their tormentors and form an unbreakable friendship.

Three lost souls each with a story that binds them together, but will it be enough when the bullying goes too far and secrets are revealed?

 

Still not convinced? How about some early reviews:

Have I sold you yet? No... :( What about a few teasers? 

If I haven't convinced you yet it's only $0.99 today! That's less than $1! 

If you do decide to take a chance on me and my little book that could thank you! :)

Cover Reveal: Dead Girl

Today is the cover reveal for my newest Tessa Marie book Dead Girl, a YA contemporary, releasing March 31, 2016. This book. Oh man this book. It has been with me from the very beginning. I began work on it at least five years ago and it has been through a ton of rewrites since then. This was the first book that I ever cried while writing. I remember trying so hard to type the words out but unable to see the screen through the tears. These characters brought me on an emotional roller coaster and because of that they are very near and dear to my heart. I've been waiting a very long time to bring this book to all of you and I cannot wait for you to read it.

So here we go. The blurb and cover for Dead Girl:

If her mother wasn’t watching, Kylie Presby would punch Queen Bee, Natalie Silvers, in the face -again. But as Kylie wipes her tears away with the layers of toilet paper encasing her car, she knows she can’t retaliate like she did last time. Her dead mother wouldn’t approve. Kylie no longer cares about popularity. Invisible would work just fine.

Then the new kid, Braydon, mysterious, good looking and too clever for his own good, shows up and sacrifices his social status, becoming Kylie’s shield from the front line assault. After enough chocolate ice cream and movies it’s as if they’re best friends. Crazy, since Kylie knows so little about him.

As Natalie continues her relentless attacks on Kylie another person deals with his own line of bullies. Jack Stine was popular until his deepest secret was revealed and his friends abandoned him. Kylie and Jack bond over their tormentors and form an unbreakable friendship.

Three lost souls each with a story that binds them together, but will it be enough when the bullying goes too far and secrets are revealed?
