INK Sisters Write

Dear Alison and friends,  This week you are in for a treat. (Well, I hope it's a treat.) We've had three posts in three days, but for excellent reasons. Alison needed to have a dance party to celebrate her new Work in Progress  and aside from the fact that everyday should be reason for a dance party, I'm participating in a Book Blitz and Blog Tour for Starr Fall in anticipation of the upcoming release of Starr Gone, Book Three of my young adult series. In case you missed the cover reveal, here's the post.  So, over the next two weeks, a load of different blogs are hosting me. I've written some cool posts about Starr Fall, shared details about the characters, created Character Pinterest boards, and shared new excerpts, so be sure to follow along with the Blog Tour and comment.

Until her friend Mabel, who was once her everything, visits after not speaking for months. Snow piles up around them as questions are left unanswered. Then slowly, LaCour unveils the answers. We learn about Mabel and Marin through flashbacks. We learn about Gr...
