Introduction

Hi there and welcome to my blog! I'm in the process of getting my debut young adult novel, The Lipstick Laws, published through Graphia (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt's teen imprint). It's expected to be out on shelves by the spring of 2011 and I'm ecstatic about it! Becoming a published author is a dream I've had since childhood and it's still surreal to me that it's actually happening!

I plan on sharing the ups and downs of my publication journey through this blog. I'd also like to share tidbits about me, my book, things I find amusing, and juicy scandals in my personal life... which, on second thought, unless you consider going through the 10 items or less grocery line with 11 items scandalous (shampoo and conditioner should be considered one item, right?), I probably won't have much to blog about on the scandal front (sorry to disappoint). However, on the scandalous bright side, every now and then I may write about various reality show shenanigans... like who got voted off of American Idol before his/her time, who gained a pound on the Biggest Loser, which back-stabber got the final rose on The Bachelor, or who had to eat rotten fish intestines on Survivor... After all, I have to keep this blog well rounded!

Thanks for reading!
