Unforgivable_final coverMy new book UNFORGIVABLE comes out in exactly TWO MONTHS, so I’m celebrating by announcing an exciting pre-order campaign I’m doing with my favorite local indie bookstore, Malaprop’s.

 

When you pre-order UNFORGIVABLE from Malaprop’s Bookstore, you will receive an extra super special gift: a limited edition, handmade chapbook of my short story “Under the Wall.” Even after publishing seven novels, this short story is still one of my favorite things I’ve written, and it was the inspiration for my first novel BEAUTIFUL.

Hello! I am so excited to finally share the cover for UNFORGIVABLE, the sequel to INVINCIBLE!

Isn’t it so beautiful?!

UNFORGIVABLE starts right where INVINCIBLE left off (at the very mean cliff-hanger), but the story switches to Marcus’s point of view instead of Evie’s. It’s a sequel, but I think you’ll enjoy it even if you haven’t read the first book yet. Marcus will fill you in on everything you need to know 🙂 [Read more…] about UNFORGIVABLE cover reveal and ARC GIVEAWAY!

INVINCIBLE comes out in ONE WEEK!

Invincible_tagline_final.inddHi! You guys, I’m so excited that my new book INVINCIBLE is only a week away from hitting the bookshelves (on April 28). Of course, you can always pre-order it now to make sure you get it as soon as it’s available. Talk to the nice folks at your local indie bookstore, or order from one of these fine places:

An audiobook will also be available! Check out the retailers above, or Audible.com. [Read more…] about INVINCIBLE comes out in ONE WEEK!

Look what I just got in the mail!

A big box of CLEAN paperbacks! Hot of the presses!

The paperback officially comes out May 8 in fine stores everywhere, but you can pre-order it now. Only $7.99 on the Simon & Schuster site. What a deal!

There are a lot of books in that box, and I’d love to do something good with them. I donated a bunch of my hardcover copies to the Association of Recovery Schools, and I recently donated a huge chunk of my YA library to the Sacramento Youth Detention Facility. I really want to find some more juvenile halls or adolescent rehab facilities to send copies of CLEAN. If you know of any places like this that have libraries, please send me the info!

Love,

Amy
