Young Adult & Middle Grade Novels
Mercy Lily released on October 8th, 2011 and I'm thrilled to report it's available at Barnes and Noble stores across the country as well as several Indie bookstores!
It's received praise from Voice of Youth Advocate (VOYA) and featured on YALSA's, The Hub, blog as a recognized debut.
From VOYA:
Mercy Lily is a thought-provoking young adult novel about an Oregon teenager face with the hardest decision of her life -- and her mother's.
Order your copy at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Indiebound, or contact me if you'd like a signed copy through Boswell Books in Milwaukee.

From VOYA:
"Mercy Lily is a quick and enjoyable read, if a bit simple for the complex subject matter on which the novel is based. The conflicting emotions of Lily, the lead character, are described in such a way that any reader can easily sympathize with her inner turmoil, making this story a page-turner, especially because nothing, including both the virtuous and the shameful, is held back. Those who enjoy well written character development should take a look at Mercy Lily. 4Q, 3P. Reviewer: Teen Reviewer"
And "Teen readers will find this novel both affecting and thought provoking as they identify with Lily's agony and examine their own beliefs."

I'm currently working on a new middle grade novel, code-named Dream that is so fun and humorous, (series perhaps?!) I wish I could hole up for a week and finish it. I've had two very positive critiques on this by editors in the past year and I'll be shopping it to agents soon!
~~~
Another novel, Goodbye Cajun Moon, is in the revision stage and I'm letting it simmer right now.
On top of that, I'm taking notes for another YA -- a sci-fi medical thriller and it is intense!
More nonfiction proposals are in the works, too. I'll be shopping a series proposal and my fingers are crossed.
Stay tuned...
