RT

A few days ago, I returned from RT. Those of you who follow my blog know I had TLA, Edgefest, an Oklahoma City signing, and RT back-to-back. And last night, I had a library appearance.

Dante Walker

THE COLLECTOR, book 1 in the Dante Walker trilogy, released yesterday. It was a surreal experience to see so many people wishing Dante a happy book birthday after months of waiting. To say I’m thrilled with how the book is doing is an understatement. Yesterday, THE COLLECTOR hit the top 100 teen books on Amazon and is still kicking it there today. It was also in the top 250 books on Barnes & Noble in all categories, and I’ve been blown away by the amazing reviews you guys have posted!
