I feel a mushy moment coming on…
/mushymomenton
I’m not into making resolutions. Never have been. I’m more of a look back and reflect kind of girl. And 2011 had a lot to reflect on.
Getting a contract and finding out you’re going to be published is amazing. Really. I thought it was a high like no other. A dream come true and the first steps down what I hope to be a long road filled with many stories. So what could possibly top that?
You guys.
See, it was an amazing feeling to have my debut out there for the world, but you all made it unbelievable.
So from the tips of my toes, to the top on my head, thank you. For your support, for all the Dez and Kale love… I can’t tell you what an honor it was to see TOUCH show up on so many end of year lists. I look forward to all the awesome this new year will bring and wish you all a healthy and prosperous 2012!

I’ve got not one awesomesauce cover to share, but two!
On Monday, January 2nd, the cover and blurb for TOXIC, the second book in the Denazen series, will be revealed!
Then, the following week, on Monday January 9th, the cover and blurb for the novella UNTOUCHED, (Denazen 1.5 in Kale’s POV) will be revealed.
If your interested in participating in either reveal, send me an email, twitter DM, or leave a comment with your email and blog address. Let me know which (if not both) you’d like to do.
Details will go out over the weekend and I’ll leave sign up open until midnight EST on Friday.
The names of all the bloggers participating will be entered into a drawing and one winner will receive….
A TOUCH swag pack. Signed postcard, bookmark, magnet and charm!
(Technical difficulties. I’ll post a pic asap. Technology is not cooperating tonight…)
I know. Not really a song.
But Foamy rocks my world, so he automatically gets a spot.
If you don’t know Foamy, Check out Ill Will Press
(Side note – Foamy tends to be a bit mouthy so be aware that there’s probably some colorful language in this clip)
Dominick the Donkey is my mom’s favorite Christmas song. She’ll play it over and over and over (and over and over….) all season long.
Because of that, it’s grown on me…
Kind of like fungus… But it wouldn’t be Christmas without it. 
A list by me would never be compleate without something Warcraft themed…
So…
Awesome song.
World of Warcraft theme.
Need I say more?
Wanna get your hands on three of 2011s must read YA novels? To celebrate the holidays, I’ve got an awesomesauce contest to share with you! Click the rafflecopter thingy for deets.
Continuing on with the Christmas countdown, today we have none other than the spongy yellow, pineapple dwelling, dude, Spongebob!
I’m not a huge Spongebob fan, but I heard this a week ago and I think it’s pure awesomesauce!
Not traditional as far as holiday music, but sound advice 
I’ve been slacking a little on the Saturday Sing Alongs, so to make up for it, I’m doing an entire week of em!
From now until Christmas, I want to share some of my favorite holidays songs–some traditional–some…not so much
This one was one of my grandmother’s favorites. As a kid, she played it for me ever year. It always makes me think of her 
Plus, Hippos FTW!
It’s been kind of an amazing week for me. I signed contracts for a brand new YA series coming in 2013, and TOUCH got excellent news on the foreign front and sold to Russia! I don’t travel (that pesky little plane issue I have…), but Dez and Kale will be going to Russia and France. (lucky ducks…)
To celebrate, I’m doing a SSA! I’ve been slacking lately, but things are calming down (a little), so here’s one for Dez and Kale. It’s from the playlist of TOXIC. It’s actually a scene song. *hinthint – Dez and Kale have their first official date*
The Saturday Sing Along is where we come together to share the beats pounding in our brains. Got a song you just can’t get out of your head? Find the perfect tune for your current WIP? Leave a comment and share your favorites!
I’m squeeing hardcore and and am thrilled to announce that I’ve sold a new series to Entangled Publishing in a three book deal!
The GATEKEEPER series is YA urban fantasy romance and will be published in 2013. I’m thrilled to continue working with Entangled and am beyond psyched to have the opportunity to share these characters with all of you.
I’ll get a short synopsis up after the Turkey Day craziness calms down
The Gatekeeper
