I'm very excited to announce that I've finished my Contributor trilogy and that the final book is now available on Amazon!

Haven't started the trilogy yet? Contributor (book 1) and Infiltrator (book 2) are also both available on Amazon, as is Creators, a free prequel novella.
You can also sample the first six chapters of Contributor on my site, starting here.

(Psst: if you haven't read the previous two books yet, you may want to steer clear of this description as it does contain some spoilers.)

Instigator: The final book in the YA/NA dystopian and post-apocalyptic Contributor trilogy
Disillusioned and angry at the revelation of the Free Thinkers’ secret patron, Dara isn’t sure whether her decision to join them was the right choice. Guilt over Letizia’s loss plagues her, and she feels betrayed by one of the few people in whom she placed her trust.

Adjusting to life outside of the domes hasn’t been easy over the past six months, especially because the Free Thinkers’ progress is so frustratingly slow. Nothing has changed, and she doesn’t know how much longer she can deny her searing need for vengeance, or even whether she should place her faith in the Free Thinkers. The more the truth about both them and the Creators is revealed, the less certain she is that the two are all that different. What if she handed them the incriminating evidence they need to exploit to ensure a future that looks a lot like what the Creators envisioned?

Yet Dara has never been more certain of one thing: the Creators must pay—for what they did to her mother, for what they did to Letizia, and for what they’ve done to humanity.

Instigator is available on Amazon.

Cover reveal: Instigator, the final book in the Contributor trilogy

After a lot of time, angst, writing, editing, and more writing and editing, the release date for the final book in the Contributor series is almost here. I don't have a firm date yet, but the book will be out by the end of June.

I thought I might feel sad about finishing, and I do feel some sadness. I'll miss these characters. I've spent more time with them than I have with any of my other characters. However, I'm excited too. Trying to finish the trilogy scared me for a long time because I was afraid of screwing it up, but I'm very happy with how the story turned out, and I hope readers will be too.

A word of caution: If you haven't read the first two books in the trilogy, you might not want to read the description for this book as it gives some plot elements away.

Novel In Progress: My latest writing experiment

5/29/2014

Here's the thing about me as a writer: I like to tinker. I don't just mean playing around with the plot of my novel or tweaking aspects of the characters. I mean that I like to challenge myself, to try new things, to experiment in ways that could lead to epic disaster or, hopefully, epic awesomeness.

And now I'll reveal a big secret to you: my least favorite part of being an author is self-promotion. Seriously, I don't like it. I'm interested in a lot of things, but marketing isn't one of them. I understand how important it is, and I get why some people are passionate about it and enjoy it, but I'm not one of them. If I could hide in my writing cave and do nothing but produce work, I'd be happy.

However, I also like it when people read my writing, so the question is how to let more people know about it. While reading a middle grade graphic novel written by an artist who started out doing webcomics, I hit upon the answer: put material out there, let people find it, and see what grows from there.

So that's what I'm doing. I started up a new, original new adult fantasy romance novel and I'm posting it chapter by chapter. The entire book will eventually be available on my site for free, both in its rough draft form and its final form. You can read more about my scheme here.

Some of you may already have read one or more of my books, and for that I thank you. Seriously, thank you very, very much. It still overwhelms me that people devote their free time to reading a book I wrote. And if you haven't read anything I've written before, I hope you'll like this. But regardless of whether you're new to my work or already familiar with it, I hope the novel in progress will keep you coming back for more.

Without further ado, I present to you Forbidden, chapter 1.

(Psst: I plan on serving up chapter 2 later today, so be on the lookout!)
