They can't have a deciding vote with only two people. They're going to need some help from Caleb's little brother--and maybe even Logan's twin sister!

The Rabbit Ate My Flip-Flops Release Date and Pre-order!

I'm super excited to announce that The Rabbit Ate My Homework is now available for pre-order on Amazon! Official launch day is September 16, 2015! Mark your calendars!

 
 
You can’t bring a rabbit camping. That’s what eleven-year-old Drew Montgomery’s grandparents say when his annoying little sister wants to bring their pet rabbit, Tiny, along on the trip. And Drew agrees. It's bad enough that he will miss the release of the coolest video game of the year while he's stuck in a cramped travel trailer for a week with his grandparents and sister. But Tiny is certain to cause trouble. Plus there are bears and eagles in the woods. And what if Tiny gets lost?

But Libby smuggles the rabbit into the trailer anyway. Now Drew’s got to keep Tiny out of trouble. And that’s not easy to do with Libby always letting him out of the cage and a pair of rabbit-hating bullies ready to let their dog chomp him if he gets too close.

Top it off with never-ending rain, bloodthirsty mosquitos, a broken toilet, stinky outhouses, angry squirrels, terrible food, and an eye-gougingly boring “schedule of activities.” Drew is about ready to take the rabbit and hitchhike home before disaster really strikes.

How to Cook Up a Disaster Audiobook Giveaway!

May is International Chick Lit Month. So to celebrate, I'm giving away 5 audiobook copies of How to Cook Up a Disaster, DIY Dating Book One!


Sadie Dawson's mother goes into labor hours before her great-grandfather's 100th birthday party and Mom refuses to cancel the festivities. Now it's up to domestically-challenged Sadie to host the dinner party--only she hasn't a clue how to cook a turkey.

This could be the mother of all culinary disasters, but with the help of her two best friends, Sadie is determined to pull off the best dinner party in a hundred years. And maybe land Mr. Right, too.


Mary Jane Wells' effortless narration adds just the right dash of spice to this breezy chick lit romantic comedy. You might just have seen her in the films Elena Undone and Meth Head, or as Josie Marks in the HBO series The Newsroom, or caught her work on the Downton Abbey audiobooks.

The DIY Dating Series:
Book One: How to Cook Up a Disaster
Book Two: How to Knit a Tangled Mess
Book Three: How to Wallpaper a Catastrophe (coming 2015)


Enter to win!

The "Bad" Picture Book Blog Hop

Today I am taking part in Dani Duck's "Bad" Picture Book Blog Hop where authors are posting pics of their early attempts at writing children's books. Here are links to the previous posts:

Feb. 9: Dani Duck, PEWE'S WONDERFUL ADVENTURE
Feb. 10: Becky Fyfe
Feb. 11: Marcie Colleen, RAINBOW HUNT
Feb. 12: Mandy Yates, A WORLD WITHOUT COLOR
Feb. 13: Sylvia Liu, MY EARLY WRITING AND DRAWINGS

Now it's my turn to share my "bad" first attempt at writing a picture book. I was in grade two and seven years old when I wrote this masterpiece. I couldn't tell you now what inspired the story, but I had decided I wanted to write a book, so I sat down with a cracker box, some paper, and tape and made myself a book. Then, once my book was assembled, I set to work on the story. This is not the best way to write a book as you'll see why later.
