New Book! New Website!

September 24, 2012 Filed Under: Ashley is awesome, Mrs. X can suck it, WCIBY

I’m super excited to finally share a little bit of information about my next book, Why Can’t I Be You!  It hits shelves on February 26th (complete with blurbs by three of my favorite authors: Amy Hatvany, Sarah Pekkanen, and Jen Lancaster)!

I have to admit that after spending so much time with Van, Janie, Pete, Alex & Joe, I worried I wouldn’t be able to fall in love with new characters, but I did.  I miss Jenny Shaw and the rest of the gang already and I can’t wait for you to get to know them too.

I’m thrilled to announce that WCIBY will be a Brilliance Audiobook!  Brilliance did an amazing job with Stay, and I even had the opportunity to meet the team at Brilliance during my book tour.  They are wonderful and I’m honored to get to hear Jenny tell her story!

Piemme in Italy and Blanvalet in Germany have already picked up the rights to WCIBY! Jenny Shaw is going international!

If you want to read a bit about the book, you can pop over to the Why Can’t I Be You page on my new website!

And speaking of my new website, it was an absolute joy to work with Ashley Cadaret from Little Leaf Photography and Design. I’ve been reading her blog, Our Little Apartment for five or six years now, and it’s so cool to watch her design business grow.

Ashley has been responsible for my past few Twitter backgrounds, and getting to work with her on a full site was a thrill!  The hardest part was picking just one of her gorgeous design concepts.  She’s intuitive and asks exactly the right questions. I feel like this site explains my personality visually.  It’s the perfect fit!  It’s also super easy for me to navigate and update. If you’re looking for a new website, get in touch with Ashley!

I’m already working on my next book and another project to boot, so I don’t want to over promise, but now that I have a gorgeous new website and blog, I’m hoping to blog a little more regularly.  See you again soon!

    We loved Stay, and got several friends to give it a try too. We’ll be waiting to read WCIBY, and I’m especially glad to hear that it will come out in audio. Good commuting time awaits!

Internationally bestselling author of STAY, WHY CAN'T I BE YOU and SWIMMING FOR SUNLIGHT. THE PEOPLE WE KEEP coming from @gallerybooks on 8/3/2021

A few days ago, I took this photo of turkeys while A few days ago, I took this photo of turkeys while I was out on a run, marveling at how wild animals do not seem to mind when they see me. Once, I almost bumped into a deer, the way a couple might meet-cute in a rom com. We just didn’t see each other. I’ve always thought it was a fun little quirk. Not even bunnies are afraid of me. But this afternoon on my run, I came up over a hill and was suddenly within fifteen feet of a wild boar. Thankfully, a year or two ago I got curious about the big traps that show up trailside around the bay, looked them up and learned about how fast, ruthlessly aggressive, and unpredictable a wild boar can be. Otherwise, I might have (stupidly) thought I was in the middle of another one of my Snow White moments and been all “Hello there, Mr. Pig! Look at you!” believing that I could quietly observe in wonder. Instead, I knew this was a bad situation. The boar grunted and moved to the center of the trail. It felt very ‘You shall not pass!’ But I did not want to pass. I wanted to get away. I backed slowly for a few moments and then turned and ran faster than I ever have in my whole life. I’ve since learned that there’s no way that boar chased me, because there’s no chance of outrunning a boar (climb a tree if you can). But I know that boar saw me and also wasn’t happy about the surprise, and I had a moment, racing back over the hills I’d just run — not daring to look behind me more than once or twice in fear I’d lose my footing — when I truly did not know what would happen. I’ve been in scary situations, but they were a different kind of scary. I don’t think I’ve ever flat out run for my life before, but that’s truly what I thought I was doing. Right now I am still full of adrenaline and also exhausted and so so thankful to be okay.
