Summertime Blues

Is it just me? Am I the only one? I love my children! I love them so much, but heaven help me, I want them to go back to school. This is the first summer I've tried to write from home while they've been home. Last year we did this summer program and they were gone having fun while I was plugging away at my next novel. This year we decided to just let them have a laid back summer at home, and let me tell you there has been nothing laid back about it.
Oh, the interruptions.
The drama.
The food requests.
And holy crap, the mess!!
I love my kids, I love my kids, I really, really love my kids.
Now go back to school already.
All that being said, my plans have been hijacked by four little stinkers and four more not so little stinkers.
My next book focusing on Noah Jacobs from Dating: One on One will be coming a little (ok, a lot) later than I was expecting. I have a week and a half left before school starts and I just need to enjoy my kiddos before they go back to school and stop sitting in front of my computer accomplishing nothing because they need me to be Mom, especially the one who's potty training (I'm really hoping that after 16+ years of raising kids, I'm almost done with diapers. Cross your fingers for me!)
Anyway, hope all of you are enjoying your summer if you still have some of it left!
Cheers!

The pitfalls of self-publishing

     I wish I could say I was perfect, but since that isn't happening, I'll just admit I'm human. I released my new book Street Ball at the end of June and waited patiently (or not) for people to read it like they've done for my other books and well, let's just say that didn't happen.
     I had this vision for my story and what it was and I put it out there a certain way and ker-plunk! The vision I had didn't really fit in with my brand. So, I stewed about it and stewed some more and finally decided I should just make some changes.
    Since a lot of people haven't already read this book, and the contents haven't changed at all, I went ahead and changed the name and cover and promise not to forget who I am the next time I decide to publish a book. Oops!
    I hope you will take the time to read Piper and Drew's story. I had a lot of fun with them and hope you will, too!

Sincerely,
Stephanie

Coming Soon - Street Ball

Coming soon my new book Street Ball!  I should have this book ready for purchase in a few weeks. I'm shooting for mid-June!

Street Ball will be the first book in a new basketball series that will follow the talented athletes at Eastridge Heights High School. In the first book, we meet Drew Thompson, a superstar basketball player who refuses to play for the high school team. Pressures from his family and issues in his past prevent him from using his gift for basketball to help the team win the State Championship.

Can anything, or anyone, change Drew's mind?

Piper Hines is the star of Eastridge Heights girl's team. For the last few years she's been unlucky in love. As the tallest girl in her high school, its harder than one might think to find a guy. Enter the new guy, Drew Thompson. Tall, dark, and mysterious Drew catches Piper's interest right away. But Drew's not interested in Piper any more than he is in basketball. Or is he?

The Perks of Hating You

by

My new book!  Woohoo!  I really enjoyed delving into Eden's world. Eden has some difficult things to learn about herself and the world and along the way the person she is most determined to not love is there for her. Dylan struggles to maintain his distance from his best friend's little sister- bro code demands it, right? But he's there for her when she needs him and it is almost impossible not to fall in love with the adorable little girl who's grown into a beautiful young woman.

Find out how Eden and Dylan juggle their differences and obstacles in The Perks of Hating You. Also, get some new insight into Connor and Allie's relationship from The Perks of Dating You. 

As always, thanks for reading and don't forget to leave a review!

Announcing Upcoming Projects

Hey there!

Some of you have expressed an interest in hearing more about Connor and Allie from my book The Perks of Dating You. While I won't be devoting another entire novel to Connor and Allie, I am in the midst of working on a new book which will follow Allie's cute best friend, Eden Crenshaw. Some comments mentioned loose ends in regard to Eden and the Secret Incident during her and Allie's sophomore year of high school. This new book will address that issue and many others as we get to know Eden and get to know Connor and Allie from Eden's perspective, which I hope will be fun for fans of the main characters from the original Perks.

Be sure to look for my new book, The Perks of Hating You, coming at the end of March or the beginning of April depending on my two year old who likes to sit in my lap while I'm writing.

And if you really can't get enough of the Perks world, I am also planning a third book which will be ready early summer and will delve into the life of Allie's almost love interest Jamie Barnes, or as Connor so affectionately calls him Jamie freaking Barnes. The title for this book is still in the brainstorming phase. Let me know if you have any ideas.

For those of you who are interested in Calling London, the sequel to my book Chasing Paris, I'm sorry, that project has been put on hold. It is still going to happen, but it might not come about until later this year.

I love reading your comments and reviews, please keep them coming!
Thanks!
