Bad Bloods is officially up for pre-order everywhere! You can find the links below, but I will have additional information come out this Monday as well. (That is, if you didn’t receive my newsletter…which you should’ve…because we all know you signed up…but if you haven’t…(insert wink)…you can sign up for my newsletter by clicking here.

What I’m Writing:
I’m still working on D! But pre-order week is the craziest week ever. (Okay. Maybe not as crazy as release week, but alas…) Between my day job as an editor and my author goals, I was stupid busy, so I’m only 60,000 words into D. That being said, I also worked crazy hard on prepping the Bad Bloods Prequel. Yes, a prequel. And you can read more about that below.
What I’m Publishing:
Bad Bloods is officially up for pre-order! And because I’ve said it once before, here are those pre-order links again. You can read the first chapter on Wattpad by clicking here.
Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBooks, Kobo, Smashwords, Goodreads
As many of you heard, I’m also publishing a FREE prequel on Wattpad, but more news about that will come out on Monday’s blog post. If you want to get started anyway, you can read the How to Read These Stories and the first chapter—Adam—by clicking the links. I’ll be uploading a new origin story every other Friday. But, again, more information will be posted this Monday.
Other than all that craziness, Clean Teen Publishing is putting together a book trailer and business cards for me! (The book trailer is AWESOME. This will also release on Monday.) I also made five more teasers, which will start releasing THIS Tuesday. Seriously, from here on out, you can expect so much news on Bad Bloods to release on the regular. Get ready. This is going to be wild.
The #1lineWed preview this week was “nod.”
“You are not to say anything. Not a word. Don’t answer questions. Don’t look at them. Smile. Nod. Walk straight for the door.”

What I’m Reading:
The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater: Like everything else in my life, I didn’t have a lot of free time between work and pre-order chaos, so I’m still reading The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater (and a little disappointed she’s going to be within a two-hour drive of me on the 29th, but I can’t go). ARGH. I will meet her one day. I swear on it.
What I’m Listening To:
Melanie Martinez—I’m a bit obsessed with her (and her music videos). If you all haven’t checked her out—including if you only know Carousel from American Horror Story—I’m telling you right now, go check out her other songs. Dollhouse is my personal favorite, but Mad Hatter and Cry Baby are definitely up there.
What I’m Watching:
The Philosopher Kings, which is a documentary about the janitors who work at some of the most elite colleges in the US. Get some tissues, because you’re going to ugly cry with me. I highly recommend this documentary.
What I’m Baking, Making, and Drinking:
Banana Chocolate Bread Pudding: I used rye bread, heavy cream instead of milk, and dark chocolate chips instead, but here is the recipe I used. It was AWESOME. I will definitely make it again, especially when my bread is going stale.
What I’m Wearing:
Pajamas! (Sorry, Find Your Style KC. I know we talked about this during #AuthorinaCoffeeShop this week, but I simply love pajamas.) For those who didn’t make it to #AuthorinaCoffeeShop, Find Your Style KC is my personal shopper/lovely lady assistant. She helps dress me for public events. (Seriously. I need the help. I’m terrible at going out in public.)
Without a personal shopper, I’d wear pajamas to events. #AuthorinaCoffeeShop

What I’m Wanting:
Some serious writing time! Those weeks that really take that away from you can hurt. Bad.
What I’m Dreaming Of:
I had a dream of a sloth staring at me, and for some reason, I screamed myself out of my dream. Why? I have no idea. I love sloths. I think they are the cutest, ugly animal ever.
What Else Is Going On:
Have I mentioned Bad Bloods is up for pre-order?
Oh.
I have? Five times? Really?
Well.
This is awkward.

Good luck with the pre-orders.
Thank you!

Watched the Dollhouse video. And then like five of her other ones. I can’t tell if I like it or if it’s just do trippy I can’t look away.
I LOVE them. They seem very Tim-Burton like. She’s planning on making a video for every song but two, too, and I enjoy how her album tells a story.
