1. Hey, Girl--Get Yer Struck On! Ryan Gosling did...


So, Struck (the 3-in-1 bind-up of my Stupid Cupid trilogy) released on December 6 in paperback and ebook for the amazeballs bargain price of $9.99--my little baby's all grown up and out there in the world for everyone to read. *sniffle*

I had so much fun writing this trilogy. It was a lot of hard work getting here, but I'm so, so glad I pushed myself to keep at it, through all the rough spots. There's nothing quite as humbling as seeing your book on the bookshelves--it never, ever gets old. I'm eternally grateful Simon Pulse took a chance on Felicity and her matchmaking shenanigans. (And I looooooove this cover!!)

My hands-down favorite scene in the first book of the trilogy was when Felicity walked in on her parents...uh...let's say, getting intimate. She'd decided a great anniversary present for them would be to give the gift of love, so she matchmade them--not realizing they'd be all over each other like white on rice. I giggled SO HARD when writing it, imagining how horrified I'd be if I caught my parents like that--uh, no offense, Mom and Dad.

Apparently, Ryan Gosling liked that scene as well--read what he had to say about it in the always-hilarious "Hey, Girl" meme: http://bit.ly/uxFos0

Struck is available in print at Barnes and Noble in the US, and Chapters in Canada. It's possibly at some independent bookstores too...if you spot it at an indie store, please let me know! And, of course, it's available online--here's where you can find it:

Amazon
Barnes and Noble
Indiebound
Books-a-Million

Just in case you're interested, here's the blurb for Struck:

Felicity Walker believes in true love. That’s why she applies for a gig at the matchmaking company Cupid’s Hollow. But when Felicity gets the job, she learns that she isn’t just a matchmaker...she’s a cupid! (There’s more than one of them, you know.) Armed with a hot pink, tricked-out PDA infused with the latest in cupid magic (love arrows shot through email), Felicity works to meet her quota of successful matches. But the path to love is not always a straight shot....
