Thanks so much to everyone who celebrated the release of HOME SWEET DRAMA with me! :D It's sooo cool to have it out now and I hope everyone's enjoying it. I'm already counting down the days till July 6 when CITY SECRETS comes out.
I want to confirm an announcement that was discussed on the Canterwood forum. I addressed the rumor there (check out the link to see the discussion), but wanted to say on my blog that it IS true--the 12th Canterwood book (UNFRIENDLY COMPETITION) will be the last with Sasha as the narrator. The reasoning is explained on the forum, so check there for my response. Sasha will still be around for books 13-16, I promise! It's going to be fun and exciting to write from a different character's POV and I'm thrilled to keep Canterwood going. :)
I can't believe it's time for book #8 in the Canterwood Crest series! Ahhh!! We're at the halfway point now of sixteen books and it's. . . well, hard to articulate how I feel. Excited. Humbled. Scared. (And scared because I don't want to disappoint my reader girlies with any book.) Thrilled. Etc.
After eight books, I'm in love with my characters as ever and their horses. The adventures at Canterwood are continuing and I love being along for the ride.
Shout outs and sparkles to the Simon & Schuster team, our photographer, amazing models and the readers who allow me to live my dream to write. Special xoxo to Editor Kate for working her magic and putting her talent into this book.
Yaaaay, HSD! :D
So, since it's a special day, I'm opening comments! I want you to tell me what YOUR sparkle is! :) Mine, of course, is lip gloss and hanging out with my BFF.
Leave a comment here or Tweet at me or Editor K. We can't wait to hear about your sparkle!
PS: Comments have gotten sticky in the past, so please keep them clean. If there's any drama, I'll have to close them and that would be sad. :( So post away on what makes you happy and yaaay HOME SWEET DRAMA!
Hi, guys!
Sorry if when I was going to announce the winner of HOME SWEET DRAMA was clear. I meant to add to that post that I wouldn't announce until Monday because I just got back from Florida last night. The posts you all read were already pre-written and set to post on certain days.
So...
the winner (by random drawing) is...
Olivia Alison M!
Olivia, I'm Facebooking you the info! CONGRATULATION! *sparkles*
There will be tons more give aways for CITY SECRETS, so no worries if you didn't win.
I'm still exhausted from my awesome trip and will recap soon. But now, it's time for a bagel and OJ in bed with NEW MOON On Demand. :)
writing this. That is all. :) Go #8!
Oh, and a random tip--do not grab a hot pole in your apartment to see if it's really on. A tap of a finger would be plenty if hot pole is indeed on. If this was a Tweet it would end with #aptfail
Been slow going on HOME SWEET DRAMA today. I had a bunch of errands today and then I haven't been able to get back into the draft. I'm still ahead of schedule, which is great, but it's just an off day. Grr. And, plus, I forgot to get Red Bull when I went out. *annoyed*
I did, however, successfully make Lauren Barnholdt's pumpkin spice latte recipe. It wasn't that complicated and it tastes soooo good. I've got an addiction to the ones at Starbucks, but refuse to keep paying that price for coffee. I'd rather spend the $$ on other stuff!
Speaking of Team Barnhart, we're meeting up with Ross and The Boy (Lauren's Boy) for sparkly drinks at Cowgirl when LB comes to NYC tomorrow. I've never been to Cowgirl, but everyone says it's amazing. I can't wait.
Back to the draft...
The blog has been a little quiet because I've been working hard on the draft of HOME SWEET DRAMA. I'm 30 pages in and and I usually really get going around page 50. The first 50, for some reason, are always the hardest. It feels like an uphill climb where I'm not sure if I can make it. Even at book eight, I'm crazy paranoid like, "Whoa. What if I can't write another book?!" But then the rational side kicks in and I go back to my chapter by chapter outline and know what I have to do.
So things are moving ahead on that. I typed 9 pages yesterday (eh, but whatever!) and want 10 today. I think it's possible just because of the amount of caffeine I'm about to go out and purchase. :)
Going to be purposely cryptic because it's necessary, but I got the most amazing gift yesterday. BFF got me a signed copy of this author's second book. I'd read the first book and actually wrote on the pages, put sticky notes in the margins and got more out of this book than any other I've ever read. Holding the new book with a note to me inside was so special. So. Amazing.
Anyway...
Will vlog soon! I'm planning to read the first chapter (and likely the second) of BEST ENEMIES. I can't believe it'll be out so soon. Yay!
I Tweeted this pic yest, but in case you don't have Twitter I wanted to share it. That's the BFF's cat who watched me work yesterday. She's usually attracted to my handbrace that I wear when I type. And when I say "attracted," I mean she attacks it and then falls in love with it when I take it off and put it on the couch.
Got 10 pgs typed yesterday--not even close to what I wanted (*bangs head*), but I'm starting again now and we'll see what happens. Every bit of housecleaning that can be done is complete so I can't be distracted with any of that. Lame, right? But that's become my "I can't work because I have to sweep/mop/do dishes, etc" even though it's not necessary. Things are sparkling now so no excuses. I've got coffee and Diet Coke on my bedside table and have my twinkly Halloween lights plugged in, which makes me happy.
Btw, I talked about it on the Canterwood forum, but if you notice on Amazon.com or B&N that there's a different pub date for Rival Revenge (#7)--it's true! The book is coming out in January instead of Feb. Very cool because it comes out on Jan 26 and my birthday's on Jan 29. Fun week!
Off to work!
PS- NaNoWriMo starts next month!! Who's doing it? If you are, friend me! :)
Yay first comment! :)
My sparkle is curling up in my fuzzy blanket and reading a good horse book (especially Canterwood :D)
I like nail polish a lot, to :)
Congrats on your 8th book, Jess! :)
Wow!!!! I am soooo exited about HSD!!! I cAn't wait till after school when I get it. Anyway my sparkles goes to my bffs and of course the schoolpony that I ride
-Sara S
My sparkle is definitely when I arrive at the barn, and my horse has her head over her stall, neighing for me. Especially if it's a night of no homework, so I can ride forever. It's the only thing better than cherry lip gloss, glittery nail polish, pinkness and of course, a huge piece of chocolate cake.
I LOVED HSD, and am already dying for the next to come out. I really liked the cover picture too, and the story was amazing. Congratulations!!!!
I was lucky enough to get my hands on Home Sweet Drama last Friday, but didn't read it until Sunday because we had company until Sunday afternoon. I loved it, it was soooo good! My sparkle is reading a good book (* cough * Canterwoood * cough *), having fun with friends, doing well at dance, and lip gloss :D Congratulations on Home Sweet Drama, Jess!
OMG Jess ur books r AMAZING!!!!!!! My sparkle is def. riding my pony and of course reading CC. Keep writing! I luv ur books!!!
Hi!!! i'm on sprind break, and ym aunt, who works at barnes & noble is going to get me the book! yay! And i wanted to give a shout out to Suzanne Weyn, she's starting a new series, she's already has to book's that came out in march, the first one, that i'm reading right now is called Daring to Dream, and the second one, is called Playing for keeps.it's about a thirteen year old girl named taylor, her parent's had split up recently, and she loves horses & riding but her mom is to poor to pay for lesson's, here's thew summary on the back of the first book:
Taylor Henry Loves horses, but her single mom can't afford riding lessons, much less a horse. So when she discovers an abandoned gelding, and pony, Taylor is happy just to be around them. But the rescued animals have nowhere to go, and Taylor is running out of time to find them a good home. could the empty, dirty, old barn on Wildwood Lane be the answer? And could Taylor's wildest dream-a horse of her own-finaly come true?
Well I hope you guy's check it out! But Canterwood Crest, will alway's be the best! Hope erick and Sasha get back together! Hope callie and Jacob fall down a well! Hope Paige and what's his anme get together! Love you Jess!
I have so many sparkles I don't know where to start! Canterwood, fresh's new Rose lip gloss, Halloween, kitty cats, and DEFINITELY mani/pedis with my BFF!

Editor K
My sparkle has to be my wonderful mare. I'm so blessed to have a horse and I will never take that for granted. I love you Dottie! Any other sparkles would have to be writing and music. But my horse is def #1 in sparkle content!
