I’m excited that my new YA fantasy Parallel Visions is now out in the world! To celebrate, I’m having a contest. Help me get the word out about Parallel Visions, and you’ll be entered to win bookstore giftcards and an ebook reader. It’s $2.99 ebook, and $7.99 print. It’s up on Amazon, Kobo, and Smashwords (where you can get it in every ebook format, including for Nook), and will be up on B&N in a few weeks.
Parallel Visions deals with being different, domestic violence, attempted suicide, rape, and asthma, all in a fantasy setting. Like all my books, it’s also written with suspense and hope, and some of my own trauma and abuse experience.
Evelyn Fazio, the same editor who edited my books Scars and Hunted, edited Parallel Visions. I care a lot about Parallel Visions, just like I do all my books. I hope you’ll help me get the word out.
Check out the book trailer!
Help me get the word out about Parallel Visions, and you can win:
- 1 of 2 bookstore giftcards for $10 (at Amazon, Kobo, Barnes and Noble, or any other online bookstore)
- 1 of 2 bookstore giftcards for $5 (at Amazon, Kobo, Barnes and Noble, or any other online bookstore)

a Rafflecopter giveaway
Enter to win a Sony Digital Reader, a $100, $50, or $25 gift card to Amazon.com (or any online bookstore) plus a copy of SCARS just for sharing the SCARS book trailer! You can also get 5 bonus entries for every copy of SCARS that you purchase. Read on for details.
I am SO excited about my novel SCARS coming out! It took me 10 years to get it published. I felt so alone and had so much shame for many years about using self-harm to cope with the abuse. I know it would have helped me to know I wasn’t alone. I hope, through SCARS, that more people will know they’re not alone, and that people who haven’t used self-harm to cope might gain a bit more compassion, as well as enjoy a good read.
I created this contest to celebrate SCARS’ release. I hope you’ll enjoy watching the book trailer, and that you’ll want to let others know about it. To entice you to do that, AND to help me spread the word about SCARS, I’ve created this contest. I hope you’ll join me, and have fun!

This book sounds amazing! I can’t wait to read it. I admire how you don’t shy away from tough, somewhat taboo topics, like rape. It’s real life, and you show us what it’s really like. I’m interested to see how all this unfolds in a fantasy setting.
Thank you so much, Lori; I really appreciate hearing that! (smiling at you)
All your books sound great. I am looking forward to sitting down and reading them. I love that you are writing about and bringing awareness to the tough topics. Books can be a great way to start a conversation and tough issues are so important to talk about. And it’s important for teens to know they are not alone. Thank you.
Thank you, Rebecca! (smiling) It was lovely to read what you wrote. I also think books can be a great, safe way to read about issues that can be hard. I care about that so much–helping others know they’re not alone, helping others find ways to hear/read about painful issues.
For those who have not read this book, go read it this weekend! It’s awesome. Also, if you haven’t read her other books, you need to do that as well. I am a huge fan and love not only the story line but the values and help she provides in each book.
Cheryl, once again, best of luck on all your writing endeavors
Thanks so much, Tina! I love that you love my books and help get the word out so much. Thank you!
This is so awesome I love your first 2 books!!! Merry Christmas
Thank you, Krista; that’s lovely to hear!
