Skater Kaylee Hensler might not be Miss Popular, but there are some friends a girl can do without. When the decaying ghost of a murdered girl decides they need to be total BFF’s, Kaylee will sacrifice the trust of her family, her swim coach’s respect, and any hope of a date for the Harvest Dance.
And oh yeah… discover that super-evil entities are nothing at all like they are on TV or in the movies Aside from seriously bad attitudes, they not only like to kill…but replay the killing again and again for all eternity. To avoid that fate, she’ll have to rely on her wheelchair-bound friend Davey, the mysterious Madame Maggie, and the surprising depth of her own power.
Will Kaylee survive, or will she become someone else's DFF: Dead Friend Forever?
Reviews:
"This book is exceptional! Turner takes a typical kid and ignites her courage to face unthinkable evil. Creepy, exciting, and totally cool, keep a light on when you read this one!" –M.K. Scott, author of Zamora's Ultimate Challenge (aka Michele Scott, The Wine Lovers Mysteries)
"Dead Friends Forever is a gripping tale of teenage turmoil taken to an extreme level. …it's more than a great story, it's a life, or shall I say, after-life event." –Matthew-Levi Kalik
"An incredible book…constantly changing and surprising me…sometimes leaving me breathless after an intense scene…one of the top books I've read…it has the power to leave anyone who reads it completely enthralled… A GREAT READ!!!!" –Skyler Byas
Bio:
During the long winters in central Wisconsin, J.R. Turner loves watching movies, doing arts and crafts and hanging out on MySpace. In the summer she can be found gardening, camping and enjoying the fresh water lakes and rivers. As a kid, her imagination got her in tons of trouble. At seven she dragged her five year old brother onto the roof of their two story home to practice for an imaginary flood, then later nearly drowned him when she imagined a five-foot tarantula in the shadows of the river bank. Many years later, she made her family proud when she won her first award for that very same talent. Today, she takes great pleasure in exploring exciting new story ideas and great characters, as well as chocolate of all kinds.

WHAT FUN! One of the best ever. I sold 20 books in all. Will be posting photos later when I get them from Alyssa.
BAD THING: Missing everyone the minute we leave the parking lot, not know who or when we'll see again.
We truly have a great group of authors, and this includes those who weren't here this weekend, too.

New website coming soon!
Thanks for posting the pics. It was so much fun. It was great meeting other Echelon authors. Everyone was so nice. I can't wait to meet the rest of the Echelon family.
The best part: Karen gave me great advice on how to promote my book...and it worked!
Ya'll look like you were having too much fun! Great to see more than just a pretty face!...I mean, I'm used to see headshots of these authors...and it's nice to know you have whole bodies!
Like Mary said, maybe next year!

I've met Jeff, Tee, and of course, Karen, before, but it was fun to meet Jenny, Pam, Alyssa, and the Fairy Lady "in de flesh" as they say. My feet were sore by the time I got home (Karen, I found my car but got lost getting to the freeway - LMAO), but I was still on Cloud 9. I'm probably down to Cloud 8 1/2 today. Housework tends to deflate one a little.
I sold 17 books, and each sale felt like my first time. It was the Most Fun Evah!
