I've stayed well dressed and kept my big mouth shut

Ten friendship dollars if you can tell me what song that blog post title is from.

It may or may not be from the best band to ever walk the planet (other than Lights... who is tied with them).

Now on to real things.

I have a release date for "Rose Tinted"!!!

So remember that one time I wrote a book called "Sugar Coated", and you guys read it. And everything seemed fine and dandy until like the last twenty pages of the book? And then you all hated me and were left like this?

That's going to happen again... except this time with "Rose Tinted". I'm sorry. I am so sorry. But not really because I can't wait to leave you all hanging! Bwahahahahaha! It's one of the perks of being an author.


What was this post about again? Oh right! The release date.

So now that none of you want to read "Rose Tinted" because you'll hate me for things, the release date is

MAY 17th!

So there you have it! Yay for a "Rose Tinted" release date! And I can't wait to show you the cover... which doesn't exist yet. So really, I can't wait to see the cover myself!

Now, onto the next bit of business.

Some exciting news in store for "Pwned"! I'll be joining up with some other awesome authors who also wrote a bunch of nerdy gamer books to do an e-book bundle! It'll have a limited run of only a few months, but still. Pretty awesome to meet a bunch of fellow nerd writers and let our nerd powers explode all over the internet! So keep an eye out for that! I'll keep you all posted :)

And lastly, you may have noticed me leaving all sorts of creepy book excerpts around the internets (yes... multiple internets... because I'm just that thorough). This is from a book I'm writing called "Parrish", and while that doesn't mean anything to you guys right now, I just had to share my beautifully creepy new character Jefferson Parrish with his super unsettling head tilt and Tim Burton-y clothes. Because as Code Name: Sparkle Pony once said, "Creepy is the new Cute". And I couldn't agree with her more.

It's about ghost hunters. And I'm so excited. And here's one more creepy cute little gif I'll leave you with! Look at that hair... and those cheek bones.

Okay that's all I swear.

Look out for "Rose Tinted", and pictures of my sad face after I don't win the Whitney for "Chasing June", and the pictures of my happy face that I got to stalk Mindy Holt at the award ceremony anyway and got to eat food and wear a pretty dress, annnnnnd look out for Parrish. Because it'll be here before you know it :)

Until next time,

Shannen
