The Nil trilogy is complete!

It's here!!!!

NIL ON FIRE is out today!

Now you can find out ALL THE ISLAND secrets!:)

Join me for a Twitter party TOMORROW night at 8:30 pm EST!

And, I'm going on tour! Come see me in Jacksonville, Tampa, Thomasville, GA & more!

July events: Vero Beach & Gainesville....details coming soon!

Above all, thank you to my readers for making this day possible. The #NILtribe is AMAZING. NIL ON FIRE is for you!

Anniversary Post...and NIL ON FIRE COUNTDOWN!

ONE DAY UNTIL NIL ON FIRE IS IN YOUR HANDS!!!:) Ahhhhh!

Having a May 31 release date is really cool for me, because I think (yes I'm totally biased and completely unreliable lol) that the Nil series is a perfect summer read. So grab you favorite beach towel, an umbrella if you like, a cool glass of water, and head down to the sand...

and tomorrow you can take NIL ON FIRE with you!:)

WOOHOO!

(Note: Today is the last day to enter the NIL ON FIRE preorder contest. Details are here.)

Overall, this weekend has been made of awesome. It's Memorial Day Weekend, a weekend that is full of feels for me, because 21 years ago this weekend I got married to the love of my life!

Here's us, 21 years ago:

babies!:)

And us celebrating just last year:

Steve has been my rock and biggest fan when I started writing, and he still is.:) I wouldn't have the Nil trilogy without him. He's my best friend, lover, partner in every awesome adventure, and the best dad ever to our four sons. Life is richer when you love the people you're traveling with!:)

And...now? This weekend will always mark the end of the Nil series for me! Because tomorrow, THE FIRE IS HERE!

NIL ON FIRE, the last book in the Nil trilogy, releases tomorrow!

This week's teaser:

So happy almost release day for the #NILtribe, happy anniversary to my hubby, and happy almost summer to everyone!:)

One day until the Nil series is complete. Who's ready?:)

Friday Five

Hi y'all! I haven't done a Friday Five in a while, so why not today?:)

Let's do it! Here we go...


#5. Last five books I've read and loved:

The Winner's Kiss by Marie Rutkowsi
Riders by Veronica Rossi
Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard
The Living by Matt De La Pena
Frozen Tides, by Morgan Rhodes


#4. Next five books on my TBR List (in no particular order):

The Crown's Game by Evelyn Skye
A Court of Mist & Fury by Sarah J. Mass
Girl Against the Universe by Paula Stokes
Need by Joelle Charbonneau
Wink, Poppy, Midnight by April Genevieve Tucholke

Which should I read first?


#3. Five Cool Things You Might Not Know About The Nil series:


The Nil series has been translated into multiple languages, and Nil just sold to Columbia! Nil Unlocked recently released in Turkey...with more countries to follow.

Nil began in Hawaii--that's where the idea for Nil was born. See this post for more scoop.


NIL UNLOCKED incorporates some American history and science that is absolutely true. As for how it factors into the Nil world...well, I MADE THAT UP.;)

At the the end of NIL UNLOCKED, Skye has not let Nil go. OR IS IT THE OTHER WAY AROUND? Or is it both? Nil on Fire holds the answer....

I have a super cool announcement coming soon about Skye's uncle's journal... Stay tuned!



#2. Five Cool Things You Might Not Know About NIL ON FIRE:


In NIL ON FIRE, three of the four main characters return to Nil. NO  I CAN'T TELL YOU WHICH ONES. You have to read the book.:;)

The books starts with Paulo, picking up right where NIL UNLOCKED lefts off.

There are three points of view...and one of them belongs to Nil.

You meet new characters from Australia, Columbia, America, and more. Don't get attached... *spoiler alert* many of them die. BECAUSE IT'S NIL AND NIL ISN'T HAPPY.

NIL ON FIRE ends the series.


#1. Five Things I'm Stoked About for May:

Um, DUH. NIL ON FIRE!!!

NIL ON FIRE RELEASES IN 25 days!!!

IKR?! Can. Not. WAIT!

Because I'm so excited, I'm going to count the release of NOF as all five, because in my mind, it's five kinds of awesome.:) Don't forget to enter the pre-order contest to win cool stuff!

25 days!!!!!

Now, I'll leave you with this week's NOF teaser...

Happy Friday!

Throwback Thursday? Flashback Friday? YOU PICK. :)

So NIL came out two year ago. March 2014, to be exact. And I still love this books and my characters....SO MUCH.:)

There are so many quotes from NIL that I love, and today, I'd thought I'd share a few, especially those that play into NIL ON FIRE!

Ready?

Here's a little Throwback Thursday, or maybe it's an early Flashback Friday. OR MAYBE I JUST LIKE THAD. ;)

Yasssss... all the feels!

BUT THERE'S MORE.
