This is your sign to write your book. Two years ago I was 20k into my YA when an identical book was announced. It blocked me. But I'm reading that book now and while it's similar, it's just a good comp. I picked my YA again because my story is worth telling too.

Eleven years ago, I was unpublished, but came up a story idea I had to explore.

Now, the whole trilogy is published, I'm a NYT bestselling author, the first book in the series is in development as a motion picture franchise, and I've got more exciting news on the horizon!

Fiction fosters empathy and provides fabulous entertainment. You can travel to a thousand worlds and live a thousand lives and never leave your chair. I’m obsessed with fiction.

“Think not of the books you’ve bought as a “to be read” pile. Instead, think of your bookcase as a wine cellar. You collect books to be read at the right time, the right place, and the right mood.”

It's still quite unbelievable to me that after so many years of trying, and after all the rejections, by the end of this year I'll have FOUR books out between two publishers.

Fourteen years ago today, I received my first literary agent rejection...

If your first draft looks like shit that’s only because you’re completely normal and doing it right.
