The Sparkle Spa

A jacket for Fashion Disaster!

I have some exciting news over here. Sparkle Spa #9: Fashion Disaster has cover art! In this book, Suzy Davis does an awesome job cutting a doll’s hair, so Brooke decides she wants a haircut too–uh oh.

(Suzy is my favorite character in the series because she’s confident and passionate and tells the truth even if no one else wants to hear it. She’s also named after my sister Suzie. I love that she’s featured on the cover of this one.)

Sparkle Spa and Follow Your Heart

Happy spring, everyone. I know I haven’t posted on here for a while, and it’s mainly because I’ve been so busy writing! I’ve been writing the Sparkle Spa books that I posted about in October—the first two of which will be out on February 11, 2013—and I’ve also been writing another new series called Follow Your Heart, which will be published by Puffin in the summer of 2013. It’s for a slightly older audience and lets the reader decide which ending of the book is the best one for them. So many books to write! But that’s the best kind of problem for a writer to have.

A New Book Series Called The Sparkle Spa!

Hey there. So I promised I’d come back when I knew more about my Simon & Schuster books, and I do! So I’m back! The series is going to be called The Sparkle Spa, and the first one is actually going to be published next Winter/Spring instead of in the Fall, so that the first TWO books can be published at the same time! It’ll feel like a series right from the start, which makes me very happy. And it means I’m going to be writing, writing, writing as fast as I can these next few months.
