Senior prom is the happiest night of Gabi’s life. Her crush has just revealed that he is every bit as infatuated with her as she is with him. When he has a car wreck and is transported to the hospital in a coma, Gabi feels as if she’s taken a knife to the heart. But his jealous cousin, Rose, sees her chance to give the knife an even harder twist. She convinces Gabi to meet her at a local parking spot outside town. It's a night that will change several lives forever. One of the girls will return, and one will become known as the remains in the pond.

When Liz met Quinn in college, it was love at first sight, but what she did next would haunt her forever . . . even though she did it all for love.

"The man of her dreams may be the worst thing that ever happened to her."

Chapter One

We were drinking iced tea at our favorite sidewalk café when the plastics plant exploded. One moment Ronnie was checking my left hand to see if my wedding ring was still there, and the next thing I knew she was crawling across the blistered sidewalk in slow motion, reaching out for me.

Writing - What I Do

Writing Tips - What To Do When You're Stuck

Stuck on a sentence or a plot point?

Highlight it, leave it alone, go back in a day or two and it will often straighten itself out.

This usually works for me. If I'm in doubt, I highlight it, make a note about the problem, and then leave it alone. When I go back later, the solution is usually staring me in the face and I can change it.

My biggest flaw is stopping to revise or fix something in the middle of a writing session. IT ALWAYS MESSES UP MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT. Guess I'm a slow learner. I catch myself doing it all the time.



I do much better all the way around if I follow my own advice, highlight it and move on.

It also helps me get back into the story the next day when I go back to fix it.

Afterthought:
If you don't have a fix to take care of, do you leave yourself a tag for the next day? I always leave myself a word or two about where I'm headed or what I want to write next. It helps me jump right back in the water.

September is National Literacy Month

In honor of National Literacy Month, McDonald’s is giving a free book with every Happy Meal purchase from September 5 to 18. Yes, that’s right—a book! Partnering with HarperCollins Publishers, the fast food giant will include one of the following: a copy of Pete the Cat’s Got Class by James Dean, Amelia Bedelia’s First Day of School by Herman Parish, Just A School Project by Mercer Mayer, or If You Take a Mouse to School by Laura Numeroff in each Happy Meal box. In some locations, the books will be available in both English and Spanish.

What's more, McDonald’s is also teaming up with Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) to offer families an extended experience around the featured books with a new digital portal. On the site, families can access lesson plans, puzzles, activities, and reading passages for all levels to keep the reading going!

What a GREAT idea. I remember getting a serialized version of a Stephen King book -- I believe it was The Green Mile -- through Diet Coke a few years back (okay, it was quite a few years) and they had other awesome authors as well. I saved every tiny book.

I hope other retailers take note. A free book would make those late night grocery runs well worth the effort!

Afterthought: I can't wait to collect all of these with my grandkids!
