Breathless

What is the toughest request anyone can be asked to fulfill?

Travis Morrison is a champion diver and one of the most popular kids at school. On the first day of summer vacation, while boating on the lake with his friends, Travis attempts a silly stunt dive that goes wrong. His trip to the hospital reveals he has a rare form of cancer, and to save him, the doctors tell his parents they must amputate. In an instant, Travis’s life and the lives of everyone around him are forever changed.

Here’s a fact you may not know.  My summer release, BREATHLESS, will be my forty-third original book for Random House!  I can hardly believe it.  Years of doing something I love to do, writing.  Lucky me.   I’ve been writing for a long time and these days I run into grown girls who tell me, “I read all your books when I was in school.”  Some tell me, “I still read your books.”

However, the words I love to hear most of all are from readers who tell me, “I never read a book straight through until I started reading yours.”  That’s so wonderful!  Knowing my books started a reader on the road of reading is awesome.  It makes worthwhile all the hours I’ve spent in front of a computer talking to “people” (characters) who only live inside my mind.  But until my characters and I start “talking”, a story can’t come to life, so I’m always glad to hear from my imaginary friends.

Now, I’d like to hear from you, my reader friends.  Your encouragement is all I need to keep the stories falling out of my imagination onto a printed page.  Thanks so much for your loyalty and support.  You, my readers and fans, mean the world to me!

Best wishes,
