Truth and Other Lies

I'm warning you right now: there WILL be a blog hop. And it will be amazing. Because my new book, Truth and Other Lies, is just that cool.

I always swore to myself I'd never write a book about a writer, but when the idea for Truth and Other Lies popped into my brain I couldn't turn it off and I couldn't alter it. Sometimes you just gotta write the thing.

So I did, and here it is: a book about a guy whose best friend leaves a brilliant manuscript in his hands; a book about what he chooses to do with her words; a book about falling in love with a beautiful girl... and falling in love with her handsome boyfriend; a book about a love triangle that's anything but conventional; a book about secrets... and lies.

Have you ever wanted to get noticed? Have you ever felt like no matter how hard you worked or how hard you tried, nobody in the entire world cared what you did? Well, what if someone famous—and we’re talking Oprah-famous, here—noticed you for the one thing you wish you could hide? For your one big secret…

That’s exactly what happens to 18-year-old Kenneth McIntyre when television guru Prahna Mehta hails his self-published novel as the next bestseller. Little do his new fans know Truth and Other Lies wasn’t written by Kenny at all… and it isn’t fiction. Kenny’s been keeping secrets for years. Sometimes he feels like he’s lying to everybody he loves.

When Kenny gets swept into stardom, how will he hide the secrets he’s kept for years? And, if his lies are exposed, will anyone stay by his side?

And while I'm on the topic, I want to thank everyone at my new publishing house. I've been working with amazing editors and promotions people and I'm so touched by the personal interest they take in my book. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Thanks also to Sour Cherry Designs for the wonderful book cover!
