IT HAPPENED IN
VEGAS. I can't be held responsible. Things that happen
there are supposed to stay there,
right? Right? Yeeeah. Not so much. ... Andie's just
days away from tying the knot, but there's just ooooone little
glitch. Apparently, she's already married. Or someone with her
name is married to a guy out in Oregon of all places, and the courthouse
won't issue her a marriage license until it's all cleared
up. Tripping her way through cow pies and country songs to meet
up with a man who gets around places on horseback is her very
last idea of how to have a good time, but if she's going to get
married, make partner at the firm, and have two point five
kids before she's thirty-five, she needs to get to the bottom of this
snafu and fix it quick ... before her fiance finds out and everything
she's been working toward goes up in flames.

You started out writing in YA.
What brought you over to New Adult?
I've been a reader of new adult titles
even before they were called 'new adult'.
And I love the age group it covers.
18-30 years old is such a great time in life, isn't it? I mean, it's when you sow your wild oats,
learn about yourself in the context of the whole world and not just your family
and friends; it's where you figure out who you're going to be. The adult-formative years I guess you could
call it. And the sex part is awesome
too, I won't lie. You can only get so
sexy with a YA book, so as a writer, I have to hold back. In NA, I don't have to do that. It can be passionate, raw, sometimes awkward
and full of bad decisions, but it can be REAL.
I guess that's what I love about NA most … it's raw and real.

How do you write so many books in such a short period of time?
Short and sweet: I have a system for getting the work done,
and I'm a helluva fast typer. More
details: I have a ton of stories always waiting in my head to be told, and when
I sit down at the computer, the words just kind of spill out. My stories are very character-driven, meaning
I don't make up the story. I just find
the characters wandering around in my head, put them in a situation, and let
them run with it. Now that I'm a
full-time writer, I can dedicate more of my time to writing that I used to when
I was also teaching at a university. I
treat writing as a business and try to be very disciplined about it. After eighteen months of writing, I've
published 20 novels, so I think my system is working. :)

Make Me Beautiful, and then a 3-book series that will be released on
