Favorite Books: I'm a sucker for the Harry Potter series. But aside from that I love girl stories and books with a magical or mystical element. I love DANCING ON THE EDGE, THE ALCHEMIST, SCRAMBLED EGGS AT MIDNIGHT, and THE TRUTH ABOUT FOREVER. I'm also a fan of

Here's the jacket copy:

What if the guy who took your breath away was the only one who could help you breathe?

Savannah would be happy to spend the summer in her coastal Carolina town lying in a hammock reading her beloved romance novels and working at the library. But then she meets Jackson. Once they lock eyes, she’s convinced he’s the one-her true love, her soul mate, a boy different from all the rest. And at first it looks like Savannah is right. Jackson abides by her mama’s strict rules, and stays by her side during a hospitalization for severe asthma, which Savannah becomes convinced is only improving because Jackson is there. But when he’s called away to help his family-and seems uncertain about returning-Savannah has to learn to breathe on her own, both literally and figuratively.

This debut novel has it all-an endearing, funny, hopelessly romantic main character, lots of down-home Southern charm, and a sunny, salty beach setting that will transport you to the Carolina coast.

Welcome to the Debs! We're so glad to have you!

BREATHING sounds fantastic. Do you have a larger pic of your cover? (I assume that's it in your icon.) It's gorgeous & I'm dying to see it in more detail. ♥

Congratulations, and welcome to the Debs! Breathing sounds fab, which I think I told you in chat the other day. :D When does it come out, do you know? How long ago did you sell? I love finding out how long (or short!) the process is. (So far, I'm the longtimer; I sold last January, and come out next February!)

It comes out in April. I sold it at the beginning of November and it has just gone into production.

Hi Cheryl - Hawaii and Northern CA are two of my favorite locales ... I have family on the Big Island (just came back, as a matter of fact), and in Half Moon Bay.

I'm a big Harry Potter fan, too.
