[Release Party] STRENGTH by... Me!

Hey, guys! 

Have I told you lately how much I love you? Seriously. Without your support, I wouldn't be spinning around in my chair today, grinning like an idiot. You're my family, my friends, my readers, my publishers, my editors, my—*pauses to take a breath*—critique partners, my beta readers, my teachers, my mentors, my role models, and my constant inspirations. You've all helped me get to this point, and I couldn't be more grateful for your support. 

So, it is with great pleasure that I announce my debut novel, STRENGTH, is now available!

It still feels strange to say it. (Okay, type it.) When I signed my contract last May, it seemed like this day would never come. Then we got through the holidays, and whoosh! Time flew. Now we're here, and I'm almost at a loss for words.

Almost. ;)

If you're on Facebook, be sure to check out the Virtual Release Party. We're playing games and having a giveaway every hour between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. EST! (There's chocolate involved.)

Below, of course, you'll find shameless self-promotion. You can take the girl out of marketing, but you can't take the marketing out of the girl—or something like that. Anyway, before we get to that, I want to take a moment to encourage you to check out THE INVENTOR'S SECRET and POISON. (For more information, please read Peggy's blog post.) Two very special circumstances here. Let's lend them our support.

*Clears throat* Right. This is a happy day. Time for happy faces. :) A huge thank you to everyone who is participating in the Release Party/Post Blitz and spreading the word via social media. You guys are rock stars, and I adore you. Have a WONDERFUL day, and thanks again for the warm and fuzzies! ♥

About STRENGTH

When college student Rena Collins finds herself nose-to-chest with the campus outcast, her rumor-laced notions are shattered. Handsome, considerate, and seemingly sane, Wallace Blake doesn’t look like he spends his nights alone, screaming and banging on the walls of his dorm room. Hell, he doesn’t look like he spends his nights alone, period.

Too curious for her own good, Rena vows to uncover the truth behind Wallace’s madman reputation—and how two seconds of contact had left her with bruises. Of course, there are a few minor setbacks along the way: guilt, admiration, feelings of the warm and fuzzy variety…

Not to mention the unwanted attention of Wallace's powerful, supernaturally-gifted family.

They’re a bloodline divided by opposing ideals, two soon-to-be warring factions that live in secret among us. When Rena ends up caught in their crossfire, Wallace has no choice but to save her by using his powers. Now they’re really in trouble. With war on the horizon and Rena’s life in the balance, he needs to put some distance between them. But Rena won’t let go. If fighting is what it takes to prove her own strength and keep Wallace in her life, then that’s what she’ll do—even if it means risking a whole lot more than her heart.

About the Author:

 Carrie daydreamed her way through college—until they thrust a marketing degree into her hands, slapped a summa cum laude seal on the corner, and booted her out into a less-than-stellar job market. Instead of panicking at the prospect of unemployment, she used her Midwestern logic to steer into the skid and point her life in the direction she really wanted to go: writing out those daydreams.
