Announcement of Happiness!!

 Lauren (my agent of awesomeness) and I were talking about my projects and places and publishers, and, and, and . . .
She mentioned Tribute Books, who are in the process of shifting their entire focus to YA.
They've been around for a long time, and half of what they do is promotion for other publishers. It seemed like a good fit, and like a fun publisher to work with, so we submitted Night Sky. And then because Lauren is Lauren and is awesome at pushing books, we sent them another one when they liked the first.

Tribute's trusting me with not just one, but TWO of my books in their transition into publishing solely for the YA market. I'm ECSTATIC that Tribute books will be publishing Night Sky (March 2012) and Knee Deep (May 2012)!

They're serious about getting my stuff together, and even sent a cover idea with the offer to publish Night Sky.

Below is the final :D

After losing Sarah, the friend he’s loved, to some other guy, Jameson meets Sky. Her Native American roots, fluid movements, and need for brutal honesty become addictive fast. This is good. Jameson needs distraction – his dad leaves for another woman, his mom’s walking around like a zombie, and Sarah’s new boyfriend can’t keep his hands off of her. 

As he spends time with Sky and learns about her village, her totems, and her friends with drums - she's way more than distraction. Jameson's falling for her fast. 

But Sky’s need for honestly somehow doesn’t extend to her life story – and Jameson just may need more than his new girl to keep him distracted from the disaster of his senior year.


Isn't it PREETTY???
And since I know the story so well, I LOVE how much they captured here.

So, yeah. Jolene's in happy writer land right now.

It's on goodreads :D
