I grew up as a military brat who travelled the world with my family. We moved ten times before I was twelve. Given that transient lifestyle, I had very few friends and I was quite shy. It always took some time to warm up to new surroundings and by the time I did, we were off to our next assignment. Books became my best friends and I lost myself to them. The wonderful, amazing world of books where you can live hundreds of lives that seem far more interesting than your own. Maybe you know that feeling too?

At long last, the sequel to The Ugly Princess has been published: Betrayed by Beauty. The dedication is as follows:

This is a story about sisters. Sisters by blood, as well as those sisters we choose to add to our family through our life experiences: bonds forged by love and friendship and other magic. This book is dedicated to all of those sisters, but especially to my dear sister, Robin, who has held my hand for as long as I can remember. From voting for my Easter Bonnet (the ugliest in my second-grade class) to thoughtfully listening to all the ideas for my stories and adding her insightful advice, she has always looked out for me. Please look out for yours. A sister is a gift from God, hold them close, take care of them and never let them fall away from you.

I hope you love it!
