Happy New Year!!
It's 2012! Yay! This year is particularly special to me because it's the year my debut novel, ELEMENTAL, comes out!!!
I owe the fulfillment of my dreams to SO many people, but over the next couple weeks, I'm focusing specifically on my publishing family. The family has grown since I signed on, adding three new authors! One of whom I introduced you to last Thursday. But today, I want to introduce you to someone who helped welcome me into Spencer Hill Press last May.
Lisa Rogers!
From her Author Page:
Lisa Rogers worked in the medical field until she hung up her stethoscope to help her husband pursue the dream of owning his own business. After opening the business while also raising their two (she insists) wonderful children, the time has come for her to fulfill a dream of her own—which is, was, and will always be, writing.
With her children now grown, she dedicates her time to writing and learning about paranormal phenomena. When she’s not strapped to her computer at their rural Oklahoma home, she can generally be found poking around a dilapidated old building or visiting some historical place, perhaps searching for her next “out of body” character.

Her debut novel, ANGELINA'S SECRET (coming February, 2012):
As a child, Angelina spent years in counseling learning that Josie, her imaginary friend, wasn't real, but it turns out her childhood friend wasn't imaginary after all.
Now Angelina has to accept she's either (A) crazy or (B) able to see ghosts. Wanting to believe in her sanity, she chooses (B) and welcomes Josie back into her life. But even Josie can't help her deal with Shelly, the spirit of a confused teenager, and things go very, very wrong.
When Angelina finds herself in a psychiatric hospital, she faces a choice: she can spend the rest of her life pretending to be someone she isn't, or she can embrace who she is and take a chance that she may never get to go home.

Trust me when I tell you this is an AMAZING book. I was lucky enough to receive an ARC and I devoured it in two days. It is both chilling and sweet, and believe me, that is not an easy combination to make.

YAY for "Elemental" and another YAY for "Angelina's Secret"! Guess what? I'm lucky enough as well, the ARC is here and it will be one of my soon-to-be-read-and-reviewed-book! ;D
