Back to Home base...What's coming up..

Well! Hello everyone! I know it's been awhile. I've been posting on the blog template for my website, but you know--that was not working out for me. I like this better. So from this point forward,

I'M BACK!

DIDJA MISS ME???


Okay..so what's coming up?

Fall is going to be BUSY.

My second book, ViSION releases next month, on September 9, 2014
But you can preorder it now, if you like right here!

High school student Bobby Pendell already has his hands full--he works almost every night to support his disabled-vet father and gifted little brother. Then he meets the beautiful new girl in town, who just happens to be his boss's daughter. Bobby has rules about that kind of thing. Nothing matters more than keeping his job.

When Bobby starts to get blinding migraines that come with scary, violent hallucinations, his livelihood is on the line. Soon, he must face the stunning possibility that the visions of murder are actually real. With his world going dark, Bobby is set on the trail of the serial killer terrorizing his small town. With everyone else convinced he's the prime suspect, Bobby realizes that he, or the girl he loves, might be killer's next victim.

The light is darker than you think...

School Library Journal Review of BREAKING GLASS

The School Library Journal did review BREAKING GLASS. The full review is up on the Barnes and Noble website. We are working to get it up on Amazon and Goodreads...here it is:

Editorial Reviews
School Library Journal
12/01/2013
Gr 9 Up—This novel is an edge-of-your-seat thriller with a supernatural twist. Jeremy Glass is the star runner for his high school track team, has a stellar GPA, and is in love with his best friend Ryan's girlfriend, Susannah. He's also a secret alcoholic. He uses vodka to escape the nightmares that have haunted him since his mother drove the two of them off a cliff. However, for the past year, he's found himself relying on alcohol to dull his desire for Susannah, as well. The night she discovers Ryan cheating on her, Jeremy follows them to the gorge where they are engaged in a heated argument. Hoping to mediate, he leaps from his car directly into the path of an oncoming truck. He awakens in the hospital with a crushed leg and to the news that Susannah is missing. Once he is released, he begins to receive links to videos and cryptic messages indicating that she is dead and becomes determined to find her killer. In a fog of pain killers combined with alcohol, Jeremy risks his life to uncover a past murder that involved his mother, Susannah's mother, and Ryan's wealthy and influential father. Amowitz does an exceptional job of portraying the fragile mental state of a young man who has faced three devastating losses. Readers will wonder if he is truly solving a murder or experiencing a mental meltdown.—Cary Frostick, formerly at Mary Riley Styles Public Library, Falls Church, VA

This is the cover for VISION

Okay--I have been exceedingly lame. So I am just going to post a picture of my forthcoming book VISION for you to look at, kind of like a Yule log, until I have anything else to post.

This week at Comic Con, @4PM on Friday we will be revealing the cover for VISION my next book due out from Spencer Hill Press in May 2014 We'll be at Booth 1058.

Just so you know, we will all be dressed in our Steampunk Star Wars finest.

Cover Reveal: Haunting Joy, by Lena Goldfinch

Joy’s new dress has a secret – one with a little supernatural history, one that’s a little more than she expected.

It all starts one ordinary afternoon, as seventeen-year-old Joy tries on some thrift-store clothes her grandmother gave her. The little white dress fits perfectly. Trouble is, now it won’t leave her alone. Soon Joy is swept up in an extraordinary journey to help a ghost complete some unfinished business. If only that didn’t involve Joy driving through dangerous intersections...or calling up her high-school crush, Nick...or getting stuck at a cemetery after dark.

Will Joy accept this ghostly challenge to be "more"? And just how far will she go to uncover the truth?

Light Paranormal Novella
