WELCOME NEW ADULT READERS!
I'm pleased the industry is catching up and offering readers 17-25 years old books written specifically for them. My readers will attest that Taken by Storm and Sing me to Sleep are older YA. Many of my biggest fans are college students or young moms. When I wrote Unbroken Connection and Cayman Summer, new adult didn't exist, so I called them YA. They are clearly new adult. That is what I've been writing all along.
I'm marketing newest novel, An Ocean atween Us, as a romantic historical novel, but it is at heart, a new adult, coming-of-age story, that sweep you away to another time and place but also force you to stop and think. Enjoy!
Unfortunately, the new adult label is being co-opted by the industry's porn-pedallers. Sad, but true. My books are not explicit. Steamy. Yes. PG-13, yes. Great kissing, yes. Moral issues, yes. Porn masquerading as literature? No!
