YAY FOR AWKWARD TOPICS!

Okay, so if you’re a guy — you were specially selected to receive this message. No, really.

You may have noticed I’m writing a book for girls, to be released in 2013. And every girl wants to get inside a guy’s head. And of course I’m in Ethan’s head (and not just in the nagging way) but I need more input from guys!

I’m working on the chapter about what guys want in a girl. And I’m gettin’ a vote out there: How “experienced” do guys want their girls to be when they marry them?

So anyway. Feel free to leave a comment. Or message me away from everyone. Or email me. Writebrained(at)gmail(dot)com.

Sweetness dripped off her words like rain, and at each sentence, I felt my hands clench. I knew what she did to my family. The rumors she’d spread, the accusations, the blackmail. “I was only trying to help,” she said, “it was my Christian duty.” Maybe she actually thought that. Or maybe it was just another lie. (more…)
