The blurb sounds really good. I wonder who the heroine ends up in the end… Hope to read it when it’s released. Best of luck! (y)
Thanks, everyone! I hope Amazon and B&N work with me to get it live quickly.CC - The "word count" is about 78,500 words. Pages depend on what size (measurement) the book is - it should equal, approximately, a typical 300-page trade paperback.
Have just finished Easy, Amazing job Tammara - totally loved everything about it! You have just been added to my list of favourite authors! Am now going to start reading your other novels - but please, please, please write more Mature contempt YA - you write it so well!!!
Oh, Tammara, what have you done to me. I can't stop crying! Was wondering is there gonna be a sequel or are you leaving this a standalone??

Aah well, its not like this book has ended for me ;) I loved this book so so much, really. Thankyou for it! I learnt so much. Haha there was a mixture, mostly cried from that last sentence. I have it memorized, oh god I'm tearing up...

Well, you're welcome, then. <3
So very impressed with this book. It could easily be taught in a contemporary literature class. As I read this, I stopped being conscience I was reading, and instead in my mind I was a part of this story. As soon as I got done I used my Kindle to buy the rest of your books on Amazon.

There's no better compliment than a reader who feels part of the story.
Well let me say as a reader there is no greater joy than a book that makes you feel a part of the story. I am actually sad I finished it. You know it is a good book as you get closer and closer to the end you cannot put it down, but you don't want it to be over. I am actually jealous of people who still can look forward to the pleasure of reading it for the first time. No my daughter is reading it too.
Thank you so much! I love that you and she will be able to discuss it, and she can get her dad's take on the subject matter. That makes me so incredibly happy - you have no idea. This is a best-case-scenario for me as the author of that book. <3
That is actually how I got started reading YA literature. I was looking for things to put on her Kindle that were worth reading and we could discuss. I was amazed at how much the genre has changed since my youth. Now I am a 52 year old male, hardly the YA target market, but I am hooked. There is a lot of really, really good work being done in YA. Sarah Dessen, Sarah Ockler, Sara Zarr (What is going on with all these Sarah's? LOL) Jenny Han and now you. I've also discovered, through Goodreads some of them, some really quality up and coming young writers like Lindsay Paige and Shirley Miranda.I'm going to see to it that your books get added to our local Library's collection (I'm Chairman of our Library Board) as well. We have a great YA collection, and even a special part of the library just for teens. I spend a lot of my effort there and with early literacy, you can make such a difference then. I'll add them to the teen book club and things like that as well. I'm really so very impressed with your work.

That's wonderful! Thank you. Yes, I love the Sarahs, too. :)
Hi Tammarra I have to echoe all the sentiments above - its nice to read a novel that tackles a difficult subject so well, should be required reading in all high schools! Have just started on Between the lines and I am really enjoying this series too - Finished number one, and then mistakenly read Good For You next instead of Where you are - but have to say that once your know the characters from the first book it didn't seem to matter, they read like standalones - I though God For You was particularly good, and I am now starting the 2nd book in the series. Can you tell me what you are working on next after Easy?
Mel - I'm planning another BTL, but have a couple of other projects in mind as well. I have a personal dislike of cliffhangers, so I tried not to end any of the BTL books that way; they're rather self-contained. There are unanswered questions, but then, all books have unanswered questions - there's always a "what's next?" unless everyone dies and the world explodes. And I'm not planning to write that. Yet. :)
Brilliant news Tammarra - yes I know what you mean about Cliffhangers - some authors are positively evil with them and its even worse as a reader when you have to wait over a year for the next book to come out! (I do appreciate the creative process of writing a book and getting it out isn't a quick thing - but some cliffhangers just make the waiting painful rather than that love excitement/anticipating feeling you get knowing the story is going to continue). So glad you are continuing with BTLs! - any chance you might do a book tour in UK?W
