Letter From Kelly ⇒

DEAR READERS,

I had a wonderful time at the RWA San Francisco conference and met up with some long-time author friends and met some cool new readers! I did not take home an award but it was an awesome experience to be a RITA nominee and to be able to attend. I'll be posting pics on site once I can manage it. For now I'm gearing up for the release of Invisible Touch next month on September 16th! Yes!

I'm so excited. I have some giveaways planned for August, September and October, check it out here as well as the on-line launch with authors on the Secret Fates blog (secretfates.blogspot.com) with shared secrets and giveaways from September 1 - 30, 2008!. This event you don't want to miss!

I do have a surprise Graffiti Girl signing this month with YA author, Shelley Adina, at Borders in Oakridge Mall, San Jose, CA on August 16th 1-3 pm. Please stop by if you are in the area--we would love to meet you!

Here's more generous cyber buzz for Invisible Touch:

From TeensReadToo: (The Gold Award of Excellence!) "This book shows that when you're always looking to the future, you often forget to deal with the past. An amazing, touching novel that deals with big issues in an original context."

From Just Blinded Reviews: "You know when you've just read [a] good book because the author has this way of making you feel every emotion that the character in the [book] felt--frustration, love, anger, confusion--and this was one of those books. With twists and turns at every corner the ending of this book will leave you stunned."

Also there are a couple of updates on site. I'm trying out a guestbook for those of you who are a little shy to email me. You can leave a comment here by clicking "Post". It's lonely right now so give it go! Don't forget, I've updated the Invisible Touch section with an excerpt, short story, and a book video.

I'm also planning events for September so keep checking with my events to see if I'll be in your area!

Thanks again for visiting and for the support. I hope you are as excited for the release of Invisible Touch as I am. :)
