To celebrate releasing The Red Road, I’m giving away two free paperback book prize packages! And because I like reading different genres of books, I think my readers do, too.

If Taylor Swift Sang about Editing Books Instead of Boys
I was in the liquor store the other night when the piped-in music caught my attention. It was Taylor Swift’s “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.” Like, ever.
