Amazon is the first distributor selling Witness, but the formats for other ereaders and the print versions will follow very shortly.   If you would like to buy a Kindle copy, please go here.

The blurb and book trailer are below.  Enjoy!


What happens when you witness the unthinkable? For two years, sixteen-year-old Cee Cee Montgomery has had a crush on David Johnson, and she’s been waiting for him to notice her, and he does—at a party that Cee Cee wasn’t supposed to be at. But she is. She’s there when David is stabbed and no one calls for help. She’s one of the silent witnesses who bears the guilt of his death, and it’s tearing her apart. Not even her best friend, Stacy Eddings, can pull her through. Stacy is a silent witness of a different sort. He’s been in love with Cee Cee since he met her, but she never saw past David, and while he doesn’t know she went to that party, he does realize that something is wrong, that sometimes, no matter how painful, the  truth has to come out.

Witness

One of my projects for this week is to push through the line edits on my young adult issues novel called Witness, and between yesterday and today, I've made pretty good progress.  Three out of twenty-one chapters are done.  I keep trying not to look at the pile of pages still to go, and it's always better not to look at how much red pen is scrawled over the page.  Some poor tree died for this paper, and now the paper is dying of free speech.  Go figure. :)  Still, I'm shooting to get this one and one more novel out  before I go back to work.  It will be a tight squeeze, but I believe in miracles.

If you want a peek at my inspirations for the characters, feel free to follow me at pintrest.   I'm trying to put up a separate board for each book.  I will say that my editor thinks Witness has the same feel as October Breezes, which is really exciting to me.

Speaking of October Breezes, I just released October Breezes Two Pack into print.  The link is image below.

It's summer, and for me that means lots of work on novels, so I thought I'd share what's coming up.  Currently, I have two books that are ready to be edited.

The other project is my current work-in-progress, and I'm currently about halfway through the first draft. 
I guess I'd better get off this blog and get to work!

An Interview with Jennifer Snyder

As a reader who loves young adult issue novels, I'd like to introduce you to another young adult writer--Jennifer Snyder, author of Shattered Soul.
Picture

 Hellish Nightmare...   If seventeen-year-old Seth Bradson were to describe his life in two words, those would be the two he’d choose. Seth prefers to cope with his crappy existence by spending his days in a drug-induced haze. But when Ali Carson steps into his life, Seth finds something he’s subconsciously been seeking—a new drug, one that consumes his mind unlike any other.   Love.   In a moment of unforgivable weakness, Seth allows Ali to try crystal meth, his most addictive temptation. This single event begins the unraveling of both their lives and forces Seth to learn the definition of regret the hard way.

    Shattered Soul is available on Amazon.com, Kindle, Nook, and through Smashwords.
You can also read the first chapter at Jennifer's blog: http://jennifersnydersblog.blogspot.com

And now, let's hear from Jennifer.
 
1.  Tell me about your novel.
Shattered Soul is an Edgy YA novel which deals with the serious issue of teen addiction.

2.  How long have you been writing?
Honestly, I'm one of those writers whom have wrote since they were a small child--silly short stories and funky poems mostly. I've even kept a journal since I was about fourteen. As far as my novel writing goes, though, close to four years now.

3.  What do you hope people take away from your stories?
With Shattered Soul I really hope people take with them both sides of the coin when it comes to addiction. How for some it can truly be all they know. Sadly, some kids are raised around this sort of lifestyle making it easily assessable and normal even. And for others, how it's just one bad choice that changes them forever. Addiction can be a serious problem, for some it can grab a hold and never let go.

4.  What are you working on now?
I'm actually working on a YA Paranormal Romance novel that has been blossoming in the depths of my mind for a while.

5.  What's your favorite novel? It's a tie between Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause and Interview With A Vampire by Anne Rice! 

Jennifer Snyder lives in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina with her husband and two children. She finds great joy in blank notebooks and a smooth writing pen.
