New Release Title Reveal
Sally Henson
June 8, 2017

This YA/teen, sweet, coming-of-age, romance is worth the wait. If you’ve read Summer’s End, you should recognize the title of book two. Kiss Me Already picks up exactly where Summer’s End left off. I know the ending of Summer’s End was risky, but you’ll thank me when you turn the pages of Kiss Me Already to chapter one.

  • What happens when college begins?
  • Will Regan be able to keep her secret?
  • Will Lane and Regan’s friendship last?

If you haven’t read Summer’s End, what are you waiting for?

This swoon-worthy read is COMING SOON.

(This series should be read in numerical order for the benefit of the reader.)

FREE ENDS TODAY for BURIED by Elisa Dane

High school senior, Claire Reilly’s world revolves around All-Star cheerleading. The Diamond Girls, are gearing up for a major competition, which, if they win will allow them to compete at Worlds for the first time. But the unimaginable happens, and both Claire and her team are rocked by a devastating loss. Determined to get to Worlds any way she can, Claire finds help from the last person she imagined would give it—up and coming UFC fighter and notorious bad boy, Ryker Vaughn.

Fouled out of the octagon by a dirty opponent and a vicious kick to the head, Ryker loses control when he learns he may never fight again. Angry over the loss of his mother, an unsupportive family, and the world in general, he gives up, gives in, and unleashes his rage—destroying part of his cousin’s cheer gym in the process. Things go from bad to worse when Ryker is given an ultimatum: help the Diamond Girls compete for a bid to Worlds, or go to jail.

Overwhelmed with anger, sadness, and grief, the unlikely pair learns that what you see is not always what you get and that the most difficult losses sometimes open the door to a frightening, yet amazing new future.

SUMMER’S END AVAILABLE TODAY!

Small town gossip fuels a teenage girl’s drive to follow her dream while navigating through the perilous waters of friendship, family, and handsome distractions.

Small town gossip. If you live in a small town, or ever have, you know what I’m talking about. There’s always a couple in every generation who seem to dedicate themselves to being the queen of gossip. Yes, occasionally there is a king, but usually it’s a queen. And if you have ever been their subject, you know how Regan feels. We all react in different ways, but I think Regan handles it pretty good most of the time.

Mostly, Regan has her future to focus on. The gossip drives her desire to leave small town life behind. She has a plan, it’s not perfect, but she thinks she has the bases covered. Her small group of four friends have a plan for their future, too. Sometimes . . . plans change. Family has a strong influence on future plans-whether it’s fair or not.

I hope you enjoy Summer’s End. Let me know who your favorite character is. Tell me your favorite parts. Share Regan’s story with your friends, and help me get the word out.

SUMMER’S END LAUNCHES TOMORROW!

Here is your last sneak-peek and it’s a good one.

Chapter 18 . . .

“Regan, I know you think I’m good at telling you what
I’m thinking and how I feel about you, but….” I reach my
free hand to his arm and squeeze, holding on tight, leaning
my head against him as we continue to stroll. “I’m scared
of what tomorrow brings. Worried I might fail, that I won’t
be able to handle the classes and all the people . . . afraid
of being away from home, from you, from what I know
and love….” We stop and he turns toward me. “I don’t want
tonight to end,” he chokes out.
Softly I agree, “Tonight’s been the best night of my life.”
My voice is a little rough too, and I’m tearing up. I slide
my arms up and around his shoulders. “I don’t want you to
leave.”

I greatly appreciate your help in this launch process. As always, please let your friends know about Summer’s End and share on your favorite social sites. Book two is already in the works as we continue to follow Regan’s life.

COUNTDOWN TO LAUNCH

Pre-order for Summer’s End now — release in 2 days!

Check out what we have today from chapter 17 . . .

 

Tobi’s standing, waving us over out at the horse barn. We
pull up and park as she walks over, and I get out meeting
her, “Good, you didn’t forget your boots,” she says with a
grin.
“You look rugged and ready.” I tease, but she looks so
pretty with her long blonde hair down under her summer
cowboy hat. She’s sporting a pair of Wranglers and a
turquoise T-shirt.
We walk through the barn, and I can see she has the
horses saddled under the shade tree on the other side. “I
packed some water bottles in the saddlebags,” she says as we
continue out the door. I see the back end of a fourth horse.
A big, beautiful buckskin is saddled, too. My eyes follow the
lines of the buckskin to the being that has a hold of the reins.
“Guys, this is Rex”
“Rex?” I ask. She never mentioned someone else riding
today.

Two more days, y’all! I’m so excited to be sharing this with you. If you like the snip-its released throughout our countdown, please share them with your friends and post them on your favorite social media sites. Monday we’ll share a piece from the final chapter of Summer’s End.

DAY 5

WE ARE LIVE IN 5 DAYS!

Summer’s End releases October 11, 2016.

Get your sneak-peek into chapter 11 . . .

I hear a scoff, a chortle that makes my ears bleed. My
solemn frame of mind gives way to a flare of anger. I lean
forward, peering to my right to put the face to the voice.
Unbelievable. Youth group is one of the few places I thought
I wouldn’t have to deal with this viper. She narrows her eyes
when she sees me and berates, “Is it safe to drink your own
urine, Regan?” I can almost see the venom dripping over her
lips and down her chin, burning holes in the wood floor, as
the smoldering smoke floats toward the ceiling. The stench
that fills the room’s atmosphere is a combination of burnt
wood and hostility.

Stay tuned tomorrow for more of Regan’s story in Summer’s End. And as always, feel free to share on your favorite social media site.

Day 10 — The Countdown Begins

October 1, 2016

Count down to October 11, 2016, aka, Release Date for Summer’s End.

Follow along this week as we reveal excerpts of Summer’s End along the way.

Regan, from chapter one:

This group of five came about my freshman
year, when expectations came at us like a tsunami. It’s not
without difficulty. There are three females with hormones
and menstrual cycles and two boys with erratic intervals
of surging testosterone. We have some rules of friendship,
though. The first and foremost, no gossiping. Gossipers are
lowly creatures that dish out half-truths and lies trying, to
make themselves feel better about who they are. Second, no
back-stabbing. Back-stabbing could be construed as gossip,
but we see it as one of the highest forms of betrayal. Third,
no dating within the group. This prevents hard feelings that
just aren’t necessary.

Coming Soon . . .

Summers End cover art coming soon.

Exciting news that brings Summers End one step closer to being published. I will be working with a designer to create the cover to the first book in the Regan Stone series. Tugboat Design will be using the summary of the book-along with information about the main characters and a look at a few covers I really like-to come up with something I am sure will be fantastic!

Here are just a few of the book covers I like.

Angel Beneath My Wheels by K. S. Moore

Breaking Me by Sarah Tork

A Season for Fireflies by Rebecca Maizel

We’ll Always Have Summer by Jenny Han

Playing Hurt by Holly Schindler

Though this is a little dated, 2005, I really like it. After Summer by Nick Earls
