It took me long enough, but the Young Adult edition of A SASSY LITTLE GUIDE TO GETTING OVER HIM will be available on May 30th. You can pre-order now on iTunes and Amazon.

The book is an age-appropriate version of the original. My intention was to speak to young women like women to help them gain the perspective we all need when we are trying to get over a heartbreak.

Thanks to all the readers and friends who encouraged me to get a young adult version out there. xo

It was pointed out to me by a dear gentleman friend — one brave enough not only to be in my life but with the stones to read a little pink book on his lunch hour, in public, tie on and everything — who said, “Hey, did you notice that in the back of your book it mentions your next book will be Chain-Smoking Vegetarians and Other Annoyances in L.A.?”

Considering I had completely forgotten I had written that novel until I had a conversation with another friend at the start of May (she mentioned her co-worker was getting her book published by [redacted] and I said, “That’s great. My novel was sent there and…oh, yeah, I wrote a novel.”), no, it didn’t notice, let alone remember. This coinky-dink here is that I was working on the novel as he was reading that little pink book.

After that May conversation/recollection, I decided to take a look at what I had forgotten. I pulled it out to see if it still had legs. It did, and I was surprised that I actually liked it. Many times, as a writer, you will go back to something and hang your head in shame by about the forth or fifth sentence. Granted, it was pretty dusty — you’d be surprised at all the changes that have happened since 2006. (I mean, who has a BlackBerry anymore? Well, one friend of mine does, but aside from that?) So, I started editing it down, bringing it into this decade and decided to release it as an e-book on Amazon. Et voila:

It only took me ten years to keep my word, but I did. To continue the coinky-dink, it was released on June 30th, almost exactly ten years to the day that I started Sassy (June 24th).

I love how life can be so serendipitous. But, really, I should be concerned that I forgot an entire book. (I’ve been busy and distracted.) If you are looking for a breezy summer read, I hope you’ll give it a look. The reviews are just now starting to trickle in. I’d love to hear what you think of it, too. Cheers! xo

While it’s embarrassing that I haven’t done this much sooner {I’m very, very busy and quite lazy in my downtime}, I’m happy to report that the ebook version of A Sassy Little Guide to Getting Over Him is now available. If you purchased your book through Amazon, the ebook is set to Matchbook, so you’ll get the ebook at a discount.

Thank you so much for all the love you’ve given this little pink book! It really means the world. xoxoxo
