TOUCHED is out today!
« on: August 14, 2012, 07:19 AM »
Nick Cross always listens to the voice in his head. Because if he doesn't? Things can go really, really wrong. Like the day he decided to go off script and saved a girl from being run over . . . and let another one drown. Trying to change the future doesn't work.

But this summer at the Jersey Shore, something's about to happen that Nick never could have predicted. He meets a girl named Taryn and finds out about the Book of Touch. Now the path that he thought he was on begins to shift . . . and there's no way to stop things from happening. Or is there?

In a life where there are no surprises, nothing has prepared Nick for what he's about to discover--or the choice he will be forced to make. . . .


This is my fourth book. I'm really nervous about it, because I've heard B&N decided to pass on it. When they passed on Starstruck, it got completely decimated. I'm hoping better things happen with this one!

Take care,
Cyn

ETA: I just learned (thanks to those who told me) that some B&Ns ARE carrying TOUCHED. I am stoked! :)

Can't wait to read this! My local library has bought all your books except this one, so I'm going to put in a request for it and if they say no, I'll donate my copy.  :)
