SYNOPSIS:
Welcome to Trinity Academy’s best-kept secret.

The Society.
You've been handpicked by the elite of the elite to become a member.
But first you'll have to prove your worth by making it through Hell Week.
Do you have what it takes? It's time to find out.

  Samantha Evans knows she’d never get an invite to rush the Society—not after her dad went to jail for insider trading. But after years of relentless bullying at the hands of the Society’s queen bee, Jessica, she’s ready to take down Jessica and the Society one peg at a time from the inside out.
 
 All it’ll take is a bit of computer hacking, a few fake invitations, some eager rushees… and Sam will get her revenge.
Let the games begin.

THE SOCIETY is a YA Contemporary that deals with issues like bullying, loss of family, betrayal, while still having strong friendship ties and even romance. The main character definitely makes some bad choices, but it's part of her learning who she is and getting where she needs to go. Part of the book actually takes place this time of year, and Sam attends a masquarade party with her best friend, Jeremy. It doesn't go as planned. At all. It goes about as far from planned as you could ever....ever.....hope. Kids lives are in critical danger. And it just may be Sam's fault. Maybe revenge is never the best idea after all.

Flash GIVEAWAY!! Enter to win The Society

In honor of the release of THE SOCIETY, my latest YA Contemporary from Entangled Teen, I'm giving away an e-book copy!

Sam is a senior at an elite private high school, but she definitely has it rough--her dad went to prison the summer before her freshman year at Trinity Academy, her ex-bestie, Jessica, has made it her life mission to make Sam's life hell, and Sam's mom dropped her off with her Aunt Loretta to take off for parts unknown. So music is one of Sam's ways to cope in the midst of all the mayhem while she plots her revenge scheme against Jessica and the school's secret society.

I've shared the playlist containing some of San's favorite songs below. Comment your favorite song from the playlist and it will count as one of the ways you can enter to win!
(See the rafflecopter below for all the ways you can enter.)

Facebook party time!

Want to come to a super secret party hosted by awesome authors and win some amazing books and swag?  All you have to do is ask! Just leave your facebook contact info in the comments, and I will invite you to the event on December 1st! The party is going to last ALL DAY with a slew of authors checking in to chat, run contests and giveaways, and MORE! You don't want to miss it.

A.L. Davroe's newest novel, NEXIS, is releasing December 1st! Join A.L. and her fellow authors in celebrating the release of this fantastic Sci-Fi adventure.

NEXIS:
In the domed city of Evanescence, appearance is everything. A Natural Born amongst genetically-altered Aristocrats, all Ella ever wanted was to be like everyone else. Augmented, sparkling, and perfect. Then…the crash. Devastated by her father’s death and struggling with her new physical limitations, Ella is terrified to learn she is not just alone, but little more than a prisoner.

Her only escape is to lose herself in Nexis, the hugely popular virtual reality game her father created. In Nexis she meets Guster, a senior player who guides Ella through the strange and compelling new world she now inhabits. He offers Ella guidance, friendship…and something more. Something that allows her to forget about the “real” world, and makes her feel whole again.

But Nexis isn’t quite the game everyone thinks it is.

And it’s been waiting for Ella.

THE GIRLFRIEND REQUEST cover reveal and contest!

I am beyond excited to share the cover for my Young Adult Contemporary novel, THE GIRLFRIEND REQUEST!

Blurb:

Emma has been best friends with Eli since she moved to his neighborhood ten years ago. Tired of being cast in the role of the girl next door, Emma creates a fake Facebook profile in the hopes of starting an online friendship with Eli, which would hopefully lead to more. Like...way more. From friend request to In a Relationship--it all seemed so completely logical when she'd planned it.

Eli can't figure out what Emma is up to. He's pretty sure she's the one behind the Facebook profile, but then again, why would she do something so drastic instead of just admitting she wants to be more than friends? And who the heck is this new guy he saw her with? Eli starts to think that just maybe... he missed his chance with the girl next door.

 Two best friends, one outlandish ruse. Their status is about to become way more than It's Complicated.

 Be sure to keep an eye on EntangledTeen.com for an interview with Eli for their Swoon-Worthy Sunday feature. (Trust me, Eli is definitely just that!) ;-) I hope you love reading THE GIRLFRIEND REQUEST when it releases just as much as I loved writing it.

Until then, may your days be filled with love and laughter.

~ Jodie

Drumroll please.....

So I finally made a Book Trailer

So I've been hearing all the hub-bub about book trailers and apparently I'm the last kid on the block to actually try my hand at it.

I did some researching, and watched a lot of sample trailers. By the way, there are some fantastic ones (and some not so fantastic ones) out there.  Some of these writers have to be paying mucho bucks to have theirs professionally done. Since I'm not in the tax bracket to be able to afford such luxuries yet...(heck...I consider buying non-Suave shampoo a luxury), I had to make my own with what I had available.
