This book is now out! I got the proof and now it's clean and beautiful and available for your reading pleasure. Or reading whatever you may experience. Tension? Anxiety? Hope and fear? It's all good, though. Read Summerlands  first, because this picks up two years later and follows those characters finally resolving the huge things left hanging at the end. But also read  The Esker Road , because those characters are important here. And many people from  The Nerve  and the three Thrushcross books play a role. You need to read all the books! In order! Get going!

These actors were visually distinctive and wore distinctively different clothing. Is this what it feels like when something is translated into sign language for you, or there are captions on photos?

Hey! Go visit my new site, Emma Burns Writes Books .  I write the books. Every day I write the books. Books! Look. I am all about the books. I am here because I write the books. I would LOVE if you would read them and talk to me about them. They are a good time, these books. Well, you're going to read them and go "gaaaaaah don't do that oh no what are you doing nooo stop!" only you probably use punctuation even in your head. Even I feel that way when I read them. "Oh no! You're making a terrible mistake! Don't do it, Harriet/Ariel/Isaiah/Becca/Winston/Davy/Annamarie/Cole/Lisette/Millicent/Rosalie/Gregson/Zeke/Zach/whoever! Oh no, you did it! How are you going to get out of this now?" I really love to write young people getting themselves into impossibly terrible situations and then getting themselves back out of them.  Go on over there and pick out a book to read. There are links to Amazon where you can buy an ebook (so cheap) or a paperback (not muc...
