Hello! It's been quite a while since I've blogged. Well, to give you a little update, I have a novel coming out next month! It's a Young Adult mystery novel and the title is . . . drum roll please . . . The Diamond Caper. Here's a little summary of the story.

Meet fifteen-year-old Crystal O'Mally. Red hair, braces, long legs, an annoying little sister . . . basically the average American teenager. The only thing that sperates this girl from all the millions of teenagers out there is she wants to be a detective. Now! The excitement, intrigue, fame all make the life of a detective sound wonderful to Crystal. However, when her first real chance to help on the detective force finally comes her way, things don't go quite the way she expected. The suspect list adds up almost overnight, her sister insists on being Crystal's partner, and some cute guy keeps trying to get Crystal's attention. But the biggest blow is when Crystal's long time friend, Terra, starts lying and keeping secrets. And things get even worse when two innocent people vanish and no one believes Crystal when she goes for help. How is Crystal going to handle it all? Will she be able to live her dream and become the youngest detective ever? Or will she give it up entirely when things get too hard?

Only one way to find out. (No, I'm not going to spoil the ending for you! :) )

I will keep you all updated as to the release date of the novel.
