Today, I unveiled the shiny book trailer for my upcoming YA release The Bone Girl. I am inordinately proud of something so small and simple, because it's the first video I've ever made. I worked super hard on it (NOT THAT YOU CAN TELL *laughing*), and I kind of cackled in glee and waved my legs a lot (EXACTLY LIKE THIS) when I finally got it the way I wanted it. THIS MEANS THAT EVERYTHING GETS A BOOK TRAILER NOW. SERIOUSLY. EVERY. THING. :D :D :D

And now, a day of writing! Probably the last. <3








In a world where snow never falls and flowers never grow, the animals have learned to speak, and the people change their skins as easily as they change their clothes. But while Skin Peddlers sell fleshy wares in corner shops, the radical Church of the Skinned preaches against the impurity of selling one's most precious possession.

One night, a greedy Skin Peddler steals the most beautiful skin he's ever seen, leaving a girl of bones behind. Lutese wakes up skinless--and though other people would simply buy and slip into another skin, Lu refuses. As a bone girl, as a freak, she ventures into the wild, dying world to get her skin back.

Unbeknownst to Lu, there is a prophecy about a bone girl whispered among the animals. It foretells of an ending to the world, of an everlasting winter. As Lu draws closer to End City, the rumors grow stronger, following in her wake. But she doesn't care about anything besides getting her skin back...

Until she falls in love with an outcast girl named Mara, one of the reviled Low. This simple act sets events into motion that could destroy the world...or save it.
