Reality Check

Take a sneak peek at my latest book, Reality Check!

Sixteen-year-olds Charlie, Keiran, Brooke, and Hallie live on the quiet and quaint North Fork of Long Island. It may not be glamorous but it is real and teen girls are where the drama is at - at least, that's the rationale of a television studio executive looking for the next big reality series. Thinking that Charlie and her friends might be THE next big thing, she signs them up for a show.

However, soon enough, having cameras follow them everywhere and interfering producers surreptitiously scripting their lives starts to effect their relationships. Brooke seems to want all the screen time. Keiran is scripted out of the show - and the group's friendship - when she doesn't rate well and as soon as Charlie realizes what is going on, she figures out the perfect way to give the studio and her home audience a reality check.

Late to the game, but I finally made it!

Hey guys! I hope you're having a great summer. I'm getting a little depressed about it all ending. Does anyone else feel that way? This morning, when I woke up and it was gorgeous and 90 degrees again I started thinking about all the things I hadn't done yet or didn't do enough -- did we get enough days in at the beach? Did we use our pool pass enough? Did Ty, who is starting kindergarten next week, have enough fun?? I feel like I should be outside today doing SOMETHING. Though I'm not sure what. We did the pool this week, went to the beach, had a family photo shoot at the beach last night and saw the most amazing sunset I've seen yet, and just got back from a week on the Jersey Shore (and no, we didn't see Snooki). So I guess I'm over-reacting, right? I've done all there is to do. But still, until it's time for pumpkin picking weather (which I really like), I have a feeling I'm going to be slightly depressed. I may hate bathing suits, but I love bathing suit weather.
Enjoy your Labor Day weekend!
