Praise for SELECT FEW
“...mixing mystery with science fiction with a heaping dose of romance." ―Kirkus Reviews
"...a page-turning adventure." ―School Library Connection
After rejecting the cult-like influence of her father's family, Julia moves into a fancy hotel in downtown Austin. But she finds herself alone except for her boyfriend, John--and her fears. Once again she's suppressing her abilities, afraid her family will come for John when they find out he's been developing abilities of his own in her presence. The FBI is also keeping a close eye on Julia hoping she can lead them to her father, Novak, as he's wanted for questioning in his former assistant's death.
With tensions high, Julia and John agree to go separate ways for the summer, paving the way for Julia to reunite with Angus, fellow outcast. Together they set out on a road trip to California to find Julia's mom and a way into Novak's secret underground world. Along the way Julia will learn the Puri perhaps aren't the only humans evolving into something different. . . and that maybe she's the leader her people have needed all along.

Author guest post...
What advice would you give to someone
who wanted to have a life in writing?
I would give the advice to make space for
writing in your life and protect that time. There are so many distractions from
email and social media to outside obligations. I can sometimes be bad about
holding the line and then I get really frustrated that I let go of my writing
time. When you have a job and a family and just the demands of life, it becomes
a daily struggle.
Also, I’d say just keep
writing and know that some days will feel difficult and heavy and other days
will be smooth and there’s never really any predicting which way it will go! I
think what matters is showing up. People say no writing is wasted writing and I
tell myself that every time I write, it counts towards practice.
In my opinion, it’s
important to finish a draft. It’s so hard not to stop and edit but if you keep
going and finish, a part of your brain relaxes because suddenly you have a
book! You now have something to work with and you can go in and edit. You have
an overall structure, even if large sections get moved around or tossed out! I
like to call the first draft my discovery draft. It takes the pressure off and
makes me feel so much freer to explore and see where the story takes me and to
brush the critic off my shoulder.
Lastly, I would say
figure out why you love writing and hold onto that. I do it because I strive to
create characters who take on a life of their own. That feels like magic to me.
On the frustrating days in writing and publishing, that’s what keeps me
going.
