From the International Bestselling Author of the Tempest Series…
Set in the tough world of Elite Gymnastics…
I’ve gotten used to the dead parents face. I’ve gotten used to living with my gymnastics coach. I’ve even adjusted to sharing a bathroom with his way-too-hot son. Dealing with boys is not something that’s made it onto my list of experiences as of yet. But here I am, doing it. And something about Jordan–being around him, talking to him, thinking about him–makes me feel like I can finally breathe again. That’s something I haven’t been able to do lately. He knows what it feels like to be me right now. He knows what it’s like to wonder–what now? I think about it constantly. I need answers. I need to know how to get through this. In the gym, if you’re struggling, you train harder, you do drills and conditioning. How do I work hard at moving on? At being on my own? And what happens if I might be…maybe…probably falling for Jordan? I mean we live together now. That can’t happen, can it? But kissing him…well, let’s just say it’s not an easy activity to forget.

5 Facts
About Letters to Nowhere
1) Since I started writing the book,
I've envisioned my main character, Karen, as a red-headed McKayla Maroney even
though I tried my best not to picture her as anyone specific.
2) I've been around the world of competitive gymnastics for at least 15 years
and therefore have depicted elite level gymnastics as true-to-life as possible
in this book.
3) The romance in LtN is not your typical "insta-love" or "fall
in love then break up" format. This will please some and disappoint
others.
4) My main character, Karen, has just lost both her parents in a tragic car
accident prior to the book's opening however, I don't consider this a typical
book about death either because there are so many other elements intertwined
and Karen is a fighter, she's constantly driven by one goal or another. It's
about rising up after a fall.
5) LtN is truly the book of my heart because I wanted, for so long, to find a
way to combine by two greatest passions - YA Literature and Gymnastics.
