I'm really proud to be sharing this cover with you today. Aimee is a former YAtopian and a great friend of mine. I've read BREAKABLE and loved it. It's a great story for anyone who wants to read about an MC who is a real teenager grappling with self image, relationships and deceit.
When
seventeen-year-old Stacy looks in the mirror she can see and talk to her future
self. “Older Me” has been Stacy's secret support through the ongoing battle
with their neurotic mother, relentless bullying at school, and dealing with her
hopeless love for her best friend, Mark.
Then Stacy discovers Older Me is a liar.
Still reeling from that betrayal, Stacy buries herself in her art. But even that is taken from her when her most persistent tormentor uses her own work to humiliate her - and threaten her last chance with Mark.
Stacy’s reached breaking point.
Literally.

Breakable
is a YA, Magical Realism (reads like a
contemporary, but with one fantastic element).
The premise was inspired by a visit to the
website www.dearteenme.com in which
authors write letters to their teen selves.
Breakable
will release for general sale on November 4th
on Amazon (Kindle and paperback) and B & N (for Nook).
This is the author’s first book.
