Event organized by: AToMR Tours
Ever since the one time Andie Weber threw caution to the wind - and paid the price for it - she’s learned that it’s safer and smarter to live life playing by the rules. Now she’s got a great apartment, a steady job, and a wonderful boyfriend in Colin; he’s sweet, stable, and essentially perfect – except maybe for the fact that his best friend is Chase.
Chase McGuire lives his carefree, unstructured life strictly for himself. Dripping sarcasm and oozing wit, he refuses to censor his feelings or opinions for anyone, making no apologies for either and wearing his abrasiveness like a badge of honor. No one has ever gotten under Andie’s skin the way Chase does –and vice versa.
So when Andie and Chase find themselves forced to take a two-day road trip together, they are already dreading an inevitable all-out war. But as the trip progresses, and the undeniable friction that has always defined their relationship slowly begins to wear away their preconceived notions of each other, Andie and Chase discover they both have a lot to learn about life, courage, happiness, and the age-old battle between logic and love.

Second
Book Jitters: aka My Thoughts on Releasing Emancipating Andie
Second Book Jitters is an actual medical condition.
Did you know that? It’s true. I’ve got a case of second book jitters, and the
only prescription…is copious amounts of wine and chocolate.
Let me start by saying that I released my first
novel, Back to You, to an audience
of zero. No one. Not a single person was waiting for it. I just hit publish and
sat back and said, “Okay, so…it’s done!” And then it sat there. Staring at me.
Taunting me. Saying, “So here I am! Whatcha gonna do with me now?”
Eventually I sent it out to a few bloggers and told
some of my friends and family about it. I remember telling my husband, “It
would be so cool if a stranger read it,” because I honestly just envisioned my
friends and family buying copies to support me, and maybe convincing a friend or two of their own to get a copy. Little
did I know just how many “strangers” would read it, or how many of those
strangers would become friends, or how amazing and supportive and wonderful you
all would be. You have rocked my world and then some, and I love you all for
it.
That being said, releasing a book to an audience is
probably one of the most intimidating and nerve-wracking things I’ve ever done.
Because Emancipating Andie isn’t Back to You. And Chase and Andie aren’t
Michael and Lauren. And as I gnaw my fingernails to the bone, I just keeping
thinking, “That’s okay, right?”
I tell myself of course it is. I tell myself that it
would be pointless and silly to write the same book over and over, to write the
same characters and give them different names. Of course it should be
different. People want different.
Right?
*Cue fingernail biting as I uncork a bottle of
wine.*
All kidding aside, I truly do hope you enjoy Emancipating Andie. I hope Chase makes
you cringe and then laugh and then swoon, and that Andie makes you want to
strangle her one minute and hang out with her the next. And thank you so much
for the support and love you’ve shown me since I stepped on to this scene five
months ago. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you all. (And that’s me speaking, not the jitters.) xo
