I will soon venture into the Uncharted Airs on book tour for the release of DOWNFALL, the final book in the Above the Black trilogy. I will be in Utah, Virginia, Houston, and Nevada. I'm thrilled that I'm being sent or invited to so many places, and I hope to see your faces, say hi, sign your copies, and I'd be happy to take a picture with you, too!
If you are able to attend my author events in Utah during March, I will be exclusively reading deleted or alternate scenes in the trilogy. If you just cannot get enough of the Skylands, maybe come to all three events? Don't forget to RSVP to The King's English or Poppy Books and get your tickets!
I will also be visiting Folklore Bookshop for the first time in April, too! It should be a blast.
After that, I will fly to Virginia and Old Town Books where I will be with fellow NYT bestselling author, Scott Reintgen, for his new book, DEVIOUS PREY. You will want to get your tickets for this event!
The tour will take me back to Houston for TeenBookCon, which I'm dying to attend. I will return to Utah to sign copies at B&N in Orem in April, and finally to conclude the tour, I will be a featured author at the Henderson Reads Book Festival on April 24th and 25th. It's going to be awesome.
I cannot wait!
RISE!

We are less than 30 days from the release of DOWNFALL. Have you listened to the audiobooks for SKY’S END or AMONG SERPENTS yet?
They are incredible. I love them so much, and @vikasadam did such an amazing job narrating the series.
Writing the Above the Black trilogy has been one of the highlights of my life, and I can't wait for you to see how it ends.
Did you know the whole series is a combined 49 hours long?

SKY'S END fan art!
A fan, Juliejo Gedge, sent me this art yesterday and it gave me a big smile. It's such a great feeling when my work inspires others to create art.
This scene is one of my favorites from the whole trilogy.
We have thirty days until DOWNFALL releases! Can you believe it?!
