Paper Flowers is coming soon!

I know it's been a while but I haven't been a total slacker because I have a new book coming out!

To make up for my long unexcused absence here's a little sneak peek!





        Peyton had asked for his food to go so I scrambled to come up with something to keep him here just little bit longer.
        “You’re in my first hour, right?” I asked with a coy smile, like I didn’t already have his entire schedule memorized.
        I also already knew his middle name (Thomas), birthdate (April 11th), and his mother’s maiden name (Petree), but he didn’t need to know that because if he did, he’d probably think I was some sort of stalker. In reality I just took researching my conquests very seriously. 
        “Um, yeah. You’re, uh, Cami?” He remembered my name!
        “Yep, that’s me. The one and only.” That was a little awkward. Recover, recover!
        He smiled. He had really nice teeth. Straight and white. Good dental hygiene is very important.
        “I’m Peyton.”
        “I know.” Did I seriously just say that? “So, uh, you’re new, right?” That’s not any better—of course he’s new. C’mon, brain, work with me here. 
        It was like I was unable to form an intelligent sentence around this guy. I blame the perfect teeth for turning my brain into mush.
        “Yep,” was all that he said. 
        So he wasn’t very loquacious. It was okay. Talking’s overrated anyway. Still, I wasn’t ready to give up yet.
        “Sooo, what brought you to Stone Creek?” I asked, fishing for anything that might keep him here a little longer. 
        “My dad got a new job.”
        “Oh, cool, me too.” Wait, what? “I mean, my dad didn’t get a job. I mean, he has a job, just not a new job.” Ohmygod. This was a total nightmare. 
        Somewhere in the back I heard Oliver chuckle at my expense. Jerkface. 
        “That’s good,” Peyton said, chuckling softly. Apparently I had lost all capability of engaging in a normal conversation. “Well, I’ll see you around, Cami.”
        “You betcha.” You betcha? What the hell was wrong with me today? I normally wasn’t this incompetent when it came to talking to boys. As soon as Peyton left the building I slid down to the floor and covered my face with both of my hands.
        “Smooth, very smooth,” Oliver teased as soon as the coast was clear.
        “Shut up!”
        “He’ll be throwing pebbles at your window in no time.”


Coming January 23rd but you can preorder now!

Today only! 80+ giveaways for paperbacks, ebooks, and more!

    Hello! Welcome to my page! I'm terrible about updating it but my goal is to do better this year so when Lizzy Ford came up with the Spring into Romance Facebook Hop I jumped right on!  What a fantastic idea, right?! Lots of new authors to meet and prizes to win!  For my giveaway, I decided to giveaway one of my books that is particularly close to my heart,   Pieces of Me Aria Watkins’s life was on the perfect path, or so she thought. She and Sean had big plans for their future together. They were going to go off to college, get married, and have 2.5 kids. But when tragedy strikes, it destroys the heart of Aria and she's afraid she'll never be the same.  Heartbroken and confused, Aria starts college a completely different person. She hardly recognizes the broken girl she's become, but she can't seem to find the strength to put back together the pieces either.  Enter Holden Whitmore.  He's charming, considerate, and he's

Nightingale: Spellbinding YA book about witches

Today I received an email letting me know that NIGHTINGALE has been included in a  recently published wiki: Spellbinding YA Books About Witches!  If  I'm honest, Nightingale is my favorite out of the books set in the Lark universe so I was very excited to see it getting some love finally! Here's what they said about NIGHTINGALE:  "At #3  is "Nightingale" by Erica Cope. Wren Fairchild has no memory of who she is or how she ended up in a Light Elf kingdom. She eventually meets Greyson St Clair, the Consul to Queen Mia of  Álfheimr . He doesn't trust Wren, but in order to learn more about her true nature, he'll have to help her regain her memories. Together, the pair must travel to the one place that can reveal the truth about the past, unraveling shocking secrets along the way." You can check out the rest of the list here !  You can purchase your own copy of NIGHTINGALE here !

Book Signing!

So I'm beyond excited to tell you that I will be having a book signing! It's a local signing in the nearby town of Webb City, MO at Minerva's on Main street. My friend Mary actually talked to the owner about it last month and then my husband delivers there and he also talked to the owner so I knew it was a possibilty but nothing was set yet. So today while the girls were in ballet, I decided to swing in for a drink (PS I got the Espresso Milkshake and it was a little piece of Heaven. Just sayin'. You must try it!). On a whim I decided to ask the girl making my drink if Tom was in and he was! So I introduced myself and asked him about the possibility of doing a book signing there. I let him read the blurb of Lark and he was interested! He gave me his wife's number, and this evening we set a date and time! June 8th from 11am-1pm! I'll post more details when it gets closer but if you can, mark your calendars and come see me!
