"What The Spell?" Special & A Magical Makeover Contest

Hello, Wattpadders!

I can’t believe that I’m saying this, but my first published novel, What the Spell, is out in its entirety TODAY! It’s been such an amazing journey to get here, and now that I am, it’s beyond my wildest dreams! But let me start from the beginning.

If you haven’t heard about how Wattpad changed my life, let me give you the long story short. I’ve wanted to be an author since I was 15. After writing six books (five young adult and one adult novel) and a stint with an agent, I found myself facing rejection after rejection and wondered whether I should give up on my dream. That’s when I found Wattpad.

I decided to write something exclusive for the site and thus, Life’s a Witch was born. Loosely based on the Salem Witch trials but set in modern day, LAW was about a twitch (teen witch) who was a direct descendant of Bridget Bishop, the first person hanged in the trials.

After a year of LAW being up on the site and 18 million reads later, I decided to self-publish the book for my fans who were asking for it. This caught the attention of Publisher’s Weekly who wrote a story on me and then the publishing industry began calling, and before I knew it, I had a 3-book deal with publishing powerhouse, Simon & Schuster!

So, back to the reason I’m writing this post…all three sections of the e-book version of the first book in my Life’s a Witch series, What the Spell?, are officially available today for just .99 cents each [Ebook Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 here]! That’s under $3 for the whole book! This whole experience has been a dream come true and I can’t wait for everyone to read What the Spell?! Be sure to snag your copy now, before the price goes up for the full e-book and hardback release January 29, 2013.

I also wanted to let you know about a really cool promotion we’re doing for the book. In What the Spell?, Brooklyn is a teenager who feels completely invisible at her school. So, when she comes into her witchy powers on her 16th birthday, the first thing she does is give herself a magical makeover. In honor of my upcoming book, we got together with an Emmy Award-winning makeup artist who’s helping us create our own Magical Makeovers! Head over to my YouTube channel and check out how to get the looks of my four main characters, as well as celebrities Khloe Kardashian and Ke$ha. You can also enter to win a $100 gift certificate to Sephora or (if you live in the NYC area) a makeover day with me! Watch the video below for more info:
