Karly has recently joined me and a growing number of others in the indie/self-publishing world with her brand-new book, Into the Shadows.


Paivi Anderson has it all—friends, a spot on the varsity basketball team, wonderful parents, and quite possibly, her first boyfriend. It was everything a freshman in high school could ask for. Her perfect life begins to crumble when she discovers her name on a list distributed by a power-hungry presidential candidate. How could anyone think of Paivi as an Enemy of the State? Could it be because of her special powers? No one was supposed to know about them, but the mysterious messages in her tater tots say otherwise. In INTO THE SHADOWS, Paivi quickly learns who her friends are and is forced into a reality she didn’t see coming.

Karly is a teacher and a mom, living with her family in the Chicago suburb of Elgin, Illinois. She’s also pursuing a Master’s degree. How she finds the time to do it all, I have no idea. Plus, she also blogs, hangs out at Facebook and on Twitter. Go follow her! And check out her book!

I haven’t had a chance to read Into the Shadows yet, but it’s definitely on my TBR list. Lucky you – you get a chance to win a copy of Into the Shadows. Just ask Karly a question in the comments and you’re entered. I’ll randomly pick a winner and announce tomorrow.

*For the Purpose Virtual Release Party, I’m paying it forward by highlighting books and their authors, blogs and their writers, and charities and causes. For a list of those I’ve featured, stay tuned to the party’s page.
