Visit my web site at www.jennifer-echols.com !THE BOYS NEXT DOOR is available now in bookstores and online from Amazon and Barnes and Noble . To celebrate, the heroine, Lori McGillicuddy, is throwing a virtual book launch party ! She is a little socially challenged, so it would mean a lot to her if you went over to say hi (but DON'T tell her I said that about her because she will FREAK).
THE BOYS NEXT DOOR is published by Simon Pulse, the teen line for Simon & Schuster.
Cute, available, and one cabin over...
Lori lives for summertime at her family's lake house. She spends all season wakeboarding, swimming, and hanging with her friends--including the two hotties in the cabin next door. With the Vader brothers, Lori's always been one of the guys.
But while Lori and the "baby" brother, Adam, are inseparable friends, she can't deny a secret crush on Sean, the older Vader boy. This year Sean's been paying Lori a lot of attention, and not in a brotherly way.
But just as Lori decides to prove to Sean she's girlfriend material, she realizes that her role as girl friend to Adam may be even more important. And by trying so hard for the perfect summer romance, she could be going way overboard...
MAJOR CRUSH is published by Simon Pulse, the teen line for Simon & Schuster. It's available now from your local bookstore or online from Amazon and Barnes and Noble !
Marching to the beat of a different drum...
Tired of the beauty-pageant circuit, Virginia Sauter tosses her tiara, pierces her nose, and auditions for the most unlikely of roles--drum major of the high school marching band.
Virginia wins, but is forced to share the title with Drew, whose family has held the position for generations. Sure, Drew is hot, but because of his superior attitude, he and Virginia are constantly arguing. That is, until they share more than just their half-time salute...
But as the drum majors' heated competition turns to sizzling romance, explosive rumors threaten everything--including the band's success. Love seemed to be a sure hit, but Virginia and Drew may be marching straight into disaster.
Watch for my next book from MTV Books in March 2009. In RUNNING TO STAND STILL, a 17-year-old avoids prosecution for a high school stunt by spending spring break on night patrol with the 19-year-old rookie cop who arrested her. You can read the first chapter here !
Watch for my next romantic comedy, THE EX-GAMES, about a snowboarder who challenges her ex-boyfriend to a battle of the sexes on the slopes, coming from Simon Pulse in Fall 2009!
