Because She Fell Asleep

Cover by SF Varney

Ember Amato is the prototypical high school senior, with a busy schedule, great friends, and a caring boyfriend. But her life takes a surprisingly dark turn when her best friend, Janell, falls asleep on the school bus one morning, waking up at a ramshackle house in the woods. Though presumably telling Ember all about the strange conversation she overheard there, Janell's disappearance one night speaks of her having held some information back. In pursuit of her best friend, Ember discovers a brutal murder. Fearing that a police investigation has grown cold, Ember puts it upon herself to look into these horrifying occurrences, However, in so doing, she sets off an unpredictable and dangerous chain of events.

I'll be reading from Because She Fell Asleep!

The Beginning

Technically, I was in elementary school the first time I had my fiction published. I wrote a story based on true events about my younger sister's back surgeries. It was titled Alicia's Alarm , and the short story was published in Guideposts for Kids Magazine. Though years have passed from that time to now, I have always enjoyed writing. I received a journalism degree from Rowan University, and I have spent a lot of time freelancing for newspapers. I've always loved fiction, though, and have pages of notes on novels I have been writing and intend on writing. I am now excited to have my first novel, Future Vision , being published through Metal Lunchbox Publishing. Future Vision is a young adult novel with a science fiction base and a romance plot sure to thrill pre-teen and teenage girls. Check back soon to learn more about Future Vision .

Back in the Swing of Things

Now that my daughter is six months old, I'm finally back to writing/editing on a daily basis. Be sure to check the "Events & Signings" tab for events to be posted in the near future. Also, check out my publisher's updated website !
