AFSP Out of the Darkness Denver Metro Walk

Last year I had the honor of participating in the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s Out of the Darkness Walk in Denver, and I am very pleased to announce that this year I will be participating again!

According to the AFSP, suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States. On average, there are 121 suicides committed each day. And these are just a few unbelievably heartbreaking statistics.

Now I will personally admit that I have had an ongoing battle with depression and anxiety and struggled with thoughts of suicide for years, and this is why this is such an important issue that is near and dear to my heart.

The story of IN 27 DAYS deals with the heavy issues of suicide and mental health, things that are often wrongfully ignored in today’s society.  Taboo topics such as these need to become a normal part of today’s dialogue, and that is why I’m so happy to be apart of AFSP’s Out of the Darkness walk – and you should too!

Please click on the link below to be taken to team IN 27 DAYS’ fundraising page to find out more about the AFSP’s Out of the Darkness walk and how you can support this important cause! And, if you feel so inclined, maybe leave a donation as well! Any little bit helps, really!

Pre-Order Update!

Hello, lovely readers!

So there’s been a bit of an oops on my part, and for that I deeply apologize!

But firstly, thank you so much to everyone that’s sent in their pre-order information so far! The emails just came pouring in, and I am so excited everyone’s interested in IN 27 DAYS!

However it turns out that my publisher, Blink, will actually be the ones sending along the bonus chapter and not me! So hang on to that pre-order snap, and I’ll be posting info on the new email address Blink will be setting up that you can send your snap to in order to get your bonus chapter!

I am just so sorry that this mix-up happened! But rest assured, you all will absolutely be getting your bonus chapter asap!

Lots of love,

Hello, world!

Welcome to the first preview of my new author website!

I’m known as @HonorInTheRain on Wattpad, where I first started writing all the way back in 2011, but now I’m joining the big leagues with the publication of my YA novel, IN 27 DAYS! Thanks to the fabulous people over at Blink/HarperCollins, IN 27 DAYS is set to be released in summer of 2017! I can’t tell you how excited I am that my biggest dream is coming true!

It wouldn’t have been possible without all those fabulous readers over at Wattpad promoting the story, commenting and voting and sharing their enthusiasm! Seriously. You all have my undying gratitude.

So I would love for you all to stay tuned during this exciting time in my life! Here I’ll be posting updates on the publishing process and what I’m currently working on, important dates and info concerning media events and preorder information, and other random day-to-day events! You could even bookmark this site too, just to make it easier. 🙂
