Help me launch this book! This is a pre-order campaign and a chance to get pre-release copies and other goodies.

Don't Judge a Book By Its Magic
Genre: Fantasy/Romance

I would love to get a good head start for my upcoming book. This is my third book and first series, and it should have a running start. You can participate with a good old-fashioned pre-order, or you can be more daring and join me in my launch, or even my work with me on my next book! 


Here is the synopsis of the book: 
Colleen is a normal girl. She loves shoes, chick flicks, and cute clothes. The only thing abnormal about her is that she’s just become a magician; not the disappearing bunny kind, but the power-shooting-out-of-your-hands kind of magician.
Her problem now is that she doesn't believe in magic. Well, she believes in it. She's seen it shoot out of her own hands, but she opposes it in a moral sense; no hexes, no spells, no incantations, no potions, no amulets, no tomes, no casting circles, no eye of newt, none of that. She has to be very clear because people pressure her about it. Whatever they say about “how it’s done”, this is a morality issue for her and she will not cave in to their pressure.
Join Colleen at Seattle Pacific Regional University, where she becomes a part of The Convergence. She'll learn the freaky side of Work Study, Financial Aid, and Vyxhepiocht. Seriously, she's never seen so many hot guys. It's going to be wild!

(Insider secret: This book's title was changed. It used to be "How to Win Friends and Influence Magicians)

Kathleen Firstenberg, my star editor, is now buffing and polishing it. The goal of the project is to raise funds for her fees. If you exceed my expectations, then my hope for this book is give it a blog tour through Novel Publicity! (I'd love to do the Whirlwind Tour.)
Join me in this journey! Several of my Rewards are designed to make you a part of the book writing and publishing process!
