Excerpt:
Clueless as to what had her so excited, I sat quietly and waited for her to calm down. It was apparent she wore her emotions on her sleeve, and I knew right away she was a straight shooter. This girl couldn’t lie to save her life. The truth would always show on her face. She hooked a finger toward me and leaned in close again.“I cheer with Livvie on the Diamond team. She’s been talking you up, telling everyone what a great tumbler you are. Are you excited about your tryout tonight?”
My stomach fell as soon as the words “excited” and “tryout” fell out of her mouth. I was most certainly not excited. In fact, if I were being honest,I was dreading it. I’d lain awake most of the night, worrying the girls at the gym wouldn’t like, or accept me, and terrified I wouldn’t be able to meet the coach’s expectations. X Factor Cheer was looking for a ringer for their level five squad, an ace in the hole—someone with amazing acrobaticskill to “wow” the competition judges and audience.
Someone emphatically not me.
I'm a lover of books (YA
& Adult romance), chocolate, reality television, and am a proud mother to three All Star
cheerleaders. Woot!
I write Contemporary YA
romance with cheerleaders. Yep. I write what I know,
and it's my hope that my stories will not
only take you on a romantic journey that will warm your
heart, but that you'll find a new respect
and interest in the sport of Cheerleading you may not have had
before.
