Send, coming August, 2012

Last year, a short version of Send finished in the top ten of the Writer’s Digest 79th Annual Writing Competition. Send will be released in August 7, 2012 by Sourcebooks, Inc. I am still beaming!

What’s it about? Glad you asked. Here’s the description:

When Dan was thirteen, he did something so bad, a kid committed suicide. He served time, moved a bunch of times and even changed his name, but the kid’s revenge-obsessed dad keeps finding him. He breaks up a fight on his first day at a new school and learns there are other things more important than his secrets… things like protecting Brandon, a boy who’s the target of everyone’s taunts… and avoiding Julie, a girl with secrets of her own… secrets that could not only reveal Dan’s, they could get him killed.

I blog often (click the Compelling Story link), about great books, about chocolate (!), about movies I’ve seen, about raising teens (holy cr@p!) – in other words, whatever I want. You can also find me on Twitter (follow @pattyblount), Pinterest (http://pinterest.com/pattyblount), Facebook (Patty Ann Moreno Blount) or email me at pattyblount3(at)gmail dot com. The photo above was taken by Dan at Demetriad Studios in NYC. I’m represented by The Ethan Ellenberg Agency.

Oh, and just so you know, I love chocolate. I mean, LOVE it.

Thanks for stopping by. I love comments so if you’ve read a good book, tell me about it!
