I’m so grateful for this DIVE SMACK blurb from 1992 USA Olympic springboard diver @karenlaface. Knowing her, as a friend and someone I admire, is a big reason why I chose diving as Theo’s sport, which is also used as a metaphor for his life spiraling out of control. Karen also proofread all the diving scenes and chapter headings, providing me expert feedback. DIVE SMACK releases June 19th from @torteen and is available for preorder, but there’s also a GOODREADS GIVEAWAY happening now.

I’m loving this smoking hot pic of #divesmack taken by @ameliabrunskill author of #thewindow. Thanks for reading. 🔥💧 ・・・ Don't worry, no ARCs were burnt (or even singed!) during this photo shoot of DIVE SMACK, a twisty thriller by @demebrodsky. :) #bookstagram #book #booknerd #yalit #yathriller #thrillerbooks #torteen #macmillan #macmillankids #bookworm #booklove #hotbooks #jlgselection #yafiction #divemack2018 #electric18s #2018debut
I rarely take a day off. It’s actually kind of a problem. But the weather this weekend had me throwing in the towel. I still kept a notebook with me to jot down the missing ideas that inevitably came to me in floods once I chilled the hell out. Best decision I’ve made in the last 6 months. Hope your weekend was lovely. 🌊 ☀️ 🏝 #slackerlife #beachvibes #letitgo #illworktomorrow #amplotting #dontjudgeme #igotthis #luckiestgirlintheworld #needtopaintmytoes #beachtownlife #grateful #relaxandrecharge #amreading #summertempsinspring #somedaysareawesome #beachbeachletsgotothebeach

Hey guys! I’ve been getting this question a lot lately and thought it would be nice to put up the definition related to my debut novel’s title, especially since the main character is a springboard diver. Special thanks to my friend @karenlaface, a 1992 USA Olympic springboard diver, for proofing all the diving in my book, as well as the definitions that subtitle each chapter, and blurbing. She’s a huge reason why I chose diving as Theo’s sport. Let me know if you guys have anymore questions or want to see more quotes or snippets from the book prelaunch? 🔥💧 💫 💫 💫 #bookstagram #book #bookworm #bookish #booknerd #debut #2018debut #springboard #youngadultbooks #yathriller #thrillerbooks #psychologicalthriller #ya #qanda #torteen #macmillan #yabooks #yafiction #booklover @besscozby

An endearing send off at @thegerritsens house for the sweetest friend as she starts a new adventure in Arizona @marissaweir - We love you and we’ll see you soon. In the meantime, have so much fun! ❤️#friends #friendsforlife #desertlife
Spring has sprung in my yard. I left the flowers for a moment and went to look at the sea from the bluffs in search of more tranquility before my inevitable return to busy on Monday. Giving myself permission to relax is new for me, a foreign concept that I’m finding refreshing and inspiring. Tulips always remind me of @hemcguire, one of my very best friends. Hope your weekend has been nature and beauty filled. #amreading #amplotting #relaxandrecharge #wanderingmind
I love this dark, delicious photo posted by @ellejauffret. I’m feeling the need to💧dive into💧 a little dark chocolate myself. ・・・ How to do spring break: start work late with a cup of matcha and a fast paced novel as intense as the dark chocolate I’ve been nibbling on. DiveSmack is the debut YA thriller by my good friend/sister @demebrodsky #divesmack #matcha #matchalatte #chocolate #lindt #thriller #books #bookstagram #booklover #yalit #youngadult #thriller #suspense #torteen #macmillan #springboard #watersports

I bought this sign to hang in the bathroom where my daughters get ready in the morning. Do you think they’ll like it? I’m thinking I need to adopt this this solid mantra, as well. You can do hard things!🌼🌸💐 Happy Spring! * * * #tinymoments #spreadjoy #kaiafitnorthcounty #supportwomen #mothersanddaughters #whatsyourmantra #yaauthorlife
Thanks @mindofabookdragon for the pretty picture of all these #thrillsandchills18 books. I can’t wait for you to start reading. ・・・ I keep forgetting that it’s Monday. Not having a phone is hard because I never know what time it is. Do you wear a watch? I should wear a watch. I’ve come into some really great books lately, thank you @danammele for this amazing stack !! Can’t wait to read them! • • • #bookstagram #books #bookstack #yalit #yathrillers #electric18s #torteen #macmillan #youngadult #bookblogger #giveaway
