I'm so excited to announce that you can now have your first look at Oasis - its exclusive excerpt was revealed this week over at The Nerd Daily. I'm beyond thrilled to see one of my absolute favorite entertainment sites host this reveal for my novel. Here's the snippet of the announcement on Twitter: You can now read this excerpt which I've personally selected for this purpose here: https://www.thenerddaily.com/oasis-katya-de-becerra-excerpt/ Like what you see? Don't forget to add this book on Goodreads . Or why not pre-order now , so you can receive it as soon as it's released AND support its author 😉(After all, pre-orders show to publishers that there's lots of interest in a particular book and that means the author's chances of ever publishing another book grow!)

Lucia's debut YA novel is BORROWED and I had a pleasure to read and review an early copy - and, WOW, this book, THIS BOOK.  Have a read, and if you feel like it, leave your impressions and well wishes to Lucia's on her debut's publication in the comments.  About BORROWED Love, mystery, and danger collide in this new literary thriller with the dark heart of a Gillian Flynn novel and the lyrical prose of Jandy Nelson’s I’ll Give You the Sun .

As seventeen-year-old Linnea celebrates the first anniversary of her heart transplant, she can’t escape the feeling that the wires have been crossed. After a series of unsettling dreams, inked messages mysteriously appear on her body, and she starts to wonder if this new heart...

It's finally here! It's done! My debut novel is out in the world and I'm not a published author! I'm overwhelmed! I'm feeling surreal! I'm so happy! Are there ever words to describe how grateful I am that readers, bloggers, reviewers, and booksellers took a chance on me, an unknown debut author? What can I even say to properly thank everyone who preordered my book, everyone who requested its early reader copies, everyone who talked it up, who reviewed it, who shouted about it on social media? I'm just . . . so freaking happy! I'm grateful and blown away and very happy. Have I said "happy" multiple times already? My bad! That's I feel - that's all! I'm not going to replicate my massive Twitter thread here and thank all the awesome people who were involved in making WHAT THE WOODS KEEP possible, but I will say this: If you like dark, genre-bending books, narrated by strange girls and set in mercurial eerie and rainy places, then...
