Fiercely independent Chelsea Barnes has caught a rare break and been cast as the first non-celebrity on the hit show Celebrity Dance Off. Chelsea is coined ‘America’s Chance to Dance,’ but her partner planned on an A-lister, not a nobody.

Will is a charming college freshman from 1927 who travels forward through time. When Abbi and Will meet in the middle, love adds another complication to their lives. Communicating across time through a buried time capsule, they try to decode the mystery of their travel, find a lost baby, and plead with their champion, a kindly physics professor, to help them find each other again … even though the professor is younger each time Abbi meets him.

But when Marti, the reluctant rock princess, and Adam, the undercover guitar wizard, meet, sparks fly in more ways than one. They spend their time alternating between making out and driving each other crazy. But their summer adventures of skinny dipping, storm watching, and stolen kisses are brought to a halt when tragedy strikes.

Suddenly, they’re on opposite sides of the country, just when they need each other the most. Can Marti survive life with her dad and his vicious girlfriend? Will Adam get so fed up with his over-managed life and controlling parents that he quits the band?

    Hi Angie,
    I have just completed Snapshot for the second time. It is one of my favorite books. Both times I read it, I was so invested with what was going on that I felt as though I was a part of the story. I would absolutely love it if you did another book about Marti and Adam. Their love is so pure and beautiful and I want to see how their lives develop with each other. Would you consider writing another book about them? I was also hoping that you might consider making a film adaptation of Snapshot. Sometimes adaptations go horribly wrong but I think if it stayed true to the book and you found the right cast and crew, it could be perfect. I act and Marti would be a dream role for me. She is so strong throughout such harsh times and even when she seems weak, she gets through it all. Your writing is beautiful and I’d love to work with you someday.

    Lots of love,
    Eva Allen

      Eva,
      I love rereading books and hearing you felt like part of the book is awesome. That’s how I feel when I write them. There’s no plan for another Marti and Adam story at this time, but you never know. A movie would be really fun! And, of course, you can play her. 🙂
      Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me.

    So I finished Royally Lost at about 2am this morning – and let me tell you, I don’t stay up until 2am for just anyone – and I cannot tell you how annoyed I am about that. I constantly feel like I’m holding my breath, holding and holding with the expectancy building; I just want to turn around, look at your book, find that it’s 3 times longer than it was before and then breathe out in relief. Alas, we both know that will never happen. I imagine this is what Becca felt when she was torn from Nickolai; cold, hard separation anxiety. I seriously love your writing and this book (all your books actually) but I just wish I could see more girl-power moments from Becca and swoon at Nickolai and his blonde locks and broad shoulders, sigh. But I guess every good book leaves you wanting more. Congratulations on this tremendous piece of writing, it was incredibly entertaining and hey, I learnt a few things about Europe too!
    I’m positive you don’t need assurance of your skills from me, but keep writing like you do and I’ll certainly keep buying, love Anni. xxx

    P.S. Just letting you know I would totally buy a book with Alexi’s story. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

    I was just wondering if you were considering having the Jamison Brothers novels adapted. I’m going to college in Winter Park, Florida next year for screenwriting and would love a chance to work with you sometime.

      There are no plans for an adaptation at this time.
      Best of luck at school. Screenwriting sounds fascinating.
