About the Crazy in Love series

The Crazy in Love series consists of three titles: 

The Problem With Crazy

 Eleven Weeks 

The Problem With Heartache.






Excerpt:

The warm sun beats down on my face. I open my eyes, fighting the stickiness that falling asleep while wearing mascara brings. I run my tongue along my teeth, the gross feeling of furry and—

Oh God.

Last night.

Michael.

I inch my leg behind me, hoping to feel his warmth. Maybe we can make this work, somehow. Michael seems to think we can.

One inch: warm bed sheets.

Two inches: the bed cools.

Three inches: nothing.

I flip over. His side of the bed is empty, the quilt pulled up, and the sheets tucked in, as if he had never even been there in the first place.

On his pillow lies a note, man-scrawl scratched across its surface in blue hotel-room pen.

I’ll keep your secrets.

I just won’t be one.

Ouch.







Character interview (Stacey):


All right, all the people have been asking … how come you didn’t make a move on Michael sooner, if you’ve loved him for all these years?

I didn’t make a move on him sooner primarily because he had a girlfriend, and I’m not that mean! And before that, apparently he never tried to make a move on me because I always had a boyfriend or didn’t act particularly interested.

Cut me some slack here, people! I didn’t want to take a chance because I thought he mighta been the one guy really worth fighting for.

And that would mean potentially getting hurt.

I’m not ready for that.



Let’s talk underage drinking. This book opens after you’ve done a whole lot of that …

Excuse me, I was twenty-four hours away from being of legal drinking age! Cut me some slack, please!

I have to admit though, I did drink a lot, and I have been trying to drink less. The thing is, I get so mad. I went to a relatively good school in a relatively quiet town, and I knew maybe one or two people who didn’t do those things, but if you read about doing them in a book, everyone’s all in an uproar. I just wanted to show you what my life was like. And I know I am not alone in it.



What do you look for in a guy?

Good arms, mostly.

What?

Oh, I mean, aside from that, I guess having a sense of humour is important. And I think I’m one of the few people out there who actually just wants someone head-over-heels nice. I’ve been with too many ‘bad boys’, and honestly? They’re not all they’re cracked up to be.

My perfect guy would also have a good sense of humour, be kind and intelligent – but not too intelligent! Not so smart they make me feel stupid.

And have I mentioned the arms thing yet? Because seriously. Good arms!



What’s the biggest thing you learnt during those eleven weeks of your life?

That it’s important to trust in yourself. You can deal with whatever the world throws at you: I promise.

Eleven Weeks (Crazy in Love #2)
Release Date: 01/2015

Summary from Goodreads:
Seven shots

***
Stacey is good at pretending.

She pretends that the boy she's in love with doesn't exist.

She pretends that she's happy to live and die in this small town.

And it's going to ruin everything,





Excerpt:


We walk into the lounge room, and it really is like walking into a house for the mourning. The heavy curtains are pulled shut, casting the room in shadow. Someone-presumably Deb-has lit an incense candle, so the heady scent of lavender fills the room. It creeps down my throat, choking me, and I stop, swallow, and try to take shallow breaths. Now is not the time to throw up.

On the couch is Kate. Scrunched up balls of tissue surround her, a pile of them on the floor, and a beige-coloured blanket covers her from the waist down. Her eyes are open, and she's staring straight ahead, but she doesn't make any move to signal she knows I'm in the room.

It's the single saddest thing I've ever seen.

I tiptoe over to her side, clear a space in the tissue debris and sit cross-legged on the floor next to her. "Kate?"

Nothing. Her eyes look straight past me, straight through me, to something I can't see.

My best friend is gone.

And I don't know if she's coming back.
