Red Hot News: OVER MY HEAD Comes Out Summer 2011!

Here’s some news I’ve been keeping under wraps for a while. But now I can finally spill…

Ever wonder what happened to Sang and her friends after WHAT I MEANT… finished?  Well, soon you’ll get your chance to find out.  The sequel, Over My Head, is scheduled to come out in a few months — just in time for summer!

I’m thrilled to say this book is already generating some praise, including this:

“Marie Lamba brings a fresh, new, and very authentic voice to this fabulous young adult novel. Coming of age has never been done so well!” — L.A. Banks, New York Times Best-selling author of The Vampire Huntress Legends series

Exciting things are happening every day, so check back often for updates, cover art, and special extras for this new summery novel! I promise to post stuff here as quickly as I can.

And here are some juicy details about Over My Head:

.

“I wish I could recreate myself – become somebody more exciting. Heroic. In love.”

Be careful what you wish for.

Sang Jumnal jumps into the summer before her senior year with big plans, and she really does get everything she wishes for…but not at all in the ways she’d planned.

She didn’t plan on facing her fear of swimming through a series of humiliating kiddy lessons, followed by a malicious push into the deep end.

Or falling hard for 20-year-old lifeguard Cameron Cerulli, who is either the guy of her dreams, or a player out to stomp on her heart.

Or fighting with her dad, who hates her every independent thought and who bans her from seeing Cameron.

Or discovering a huge secret her parents have been keeping—a secret about disappearing money and a rare disease that threatens someone very important to Sang.

Suddenly Sang’s summer is overflowing with excitement. There’s hysterical laughter, lots of family drama, heart-pounding passion, even a catfight. And she’s teetering on the dangerous brink of true love.

Will she sink or swim?

Over My Head is a steamy summertime novel filled with sticky situations and a twist that will melt your heart…

So that’s the big news for now. Can’t wait until the start of summer to start reading this novel?  In the meantime, you can check out an excerpt from the book by clicking here.

This summer is going to sizzle!
