I can’t believe it’s time for book #8 in the Canterwood Crest series! Ahhh!! We’re at the halfway point now of sixteen books and it’s. . . well, hard to articulate how I feel. Excited. Humbled. Scared. (And scared because I don’t want to disappoint my reader girlies with any book.) Thrilled. Etc.
After eight books, I’m in love with my characters as ever and their horses. The adventures at Canterwood are continuing and I love being along for the ride.
Shout outs and sparkles to the Simon & Schuster team, our photographer, amazing models and the readers who allow me to live my dream to write. Special xoxo to Editor Kate for working her magic and putting her talent into this book.
Yaaaay, HSD! 😀
So, since it’s a special day, I’m opening comments! I want you to tell me what YOUR sparkle is! 🙂 Mine, of course, is lip gloss and hanging out with my BFF.
Leave a comment here or Tweet at me or Editor K. We can’t wait to hear about your sparkle!
PS: Comments have gotten sticky in the past, so please keep them clean. If there’s any drama, I’ll have to close them and that would be sad. 😦 So post away on what makes you happy and yaaay HOME SWEET DRAMA!

Yay first comment! :)My sparkle is curling up in my fuzzy blanket and reading a good horse book (especially Canterwood :D)I like nail polish a lot, to 🙂 Congrats on your 8th book, Jess! 🙂
Wow!!!! I am soooo exited about HSD!!! I cAn't wait till after school when I get it. Anyway my sparkles goes to my bffs and of course the schoolpony that I ride -Sara S
My sparkle is definitely when I arrive at the barn, and my horse has her head over her stall, neighing for me. Especially if it's a night of no homework, so I can ride forever. It's the only thing better than cherry lip gloss, glittery nail polish, pinkness and of course, a huge piece of chocolate cake. I LOVED HSD, and am already dying for the next to come out. I really liked the cover picture too, and the story was amazing. Congratulations!!!!
I was lucky enough to get my hands on Home Sweet Drama last Friday, but didn't read it until Sunday because we had company until Sunday afternoon. I loved it, it was soooo good! My sparkle is reading a good book (* cough * Canterwoood * cough *), having fun with friends, doing well at dance, and lip gloss 😀 Congratulations on Home Sweet Drama, Jess!
OMG Jess ur books r AMAZING!!!!!!! My sparkle is def. riding my pony and of course reading CC. Keep writing! I luv ur books!!!
Hi!!! i'm on sprind break, and ym aunt, who works at barnes & noble is going to get me the book! yay! And i wanted to give a shout out to Suzanne Weyn, she's starting a new series, she's already has to book's that came out in march, the first one, that i'm reading right now is called Daring to Dream, and the second one, is called Playing for keeps.it's about a thirteen year old girl named taylor, her parent's had split up recently, and she loves horses & riding but her mom is to poor to pay for lesson's, here's thew summary on the back of the first book:Taylor Henry Loves horses, but her single mom can't afford riding lessons, much less a horse. So when she discovers an abandoned gelding, and pony, Taylor is happy just to be around them. But the rescued animals have nowhere to go, and Taylor is running out of time to find them a good home. could the empty, dirty, old barn on Wildwood Lane be the answer? And could Taylor's wildest dream-a horse of her own-finaly come true?Well I hope you guy's check it out! But Canterwood Crest, will alway's be the best! Hope erick and Sasha get back together! Hope callie and Jacob fall down a well! Hope Paige and what's his anme get together! Love you Jess!
I have so many sparkles I don't know where to start! Canterwood, fresh's new Rose lip gloss, Halloween, kitty cats, and DEFINITELY mani/pedis with my BFF!xx,Editor K
My sparkle has to be my wonderful mare. I'm so blessed to have a horse and I will never take that for granted. I love you Dottie! Any other sparkles would have to be writing and music.
