WALLFLOWER Release Day!

categories: doing what you love, Harry Potter, Release Day, Romance, self-publishing, Wallflower, YA

Yay, yay, yay!!!! It’s finally here, you guys!

Book baby #7 is now out in the world!

Happy Release Day to WALLFLOWER!!! <3

The cover and book still make me smile/sigh.

I hope WALLFLOWER gives you the warm fuzzies, too! I loved every second of writing this story. Oh, I hope people can see a bit of themselves in introverted, hopeless romantic Viola. She’s also a dog, movie and Harry Potter lover. Totally a girl after my own heart lol. And Dare. Gah! I am so in love with him. He’s confident, popular, a talented athlete–but it’s his thoughtfulness, awesome sense of humor, and his sincerity that I hope will win readers’ hearts. He definitely won mine :).

If you love YA romance, fake boyfriends, dogs, dorks, jocks, swoon-worthy kisses and laughing out loud, I hope you’ll give WALLFLOWER a try! This is my 7th book, you guys! And yes, one of those was a novella. But still! There are seven books in the Harry Potter series. So that must be a good sign, right???

Ah, I can’t believe it!

WALLFLOWER is now available!

May the Force, Harry Potter and all the good juju in the world be will you little book! I hope you bring anyone who reads you so much joy and love!

Happy reading,

It’s here, it’s here, it’s finally here!

The Best Mistake is releasing today! Hooray!!!!!

Ahh, you guys, I’m feeling all the feels! Part of it may be lack of sleep/stress lol, but the real reason is I’m SO excited to share this book with you! The Best Mistake is my first New Adult sports romance, and I hope you fall in love with it! <333 Honor Tierney (innocent bookworm determined to guard her heart), Archer O’Brien (gifted athlete, protective/oldest O’Brien brother, made up of swoon), gah, I love them so much!!! And ALL of the characters! Can I just say, I am head-over-heels in love with everyone in this book? Not that I’m biased or anything ;).

In this uncertain, scary time, I hope this story brings a little brightness to your day! I hope it lifts you up and gives you some happiness! Thank you so much to every person who has supported me and this book! It means everything <3. Be well and safe, my lovely bookworms!

categories: audiobook, cover love, Release Day, Romance, The Good Girl's Guide to Being Bad, YA

Today is very special!

The Good Girl’s Guide to Being Bad audiobook releases today, yay!!! And my best friend/favorite person of all time was born on this day years ago!

When I found out TGGGTBB audiobook would release on September 30th, I was so excited. I didn’t actually get to pick the date; Tantor Media did, and I’m so glad they chose such a great one :).

Here’s the beautiful cover <3.

I love everything about it, of course! <333

And the narration of the audiobook! Wow! Madeleine Dauer, the narrator, was absolutely perfect for Sadie!!! When I first heard her voice, I knew she’d be wonderful, but then I listened to the sample of the audiobook. Oh my gosh, you guys! Her inflection, the emotion she managed to convey with her voice, the timing, it was so right on! I laughed out loud and smiled several times. Just brilliantly done!

If you love audiobooks and YA romance, you should definitely give The Good Girl’s Guide to Being Bad a listen!

Happy audiobook release day to TGGGTBB!!!

And to my best friend who I miss dearly every day: Happy birthday, Aunt Pat! I love you so much and wish you were here. It’s hard even on the good days being without you. You made every moment brighter and better, and I just miss you. I hope there are books, birthday cake, and all the best things up in Heaven. I love you always. Say hi to Mema & Papa, and kiss the babies for us. Love, Your Cookie.

Happy reading (and listening),

It’s a very exciting day, you guys! NINJA GIRL is now available as an audiobook!!!

Did you see the cover? *__* Oh my Ash, I love it and hope you do, too!

I’m so excited about this release and the narrators. Emily Woo Zeller is amazing! I’ve listened to some of her other work and thought she’d be great for Snow–then I heard a sample of NINJA GIRL.

And you guys: She. Is. Perfect!!!

You should go listen because seriously, wow! Emily captures the exact right feel of the characters/book right from the start. Can’t wait to hear the brilliant Brandon Utah voice Ash as well! <3 Emily and Brandon are so talented, and I’m thrilled they brought NINJA GIRL to life in audio!

I hope you’ll check it out, and let me know what you think! And if you know anyone who loves YA romance, ninjas and audiobooks, as always, I’d be so thankful if you’d help me spread the word :).

Ethan Wilder in Paperback!!!

categories: Amazon, doing what you love, giveaway, Happy Holidays Giveaway, Release Day, Romance, self-publishing, The Unbelievable Inconceivable Unforeseeable Truth About Ethan Wilder, YA, YA mystery

It’s here, it’s here (and just in time for Christmas)!

The Unbelievable, Inconceivable, Unforeseeable Truth About Ethan Wilder is available in paperback.  Hooray!!! 😀

Honestly, it was kind of a crap day yesterday because I kept waiting…and waiting…and waiting for the book to publish.  Amazon does say it can take up to “72 hours for your book to be available,” but I’d never experienced this before.  It’s only taken 3-5 hours tops for my previous books.  But thankfully, after all the worry that I’d done something wrong, that KDP Publishing might come back and say nope, please resend, Book Baby #3 went live about 21 hours after I hit publish.

Delilah & Ethan’s story is now out there in physical form, a book that you can hold in your hands, flip through the pages and add to your shelves.  Gah, I’m so excited to add this one :).

I hope my little YA romance murder mystery 1) makes you fall in love with Ethan, Delilah, George, Aunt B and all the quirky characters of Bowie, 2) makes you swoon, and 3) keeps you guessing until the end.  Oh, and I truly hope you enjoy the heck out of it!

If you do, please let me know!  Hearing from readers is one of my most favorite things <3.  Ahhh, Ethan Wilder in paperback.

Inconceivable :).

I hope everyone has an awesome weekend!

Happy reading,

Cookie O’Gorman

P.S. You can still enter the Happy Holidays Giveaway!  There are a bunch of prizes and several ways to enter (using the rafflecopter near the end of the post linked above).  Good luck, everyone!

ADORKABLE Audiobook Release Day!

categories: Adorkable, audiobook, cover love, doing what you love, Release Day, Romance, YA

Today’s the day: ADORKABLE is officially available as an audiobook!!!  Woohoo, yayyy, huzzah!

Don’t you just love how the ADORKABLE audiobook cover is so like the original?  The gorgeous/swoony feel, the colors and that bench *sigh*.  Thank you so much to Tantor Media for making this happen and to Andrea Emmes, the incredible narrator!  Seriously guys, she rocks, and I’m so lucky she’s the one reading Sally and Becks’s story <3.

As many times as I’ve read ADORKABLE, I absolutely LOVED hearing the story read to me!

It’s such an amazing experience to hear the words.  If you loved Sally and Becks, I think you’ll adore the audiobook!  And if you haven’t read the book, there’s a new way to experience ADORKABLE on Audible, Google, iTunes, Kobo and other outlets, including libraries *__*.

(FYI: Libraries are made of awesome.)

ADORKABLE is now an audiobook, you guys!  Ugh, I’m so excited, and if you’d help spread the word, I’d be so very thankful.  Please check it out, and let me know what you think :-).  May the Force, Becks, and Harry Potter be with you.  I hope you all have an awesome Saturday!

Happy reading (and listening),

Cookie O’Gorman

P.S.  There will be a giveaway next week to celebrate, yayyy!
