I’m starting a new chick lit novel from scratch this weekend. Which pretty much means I’ll be trying to “plot” while staring out a window somewhere.

Book #2 from the Backstage Pass Series RELEASES TODAY
Guys! MIA & THE BAD BOY, by Lisa Burstein, is fiiiiiiinally here!
If you like your boy band boys on the smexy bad side, this is the book for you!
Here’s the blurb:
This good girl’s about to meet her match…
Ryder Brooks is living the dream—he’s famous, loved by millions of girls, and miserable. All he really wants is to write his own music, not Seconds to Juliet’s sugary sweet pop. In order to do that, though, the “bad boy” of the band will have to play by the rules. And that includes behaving with his new—and super cute—über-good-girl tutor.
Mia Reyes is in fangirl heaven. Tutoring her favorite member of her favorite band? It’s a dream come true…until it turns into a complete nightmare. Ryder is nothing like she thought. He’s crude, arrogant, and pretty much a total jerk. And the worst part? She’s roped into pretending to be his girlfriend so that no one finds out he’s being tutored. Fake kisses, plenty of PDA, and even sharing his hotel room…
But sometimes even the baddest of bad boys needs a little redemption.
Pick it up for $2.99!

My very truncated history with boy bands…
1) When I first saw “I’ll be Loving You Forever” on MTV (yes, MTV used to show videos)
(Jordan wore a Batman t-shirt, and I had insta-love.)
2) When NKOTB broke our hearts by going all Boston gangsta street.
3) When we all realized that was fricking Donnie in “The Sixth Sense.”
4) When the grunge of the ’90’s had gone on for too long, and then Backstreet Boys burst out in all their sunny, poppy glory.
5) When Nick’s dreamy blue eyes (much like Miles Carlisle’s) and mine met through the TV screen, and I just knew.
6) When I went to the Millennium tour and sat 15 rows back, and Nick flew right over my section. I swear, our eyes met again, and he was totally singing just to me!
7) When I went to the Black & Blue tour and heard “Not For Me” live, and it was super hot and awesome and Nick.
8) When Nsync broke up.
9) When BSB hit those dark days: AJ went to rehab, Nick got soft and doughy, Howie’s hair got all long and weird, Brian went solo, and Kevin left the band.
10) When my sister visited London and brought back McFly’s debut cd, and daaaaamn, so much British boy band love happened.
11) When NKOTBSB became a thing (who know this could be a thiiiiing!)
12) When–because of Aimee and the Heartthrob–I was “forced” to research current boy bands (hello, I feel old), and I fell flat on my booty for 1D, along with the rest of the world.
14) Last but not least, Nick’s smile…
Aimee and the Heartthrob is ALIVE!

Crossing Abby Road’s original start
Today my newest, littlest baby is born into the world. CROSSING ABBY ROAD is a companion novel to ABBY ROAD, which I published two years ago. Originally, I had a disclaimer at the beginning of CAR, to give fans of the first book a little sneaky hint about what the new book is all about. Though we ended up cutting it, I still think it’s cute and I’m sharing it with you today. *grins*
Disclaimer
You might have heard of the book ABBY ROAD, about a girl in that famous band who meets a guy while she’s on a beach vacation. Well, I’m that guy, and now I’m telling my side of the story. As a dude, it’s probably way different than what you already heard from Abby, but this is how it really went down…

Cover Reveal ~ Aimee and the Heartthrob (and a bonus)
Before you can see the pretties, I wanted to say how excited I am about this project, my first YA novel. Its planning and creation has been a joy, and it just MIGHT be my favorite of all my books so far…no! of course I didn’t mean that… *strokes my other books*
Backstage Pass Books series:
Five guys thought winning a making-of-the-band reality TV show would be the pinnacle of their career…until their band scored a sell-out stadium tour and became the hottest group in the country. Trying to keep their personal lives out of the tabloids while they maneuver media near-disasters and dodge rabid fans leaves little time for romance—not that their manager would allow it anyway.
But maybe, if their luck holds out, a summer on the road might lead each guy to that one girl he’s been waiting his whole life to sing for…if fame doesn’t get in the way.
Join The Heartthrob, The Bad Boy, The Big Brother, The Shy Boy, and The Cute One as they hit the road in search of their one true love. Could it be you?
Aimee and the Heartthrob (Backstage Pass #1) – releasing 4/14/15 
He never noticed her before, but now she’s all he can see…
Miles Carlisle is every teen girl’s fantasy. His rugged good looks and exotic British accent have helped catapult his boy band, Seconds to Juliet, to super-stardom. But after two disastrous and very public breakups, Miles isn’t interested in dating just any girl; he wants The One. And the only girl he’s interested in is not only his best friend’s little sister―and off-limits―but won’t even give him the time of day…
As a kid, Aimee Bingham had a huge thing for Miles…until he made fun of her for always tagging along. Now that she’s outgrown both him and her pigtails. the prospect of spending two weeks on tour with the childhood crush who broke her heart isn’t exactly enticing. Except now Miles seems interested. Very interested. And no matter how hard Aimee tries to resist him, her crush is definitely making a comeback.
But everyone knows that falling for a heartthrob is a backstage pass to heartbreak…
**This Entangled Teen Crush book contains references to drug use, drinking, some sexual content, and lots and lots of kissing. Its swoonworthy hero may ruin all others for you.
