Today is the release dayĀ of DREAM BOY by Mary Crockett and Madelyn Rosenberg! And to celebrate it several of us are talking about our dreams.
DREAM BOYĀ ā by Mary Crockett & Madelyn Rosenberg
Iāve always been a dreamer. Daydreams. Night dreams. Dreams of grandeur and dreams of escape. If I were an onion and you pulled back the papery outside, youād find layer after layer of eye-watering dreams. And in the center, where thereās that little curlicue of onion heart? Thereād be a puff of smoke from the dreams that burned away.
Annabelle Manning feels like sheās doing time at her high school in Chilton, Virginia. She has her friends at her lunchtime table of nobodies. What she doesnāt have are possibilities. Or a date for Homecoming. Things get more interesting at night, when she spends time with the boy of her dreams. But the blue-eyed boy with the fairytale smile is just thatāa dream. Until the Friday afternoon he walks into her chemistry class.
One of friends suspects heās an alien. Another is pretty sure itās all one big case of dĆ©jĆ vu. While Annabelle doesnāt know what to think, sheās willing to believe that the charming Martin Zirkle may just be her dream come true. But as Annabelle discovers the truth behind dreamsāwhere they come from and what they meanāshe is forced to face a dark reality she had not expected. More than just Martin has arrived in Chilton. As Annabelle learns, if dreams can come true, so can nightmares.
Doesn’t that sound like a cool story? Mary and Madelyn said we could interpret that ādream themeā any way we wantedāeither literally or aspirationally. I’m going to talk about my aspirational dreams.
Of course there is always the dream to go to Bora Bora. I mean, who doesn’t want that?
But lately I’m feeling like I’ve been living out my dreams lately with the release of GILDED. Next year, I’ll be taking time off to write full time, which is a dream come true.Ā I’m also hoping to have more time to connect with readers and friends.Ā So I guess for me, it’s to continue to live out this dream and I couldn’t ask for anything more.
I’m so excited for Mary and Madelyn! This is a big day for them and I wish them and DREAM BOY a big toast and congratulations!

Thanks so much for the boost and the help with our launch! And congrats on taking time off to write. That’s HUGE!!!!
Thanks, Christy! I want to go to Bora Bora too! If nothing else, just so I can casually begin conversations with “During my time in Bora Bora…”
