Contract Signing!

This month, I received and signed my contract!  This can take some time, so as authors know, it's super special to finally sign and return it.

I am hard at work and on deadline, and I am so excited to share these new books with you!

We ARE Back!!!

Oh my gosh.... It has been FOREVER since we wrote to you all! Please Forgive us!

Lexi Here--- Oh my goodness, how amazing has 2015 already been for you?! It has been amazing for Mandy and I too! I have been back in Nashville finally for a few weeks. We had our first SOLD OUT show here in Nashville which was amazing! I LOVED having all of my MK family here in Music City for Leadership too!

I wanted to share my newest project! Shout out to my buddies Tyler Ross and Phil Oritz for all their hard work! Check out my COVER VIDEO of Ingrid Michealson's "Girls Chase Boys"! It's the country version and I hope you love it!!

Happy Sunday Ya'all!

I have exciting news this week! My management company Patton House Entertainment has merged with a larger management company called First Company Management! First company manages the christian group The Newsboys, they starred in the movie "Gods Not Dead" this year! They also manage a lot of other great acts and I am excited to be one of the First Company artists.

Friday night I went to the SOLD OUT Newsboys and 7th Time Down show here in Nashville! It was amazing and so inspiring! They are on tour now and I recommend everybody catch their show!!

What's up this weekend?

Just a quick note - I'll be blogging like a madwoman ALL WEEKEND for the SCBWI Midsouth Conference, which is basically a conference where writers from all over the Midsouth come to learn all of the ins and outs of the publishing world.  I'm leading a trusty blog team with amazing authors like Colette Ballard, Bethany Griffin, and illustrator Cat York, so if you want a taste of what a writers conference is all about, check it out - we'll be at SCBWI MIDSOUTH 2014 all weekend!

Lexi is singing in good old Ogallala, Nebraska tonight, where it's already cold - and my parents are in attendance!  Go Lex!
