The Karma Club - UK Cover!

Hello friends!

Sorry for being so quiet lately. The past few weeks since the holidays have been a total blur. I've been working night and day to get the Karma Club trailer ready for its big debut next month! It's coming along SO well and can't wait to share it with everyone!

AND I've been trying to wrap up my new book. I'm SO nearly there!

Well, enough excuses, on to the fun stuff...

The Karma Club - UK Release!

I've just heard from my fabulous YA publishers across the pond, Tick Tock Books, and they've designed the cutest cover for The Karma Club, which will be out there in June of 2010! You ready? Are you sure? Okay, here it is...

Tada!

Isn't it gorgeous!? I'm supposed to get a galley this week. I can't wait!

Okay, back to work. It was fun to come up for some air though and chat for a while. But now it's back to my writer's cave. 

See you soon!

Hi everyone!

Just got done with an exhausting, but totally exhilarating two-day shoot for The Karma Club book trailer! My feet are sore, my legs feel like jello but my spirits are sky high. It was probably one of the best experiences of my life. And I simply cannot WAIT to edit it all together and share it with all of you! Plus we've got some special surprises in store that I'll be able to talk in the new year.

I'll be posting pictures from the shoot VERY soon so watch this space. But in the meantime, check out this other cool stuff:

Jessica Brody's 52 REASONS TO HATE MY FATHER, in which a teen heiress, famous for her partygirl antics and tabloid headlines, is forced by her ever-absent mogul father to take on a different low-wage job every week for a year of life

Release Day!

It's finally here! The release of my second novel, LOVE UNDER COVER, is TODAY!

Check out some of the awesome things the reviewers have had to say about it:

"With a complicated, sympathetic protagonist, worthy stakes and a clever twist on the standard chick lit narrative, Brody will pull readers in from the first page."

-Publisher's Weekly

"Those who enjoyed Brody's debut will be eager to catch up with Jennifer, but newcomers will be intrigued, too...an honest, witty portrayal of modern love."
-Booklist

With her usual smart, deft, and witty prose, Brody delves deep into the psychology of a woman who tests the fidelity of strangers for a living but struggles with commitment in her own life."
-Joanne Rendell, author of Crossing Washington Square and The Professors' Wives' Club

And take a look at this amazing window display that the Barnes and Noble in Santa Monica did for the book!
