For more recent updates please see my social web haunts: Svet News:27 september 2022 Enemies is available now! Get it at a local bookstore near you today! The hardcover, paperback, and digital editions are also available via Amazon.com. 3 january 2022 If you can't wait until September for Enemies, you're in luck... You will be able to pick up the first chapter of Enemies for free on April 13th as part of Free Comic Book Day! Not all comic shops get all the comics, so be sure to let your local comic shop know that you'd like them to have Enemies on hand that day! 14 december 2021 The next book in the Berrybrook Middle School series has been announced as Enemies! The star of Enemies is Felicity, who was first introduced in Awkward. A member of the art club, Felicity has big dreams, but her little sister Letty teases her that she never finishes anything she starts. To prove Letty wrong, Felicity enters a contest, but when things go in an unexpected direction, Felicity starts to wonder if her friends are turning against her. The book is scheduled to be released in September 2022. 30 october 2020 JY has been publishing The Town Tour, a Berrybrook Middle School Halloween Special, on their Instagram account with a new part every day through Halloween! After Awkward, many people wanted to know what happened to Maribella. That question was answered in a story in Diary that is also available as an e-book. In The Town Tour, Maribella's story continues as she gets a tour of her new town from some friends, but all is not quite as it appears to be! (Readers of The Weirn Books will especially enjoy this story.) Read Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, and Part 9 of 9. 15 september 2020 Tokyopop has re-released Dramacon in a 15th anniversary edition which you can get at Amazon or bookstores everywhere!
