Author Chat with Jackson Pearce

Ever since Viola's boyfriend broke up with her, she has spent her days silently wishing—to have someone love her again and, more importantly, to belong again—until one day she inadvertently summons a young genie out of his world and into her own. He will remain until she makes three wishes.

Jinn is anxious to return home, but Viola is terrified of wishing, afraid she will not wish for the right thing, the thing that will make her truly happy. As the two spend time together, the lines between master and servant begin to blur, and soon Jinn can't deny that he's falling for Viola. But it's only after Viola makes her first wish that she realizes she's in love with Jinn as well . . . and that if she wishes twice more, he will disappear from her life—and her world—forever.

Jackson Pearce spins a magical tale about star-crossed lovers, what it means to belong . . . and how important it is to be careful what you wish for.

We'll be chatting with Jackson Pearce TOMORROW night at 8:30 pm EST. We'll be posting the link tomorrow. In the mean time, please be sure to visit our forum here to talk about As You Wish

Happy Mundane Monday!! #4

Jace, "Do you remember back at the hotel when you promised that if we lived, you’d get dressed up in a nurse’s outfit and give me a sponge bath."

Clary, "It was Simon who promised you the sponge bath."

Simon, "As soon as I’m back on my feet, handsome."

Simon, Jace and Clary, making your Monday a bit better.
