And through it all her BFF Leah has stood inside those lines and weathered the unspeakable with her. Then Bridget catches her boyfriend with Leah–and the last thing on her mind is staying safe. Salvation… A bad boy and his jacked up pickup. Jake {Read More}

WRECKLESS – Cover Reveal
June 10, 2013 by 8 Comments
I’ve been dying to show this thing off all week. It gave me goosebumps the first time I saw it and when my paper ARC came I just kept patting the cover…. sooooo pretty. But, it was really different than what I’d had in mind. People talk about how you have all this control when you go indie, but in some ways, I feel like it’s really a practice in relinquishing control. I am not a pre-visual person. Show me a {Read More}
WRECKLESS ~ Jake Moore
June 7, 2013 by Leave a Comment
I managed to nail down Jake Moore, the guy Bridget meets during her Night of Rebellion (that’s so much more exciting with caps, isn’t it?) and get him to answer some of my… well, someone’s questions. I have to admit, he was a really good sport about it. ~~*~~ Bria: Hi, Jake. Thanks for stopping by. JAKE: Um… No problem. BRIA: So, I have some questions here from a reader, Valerie Cole. She wants to know first off, what do you {Read More}
WRECKLESS – Chapter One
June 6, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Chapter One “Are you calling me a liar?” The whole situation was unbelievable. You’d think having spent years trying to be the perfect daughter would grant me the benefit of the doubt in a sticky situation. I don’t mean years spent convincing people you’re the perfect daughter. I mean working pretty darn hard to be as good a daughter as you could possibly be. Mama cocked an eyebrow at me as if she could bring herself to say, Yes, {Read More}
Secret Identity – Or, Other Names To Write Stuff Under
June 3, 2013 by 13 Comments
Once upon a time there was a YA Writer named Bria Quinlan who decided it would be fun to write some funny, light-hearted rom coms as a break from her YA… Not that she didn’t love her YAs, but sometimes a girl wants to write something a little different. And so she did. And so she published one under the name Caitie Quinn. And it did fairly well… people seemed to like it. The more people who liked it, the {Read More}
So, this happened….

I’ve been asked several times how I got on there. I have no idea. I’ve never submitted for a review or bought an ad so the idea that RT would even know my little stories exist is AMAZING. Super amazing.
Welcome to the New Site!

A brand new home! Here it is. And just like any time you move, you cute it up for the party knowing there’s still work to do. Of course I’ll still be talking about what I’m seeing and learning as a low-indie-on-the-totem-pole but I’ll also be sharing more about writing as two personalities… and maybe *caitie’s life spoiler alerts* making an announcement next week about those two personalities 😉 So, what do you think of the new site – Now’s {Read More}
Stop Making It A Big Deal
May 3, 2013 by 4 Comments
Every week A Writer comes forward on some blog or news site to talk about how they’ve been won over! Going Indie is not evil! In fact, they think everyone should look into going indie or hybrid or some version of self-publishing perhaps on their blog with shorts or serials! The problem is, like any time you have a “I’m okay with it” topic –> you know everyone’s not okay with it if people have to keep telling you HOW {Read More}
Favorite Goodreads Misunderstanding… EVER
May 2, 2013 by Leave a Comment
I know Goodreads is a hot discussion topic all around. Everyone feels strongly about how to use it. Do you chat with reviewers? Do you even read your reviews? A friend of mine has teenagers (trust me, this is going somewhere.) She once said that their rooms were like this magical place that while, somehow being INSIDE the house, aren’t really part of the house. That’s how I’ve typically treated reviews. I know when I used to write reviews, I {Read More}
