Four Year Publiversary & Sound of Silence is Out Now!

Yesterday was my FOUR YEAR Publiversary. 

I can't believe it.

I've been doing this for four years. It seems like it's only been a month and at the same time, it feels like a lifetime.

Sound of Silence, which I wrote with Mia Kerick, is out right now, too -- and it seems to be doing really well! I'm honored and humbled by this fact.

Of course, when you create something, you HOPE that people will like it. And when you create with a co-author, you double hope. You hope you've held up your end, that people will enjoy both parts, that readers will take something good from your words. Writing Renzy to Mia's Seven was an absolute delight.

Thank you for reading it. Thank you for enjoying it!

Humbled, guys.

Honored.

Truly.

Thank you for making this possible--over the last four years, I've been able to experience something I only dreamed about as a child. Publication.

It's had its ups and its downs and everything in between. But the experience has been worth it!

Now, without further ado, Sound of Silence.

High school senior Renzy Callen hasn’t uttered a word in years. He likes being invisible to all around him; it keeps life safe and predictable. In his attic bedroom, he experiences a world far from the drama of his family. He doodles, listens to music, and contemplates the troubled souls he observes when attending self-help meetings designed for people with problems he doesn’t have. Renzy lives his life like a spectator, always on the outside of life’s games, looking in at others.

Everything changes when Seven and Morning Moreau-Maddox relocate from their glitzy lives in Paris to boring, picturesque Redcliff Hills, Missouri. Tall, platinum blond, and as put-together as a pair of European high-fashion models, the sophisticated siblings befriend Renzy, drawing him in and then pushing him away. What starts as nothing more than a means to an end for Seven, however, quickly becomes something more. Could icy-hearted Seven be thawing for the silent, quirky charm of Renzy Callen?

Coming Soon: Sound of Silence

My goodness it's been a while!

This update will be brief-- but I wanted to let you know that I'm still here and kickin'! (Some days kickin' more than others.)

So what's up in the world of O'Tierney?

I'm currently entering the editing phase of a YA novel called Sound of Silence, written with the very talented Ms. Mia Kerick. This title is slated for release in 2018 from Harmony Ink Press!

Renzy Callen exists on the periphery of life, and not just because of the horrific childhood event that robbed him of the ability to speak. Walling himself off from the rest of the world as a means of protection, he occupies his time with art and music and an obsession with self-help groups—whether he needs them or not. His isolation protects him and he’s immune to drama and emotional games… or so he believes. Everything changes when he meets Seven and Morning Moreaux-Maddox, the wealthy, jet-setting siblings who move from a life of sophistication in Europe to humdrum Redcliff Hills, Missouri.

Both Seven and his sister are impossibly beautiful and elegant, like the stars in magazines or high-fashion models on the runway. When Renzy is pulled into their push-and-pull of affection and rejection, he realizes there is more to both haunted Morning and cold, diamond-sharp Seven than meets the eye.

 The three teens embark on a quest to learn the reason behind Renzy’s selective mutism, and something more than friendship blossoms between Renzy and Seven. It’s during this trip of a lifetime that the three realize the truth they seek might be found in the sound of silence.

This was my first time collaborating on a YA novel and Mia was a blast to work with! I can't wait for you guys to see our finished product.

(Meanwhile, I'm EAGERLY awaiting the cover!)

Thank you so much, wonderful readers, for supporting me always.

With Kindness,
