New covers, new books, new website!

I've got a lot new things happening right now. At the end of June I'm celebrating 8 years of being an author. Last year to celebrate, I released a second body-swap book and changed the cover on the first one. I'm working on a third body-swapper, but I've had to push its release to September. I still want to celebrate though, so I have all new covers...again!

You'll also notice that I named the series. The Swapped Lives series is all about young people who switch bodies with other young people. If you haven't read them yet, you'll find a lot of the same things I've got in my other books–sports, coming-of-age themes, overcoming obstacles, achieving big dreams, and romance. And of course, like all my other books these ones are clean reads, and they're perfect for middle grade and up.

Update on my 20 books in 2020 goal: With two pre-orders up right now, I'm currently at a grand total of 16. I might actually make it. Wish me luck! Check out To Earth and Back and Summer on Semerde on Amazon.

More news: I have a new website!! My author brand was starting to get too big for this blog, so I've moved all information about me to the new site. I'll still keep blogging, so you'll also be able to find my blog there, as well as all my books, my coming soon books, and a contact form. Check it out: https://natasjaeby.wixsite.com/natasjaeby.

Last little piece of information: some of you may know that I share a newsletter with three other amazing indie authors. We call ourselves the Indie Wordsmiths and we recently made a video together introducing ourselves. Check it out!

Happy reading!

Goals and Resolutions

We're halfway through 2019 so I'm reflecting on the resolutions I made. For anyone wondering, here they are:

1. Two books to finish writing.
2. Publish at least two books this year. (I say at least, because I think I can squeeze out three, but I'm not sure.)
3. Finish editing that series!

 To recap, here's what I've actually done so far this year...

1. Goal complete! I've actually written two books and a novella and I'm halfway through another book. Two of these books I didn't even know I was going to write.
2. Goal complete! Standup Guy was released in February and My Brother's Best Friend/Learning to Sing Like a Girl was just published this June. However, I still have plans for at least one more book and a novella.
3. Ah....the series. The sci-fi one. I'm still working on that. It's been pushed aside a little as I work on my Knockout Girl series, but I've had several requests for when I'm going to get around to publishing it. Some day! But probably not until next year.


I'd say I'm doing pretty well this year. Looks like I'll have to give myself harder goals for 2020.

Happy reading!!

News - My Brother's Best Friend is now live!

Back in April, I promised I'd have a new book available to commemorate the 7th anniversary of My Best Friend's Brother/The Summer I Turned into a Girl. I was aiming for June 29, but I'm pleased to say that it's already available! My Brother's Best Friend/Learning to Sing Like a Girl is now live on Amazon! You can get it in ebook or paperback, or borrow it from Kindle Unlimited.

A little bit about the book:

It’s been almost four years since Colin and Jess’ weird body swap, but they hardly think about it anymore. They’re happier than they ever were, even though Colin’s graduating while Jess has one more year of high school.

Ian and Cassidy, on the other hand, can’t stand each other. Once an inseparable couple, they were scorned by unspoken differences between them. Then one day, they butt heads and find themselves inhabiting each other’s bodies. The worst part? Ian’s got a huge soccer game coming up that could get him a good scholarship and Cassidy’s got an audition for the lead in a musical. How will they switch back before then?

Here's what people* are already saying about it:

"Cute!" 

"A Masterpiece!"

"Please never stop writing, you're the next Shakespeare!"

"I really like this!" 

Thank you to all the wonderful people who helped me through this process! Also, huge shout-out to the body-swapping/gender-swapping fandom. I literally wrote this book for you. Like, actually, this book is dedicated to you.

Happy reading, and don't forget to check back on news about The B-Boy!

News - My Brother's Best Friend

Hey all! So earlier this month, I re-released My Best Friend's Brother/The Summer I Turned into a Girl with a brand new cover and a ton of new edits. I also left you with the first chapter of a sequel that I really hope you guys will enjoy as much as you enjoyed MBFB. 

In two months from today (June 29), I'll be celebrating the 7th anniversary of MBFB and consequently my 7th year as a published author. I figured, what better day to release the sequel! I'm going to give you a first look at the cover and a working blurb, so you know what you're in for. Cheers!

My Brother's Best Friend/Learning to Sing Like a Girl

It's been almost four years since Colin and Jess' weird body swap, but they hardly think about it anymore. They're happier than they ever were, even though Colin's graduating soon while Jess has one more year of high school.

Ian and Cassidy, on the other hand, can't stand each other. Once an inseparable couple, they were scorned by unspoken differences between them. Then one day, they butt heads—literally—and find themselves inhabiting each other's bodies. The worst part? Ian's got a huge soccer game coming up that could get him a good scholarship and Cassidy's got an audition for the lead in a musical. How will they switch back before then? 

Hope you guys enjoy this one as much as the last!
