The day I've been dreaming about for so long is finally here. Until Dawn: Last Light is now available on Amazon!

I was asked today by numerous followers and readers if I was excited about the release of my first full-length novel. Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely excited for the big release, but it's still a little surreal. I've been racing toward this dream for a long time, it's just hard to believe that I'm already here. I guess the dream never really ends, though. On to the next book in the Until Dawn series, Into the Dark, which will be release in 2012. I'll have more on that at a later date.

I wanted to throw out a big THANK YOU to all of my readers and followers who have been so kind as to retweet, praise and review Last Light. The number of kind messages that I've received so far today has been so great. You are all so encouraging and uplifting! I feel beyond blessed right now.

If you're looking for a new book to add to your collection, please feel free to download the free sample from Amazon for Until Dawn: Last Light, available now! I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Here are what some readers are already saying about the book:

"This riveting page turner invaded my thoughts and emotions from the moment I picked it up! I did NOT want it to end! Each chapter left me on the edge of my seat, wanting more. One of the things I loved most about this book is the fact that the underlying spiritual tones are still there, but they are presented in such a way that anyone can dive into it and immediately become immersed in Zoe's world. It goes without saying that I can't wait for the sequel, because if it's anything like this first one, I'll probably devour it all in one night, and then curse myself for not making it last longer. Until Dawn will not disappoint!"

"Until Dawn: Last Light is a whirlwind story that transports you to another place, and makes you wish you could stay there. I became enraptured with Zoe, her friends, and her enemies right off the bat. As you get to know them, they invite you to struggle with them, laugh with them,and share in their victories and pain. Zoe's world only exists in our imaginations, but somehow she manages to reach out and touch my everyday thoughts, hopes, and dreams. The bottom line, is that when I started reading, I simply could not stop. I dare you to try, but good luck, because once Zoe introduces herself to you, you won't ever want to say goodbye."

"Jennifer Simas does a wonderful job of telling this story, keeping the reader in suspense. She does a fantastic job of giving flashbacks with the perfect amount of information without revealing too much insight too early. Until Dawn will keep you reading all night!!!"

"Fans of The Twilight Saga will go crazy for Until Dawn: Last Light!"

If you've read Until Dawn: Last Light, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Amazon reviews are always appreciated. Thanks again, everyone!!!

We're going on an adventure! A Review of LIGHTNING OF HER OWN


When the aliens landed seventy-two years ago,
the first thing they did was turn off the power.

Then they ran for the hills.


The aliens themselves killed very few people, but riots, looting, disease, natural disasters and the sheer brutality of a harsh life that no one had lived in generations have reduced the population of Earth to a few tiny handfuls, scattered among the abandoned ruins of a lost civilization. Now word has come to Amarylla’s father, the chief civil engineer of the Federal Republic of New York, that an unknown man in the far northern plains may hold the key to turning the lights back on.

But the Amarylla who sets out with her father to find this mysterious man is a young girl whose life has been filled with operas and riding lessons and needlework, a young girl schooled only in the history of fashion and the proper navigation of knives and forks at a state diner. A young girl totally unprepared for the raw edges of life beyond the walls, totally unprepared for the closeness of a young guard named Marlowe.

Can she become what she needs to be? Can she learn what she needs to know? Can she grow up in time, or will this alien dystopia kill her?

Enthralling! The journey of a lifetime! Grab your baby gun, we’re going on an adventure!

Once you pick up Levi Montgomery’s LIGHTNING OF HER OWN, you will become mesmerized with Amarylla’s story. Set in a post-apocalyptic, alien dystopia, this is a story of growing up, a story of survival, a story of love.

You will be awestruck by Montgomery’s amazing world creating ability, and his story will leave you completely breathless! It is truly an adventure of a lifetime that is guaranteed to steal your heart.

I’d have to say that my favorite element of this book is its characters. They are so real, so vivid; you will be fully engulfed in their world from the very first page. Never before have I read a book whose main character touched me so much; who inspired me to be a stronger person. Amarylla, a young sixteen year old girl, heading out into a world of death and despair with bags packed full with lace things and teddy bears. For someone so young and sheltered to realize who and what she needed to become to accomplish her mission. That is true survival, true courage.

If you’re looking for a book that will keep you on your toes, this is it. On more than one occasion, I forgot to breathe. That’s the type of book this is, one that keeps you guessing, never knowing what’s around the next bend. I dare you to try to look at a splinter the same way again! If you are anything like me, by the time you reach the end, you will have laughed with, cried with, and fallen in love with these amazing characters. I never wanted the story to end. This is a definite must read for anyone looking for a good book. I’m sure the adventure it will take you on won’t disappoint!

This amazing book is available now! This is not one to be missed!
