I’m super excited to announce that I’ll be appearing at Borderlands Books in San Francisco on March 17th, in addition to my Not Your Mother’s Book Club event in Berkeley on March 14th!

Bay Area, I am all over you.

I don’t have a ton of details firmed up yet, including whether this is a solo event or whether I’ll have a hapless victim fellow author ( Read more... )

Actually, what I’m out of are media appearances.  I’m working on a guest blog right now, and after that, my folder is empty!

If you’d like to interview me or have me guest blog, I’m available, and since I have a book coming out at the end of August, I’m in promotion mode right now.  So if you’ve ever wanted to ask me questions about life, the ( Read more... )

I don’t want to be mysterious, but there’s so much going on right now book-wise-at least three possible major developments on three different fronts-that I can’t talk about, that I’m just going to forgo the usual update.

• First off-Japan.  The earthquake, tsunami and incipient nuclear disaster are all tragic, and there’s something you can do to help.  I spent a month in Japan, outside Kyoto, when I was a college student, and it remains one of the best 30-day spans of my life.

Well, the book is in the wild.  Now to sit back, relax and drink a nice umbrella drink while the sunshine of success rains down the vitamin D of bestsellerdom upon my visage.

Yeah, not exactly.  It’s a work day here at the casa, so I leave you with a review, an interview, annnnnnnnnnd…a final Iron Thorn teaser!

(And starting tomorrow, the blog will ( Read more... )

Tomorrow is the official release date for The Iron Thorn, so I’m posting another teaser-somebody told me that they checked B&N today and didn’t see the book, but it’ll definitely be there tomorrow, in a fancy display stand, no less.

To tide you over, Adventures in Children’s Publishing has an interview up with me and two other awesome YA debuts ( Read more... )

Today marks a week until the release of The Iron Thorn.  Are you excited?  I am.  If I giggle too much or throw up, please ignore it, ‘kay?  Thanks.  I knew we could all just pretend I’m staying classy, collected and composed.  (Oo, alliteration.)

I’ve been having a great time at Random Buzzers, answering questions and chatting with readers, and I ( Read more... )
