Team Human's publication is really coming up fast... in a month and four days, on July 3rd, to be precise, and yes I might be counting the days...

This is just a post full of... STUFF. I have many things to tell and show you guys!

One such thing: the Charleston Young Adult Book Festival this weekend. I am going to it! I am very excited, you guys. It's Rhett Butler's home town, and I get to hang with people and talk about books. I do an interview for the festival here, in which I claim 'when ( Read more... )

Tomorrow I am getting on a plane to go to the Sirens convention in Colorado. Lady monsters, lovely guest authors, and gossip about books!
