Holly Black's Blog
December 10, 2009
The Witchy Chicks blog, run by Yasmine Ganelorn (who is one of the nicest people online, as well as being a wonderful author of paranormal romance) and nine other writers, kindly allowed me to guest blog.
Here's the first part, come over to their blog to read the rest:
This summer, I had the opportunity to teach several classes on writing to both teenagers and adults. When I started, I felt pretty unsteady. Writing is an odd thing to try and teach -- mostly, I feel, you can talk about your...

Allow me to present the US cover of WHITE CAT:

From the flap copy:
Cassel comes from a family of curse workers—people who have the power to change your emotions, your memories, your luck, by the slightest touch of their hands. And since curse work is illegal, they're all criminals. Many become mobsters and con artists. But not Cassel. He hasn't got magic, so he's an outsider, the straight kid in a crooked family. You just have to ignore one small detail—he killed his best friend, Lila, three ye...

Hope you are having a fabulous night. I am newly back from Mexico and in no mood to do anything but sleep, but I trust out there you are partying such to raise the dead.
Now to sprawl on my couch like a corpse.

I have been home for a week, running around trying to finish White Cat copyedits and clean my clothes for the second leg of the Spiderwick tour. Soon I better repack my suitcase.
We are also dog sitting. Or, well, what passes for dog sitting around here. My favorite part of this picture is the ominous rubbery cat in the background.

And here is me, writing the acknowledgements to White Cat with the mysterious white cat on my armchair. Yes, I look apocalyptically tired. I am.

I will be in Canada, talking about my teen books with Scott Westerfeld and Cassandra Clare. Good Neighbors 2: Kith should be out by the time of these appearances and, of course, I will sign anything (even Scott & Cassie's books--my research for White Cat has increased my forgery abilities):

The White Cat introduces Holly Black's new world! Cassel has always known he killed Lila, but now the pieces are starting not to fit.
Well, it's not wrong, but uh, it seems kind of random. Also, exclamation pointy.

I am bringing a White Cat-related thingie with me on Spiderwick tour and it can be yours just for asking - at least so long as supplies last.
All you have to do is come up during any of the September Spiderwick events and say: "Do you have a thingie for me?" I will immediately fork it over.
So, if you're coming out, don't forget to ask!
Event dates and locations here.
