Avery Pirzwick on Inside the Character's Studio!

I am a sucker for superheroes. It's true. Batman, Spiderman, Wolverine, heck...I even like Aquaman...and all he can do is talk to fish. So, it should come as no surprise that I am 100% in love with Avery Pirzwick, the star of Sarah Cross's Dull Boy. And I'm SUPER excited to host Avery here on the blog today.

What do you do if you can deadlift a car, and you spend your nights flying to get away from it all? If youare fifteen-year-old Avery Pirzwick, you keep that information to yourself. When

Spot The Season Photo Contest! Awesome Prize!

Ok, y'all...back in February when The Season began to appear in the wild, dozens of you guys started sending in photos of the book in its natural habitat...bookstores, libraries, chillin' with cats...

and i LOVED it.

Loved it loved it loved it! I started putting all those photos on a map...which lives in my sidebar, and I would go home everyday and irritate my husband by showing him the newest awesome photos of the day!

But then...you stopped sending them. so...suffice to say...i got sad. :(

Anna Reiley on Inside the Character's Studio!

Ok...it's no secret that I have a major friend crush on the fabulous Sarah Ockler. We've got some weird cosmic similarities that are seriously freaky-deaky. First, we're both named Sarah. Second, Sarah's husband grew up literally across the street from where my parents lived when they first moved to the US in Flushing, Queens, NYC. How did we discover this? Sarah actually *recognized* the spot where this photo was taken. While she was reading my blog. Which brings me eerie similarity #3--we

On my turntable...

Ok, I lie. I don't have a turntable. Eric does, but I am not allowed to use it. Ok, that's a lie, too. I'm sure that if I wanted to play a record he would allow me access to the little black square that sits in his office...assuming it's not a Barenaked Ladies record. That's where he draws the line.

But admit, you liked the idea that I had a turntable. And then you liked the idea that Eric holds sway over the use of vinyl in my house.

I digress. This is a post about the music that I am in

Oh. My. Holmes. Yes, Please!

All i want for Christmas is Robert Downey Jr. in period costume. And...oh look! Santa is bringing him!





Are you kidding me? I cannot WAIT!!!
What are the odds my parents would forgive me for leaving the house on Christmas Day to see this?[image error]

Wrenn Scott on Inside the Characters' Studio!

Today, I'm happy to announce that Wrenn Scott, the star of Leigh Brescia's's One Wish. Ok, let's start with how much I judge this book by its cover. And I judge it as AWESOME. But then I met Wrenn (and Leigh) and I judge it also by its author and main character. That's acceptable, right?

Overweight Wrenn Scott desperately wants to be popular and snag a hot boyfriend. Her amazing voice (for once) overshadows her weight when she lands a lead role in the high school musical. Pushing to get thinn

This day in history...not at all DULL.

Today is a very special day. Very. Special. No, dear readers...not because it is the 134th day of the year. No, not because, on this day in 1804, Lewis and Clark began their expedition. No, not even because it's the feast day of St. Boniface of Tarsus. (Although I know we're all putting our party hats on for that last one)

Today is special because it is the launch date of Sarah Cross's DULL BOY--which I have been rather vocally in love with for a while.

"Who is this DULL BOY of which you spe

BEA Update! Mark Those Calendars!

I'll have more info on my Book Expo shenanigans next week, I hope, but I just wanted to put myself on your calendars!

I'll be signing at Table #2 at the BEA Autographing Area on Friday, May 29 from 10 - 10:30am! This is during the "Romance Salute," which sounds awesome...I'm not a little bit sorry that I can't go stalk the other Romance Authors on the list!

But I shall persevere...and hopefully see you all there![image error]

Ai Ling on Inside the Characters' Studio!

This week, we have a special Double Edition of Inside the Characters' Studio!

Today, I'm happy to announce that Ai Ling, the awesome star of Cindy Pon's's Silver Phoenix. Ai Ling is amazing. She's beautiful, brilliant and buff. Do not mess with her. She will take you down. No joke.

On the day of her first betrothal meeting--and rejection--Ai Ling discovers a power welling deep within her. She can reach into other people’s spirits, hear their thoughts, see their dreams…and that’s just the begi
