Come see me! ParkerFest

  Parker Library and the Colorado Author Series will bring local authors to ParkerFest every Sunday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., through September. I'm the featured author this Sunday (8/30) and I'd love for you to come by and visit! In addition to me, there's a great farmer's and merchant market and the day's entertainment is Art in the Park, celtic dancers and celtic music by the Indulgers. All this fun is right on Main Street in old towne Parker, just across the street from the Parker Library. Book tal

Holy cow! I won.

Last night I signed onto Twitter and, by sheer luck, happened upon someone doing live tweets at the FF&P Prism awards. To my utter astonishment Sleepless won the YA category. I was so bummed not to be at National this year, but seeing the results roll live on my computer was nearly just as fun. Today I wondered if it was really true and then this stunning award showed up. 



Isn't it gorgeous?!?

Big thanks to the folks at FF&P.

And the winner is.....!

Thanks to all who entered my contest. What a fun way to celebrate my Prism nomination. Without further delay, my handy dandy custom random number generator  has picked Cheryl S. as the winner. Congratulations, Cheryl! Please email me at TerriClarkBooks at aol dot com with your full name and address and I'll get those books mailed out to you.

Random Coolness

Sleepless is available in library binding and I just got my hardcover copy. It's so cool! It's available on Kindle too, but I don't have one of those gadgets yet.

I also got an awesome review from That One Girl Emily.

Review: The first thing I'm going to say is the cover for this book SUCKS. It has nothing to do with the book. At all. It looks all fluffy and chick-lit-ish right? WRONG. Okay so maybe its pajamas, which sort of has to do with the book, but other than that, totallllyyyy wrong.

My library on the news!

Yay! This is my library on the news. Just a reminder to everyone, no matter where you live, check out your library for great summer reading programs for babies, kids, teens and adults.

Interview

The adorable Nisha Sharma was kind enough to interview me on her blog. I hope you'll stop by and check it out. Warning: I was under the influence of Percocet so any errors can be attributed to post-sinus surgery meds. :)

Good News!

I'm so excited to announce that SLEEPLESS is a YA finalist in the Fantasy, Futuristic and Paranormal's Prism contest! And I must confess to some fangirl giddiness because I'm up against one of my fave authors/series.

Young Adult
Cave of Terror by Amber Dawn Bell

CHOSEN: A House of Night Novel by P.C. Cast

Sleepless by Terri Clark

Dude, P.C. Cast! Can you believe that? I haven't read Amber's book yet, but I certainly will. The winner will be announced at National. I just hate that I can't make it

Teen Summer Reading Program

Hi  all - I'm gearing up for the Teen Summer Reading Program at my library (I'm a teen librarian) and I would love, love, love to offer the kids some autographed YA books as prizes for our Readathon and for other events througout the summer. If you can spare a copy, I would be most appreciative. I'd also love any bookmarks (or other promo doodads) you wouldn't mind sharing. I can't keep bookmarks in stock in our teen area.  

If you're interested, please email me at TerriClarkBooks@aol.com and I'l

New Release!

Tomorrow is May 5th, which is turning out to be a significant date for me. Last year on that date Breaking Up is Hard to Do was released. I completely adore this anthology! One, because I had an absolute blast writing Don't Mind Me and two, because I got to put this book together with Lynda Sandoval, Niki Burnham and Ellen Hopkins. If you haven't checked out our fun, funny and empowering stories of overcoming break-ups, I hope you will.

Strangely, but very cooly, I have another book coming out w
