For Halloween I am dressing up as an extrovert.

Yes, that's me, speaking to a local high school creative writing class a few weeks ago (thanks to Annalisa the Awesome Librarian for the pic). I was talking about NaNoWriMo , how I won it last year, and how I will proceed to do the same this year. (Hint: Brag to everyone that you're going to win!) Have you signed up yet?

Book blogger Persnickety Snark, who has always been kind to me (not every author is lucky enough to have her books called "the YA version of crack," you know), has posted a new interview with me about The Ex Games .

Because I am All That

Hey, remember when I told you that the city of Birmingham was holding a parade for me?

However, you and I know that I totally deserve a parade. And now I'm getting the next best thing. The Undercover Book Lover has declared it Jennifer Echols Week, complete with Jennifer Echols Mega Contest in which I will give away one copy of each of my books.
