The Friday Five!
1. Okay, seriously: it will NOT STOP raining here. I can’t remember such a soggy summer in, well, EVER. The ground is saturated, the sun has gone totally MIA, and all my tomatoes are getting moldy. Honestly! On the upside (always look for the upside!) we are getting a lot of use out of our rainboots while jumping in puddles. It helps that our entire YARD is a puddle, for the most part. Makes the jumping so much easier when you can, you know, basically just walk and make it happen. Most summer...

The Friday Five!
…will return next week. Have a great holiday weekend, everyone! (Now, I’ll be getting back into the inflatable giraffe pool I got my kid this morning to eat chocolate pudding pie out of the tin. I wish I was joking. Actually, I don’t.) See you next week!

The Friday Five!
1. Okay, so yet again I appear to be cheating and starting this Five on Thursday. Whoops. But I’m in the airport, about to head to Chicago, and I have time….so there you go. Plus I KNOW tomorrow I will be super busy at the ALA 2013 conference, where I am participating in two panels tomorrow, one of which is actually about blogging. So this is research! See? It works. Speaking of ALA, if you are also attending, here’s where you can find me: (as I am posting this actually on Friday, I’ll cut wh...

The Friday Five!
1. Today is the first OFFICIAL day of summer, as well as the longest day of the year. It’s like it was made JUST for a summer loving girl like myself. (Yeah, it’s all about me, even the seasons. I kid!) Despite the long day today, I feel like the summer is already speeding past me in a blur. The early part of this month was all about touring, and the time since trying to get rested up. Next week I have a bookstore event and ALA 2013 in Chicago, then I’m officially done with work stuff, at lea...

The Friday Five!
1. Whew. That’s all I can say on this particular Friday. Oh, wait, I can also say this: THANK YOU SO MUCH! Because of all the support from you guys, the readers, THE MOON AND MORE will hit the New York Times Bestseller list at #3. HOORAY! The list is REALLY hard to make these days so it means even more than ever before that I got a spot there. My cup runneth over. Seriously. It just keeps hitting me as I’m walking around and I get all wobbly. Although that MAY be the fact that I am still tota...

The Friday Five!
1. Okay, so this has been SUCH a wild week I didn’t event GET this Five before now, Saturday morning. I don’t even know where to begin. I did my local kickoff fo THE MOON AND MORE on Monday evening at the Regulator in Durham, the book was released the next day AND I also hit the road. Whew! I’m actually writing this from the airport Saturday morning, waiting to catch a flight to Boise. Then it’s two dates in the San Francisco area and HOME. But for now, a recap. First, of course, there was my...

OH MY GOODNESS.
Okay, so you all know this day was already big for me. Like, HUGE big. But then this happened. I so wanted to tell you guys about it, but I was scared to jinx it. I’m sure you can only imagine how totally crazy psyched I was (and am). Life’s dream achieved!
Okay, now onto my DC appearance in two hours. Pub day goes on!!!
It’s here!
THE MOON AND MORE is now available wherever books are sold! I’m so excited. And nervous. But mostly excited. Or nervous.
Today, I leave for DC and the beginning of the book tour. You can get a full listing of events and times here. Many of the events are ticketed, so be sure to check with the bookstores before you go!
I had a GREAT event at the Regulator Bookshop in Durham last night. Despite a total downpour, a ton of folks came out, and I had a lot of friends and family there as well. It was...

The Friday Five!
1. I’m starting this Five on Thursday morning, as I am en route to the airport. I’m going to New York for BookExpo America, the big publishing convention that is always tons of fun. And hectic. Which is why I think tomorrow, when I am scheduled basically from 10am until I go to bed, will NOT be the ideal time to be trying to blog. Just a hunch. Once I get to NYC today, I’m going to a fancy party (thrown by People magazine, OMG, regular readers KNOW how excited/nervous/insanely neurotic I am t...

The Friday Five!
1.Okay, people: my pub date is getting SERIOUSLY close. In fact, this time next week I’ll be at BEA in New York, having already done this amazing event that I still can’t believe I am a part of:
If there is a JPEG image, it must be really happening, right? So that’s Thursday night. Friday I’m running around and have a big party thrown by my publisher, and then Saturday it is off to the Javits Center to sign books. (If you are attending BEA, I’ll be in the autographing area at Table 5 from 10-1...
