So…that happened. Publishing nightmares become real.

I guess enough time has passed that I’m ready to talk about what happened last week. You’ve all most likely heard the news, or read my FB or Twitter to know what that my publisher closed up shop very suddenly.

I got the call on Thursday afternoon, after what had already been a trying day. My agent texted me and said we needed to talk. About the book. She broke it to me gently, but it was still painful. Strange Chemistry and Exhibit A, the YA and mystery imprints of Angry Robot books, were cut....

Ah, the ups and downs of publishing

Hallo my freaky darlings!

It’s been a long month. Or two. I just looked and saw that the last time I posted was the end of April. Yikes! I know I said I’d give a video blog, but I haven’t had a chance to do it. Crazy!

Last month I spent three weekends in a row on the road, doing promotional stuff. It was all fun, but tiring when you have to return to a five-day-a-week full time job too. Especially when you just started said job. It was a rough start, but now we’re almost to summer and things ar...

But when her peaceful li...

Just a little update…

I know, it’s been like two weeks since I’ve said anything. There’s not much to say, but here’s a little video blog to keep you all apprised of everything that’s happening!

Publication Date Change!

I was just informed today that they’ve decided to change the release date forA Curse of Ash and Iron.It will now be released in SEPTEMBER 2014. The publisher has a very good reason for the change, and though I know some of you were looking forward to July, it’s only two more months. Not so long.

I’m totally not upset by this. It allows me a bit of breathing room for promo and to set up book tours and gives me a summer to really make it special. Time for reviewers to really get a look at it. Tw...

Hallo and a BIG Thanks!

I haven’t made a video blog in awhile. I thought though, with the BIG announcement, that it would be a good time to take them up again. So I made this one to just say HI! to all the new people and to give a big ‘in-person’ THANK YOU to all the people who made my press release day so special.

So here is is!

The BIG…HUGE…GINORMOUS Announcement!

At long last I can FINALLY tell you. I’ve known about this for nearly TWO months, but because things needed to be coordinated, and the holidays happened, it’s had to wait until now.

Are you ready?

Sure?

No, really. Are you ready??

Wait, is that the phone I hear ringing…..

……..

Oh, okay fine.
