Good news! Also, maybe bad news! (Please don't hit me.)
Many of you delightful creatures have asked me when the next Sam book is coming out, and I've been giving you non-answers, because I couldn't really say anything...but now I have news! Just maybe not the news you wanted! Don't think to hard about what I just said! Just go with the "!" and say, "Yay!"
I can now happily announce that I am going back under contract with Henry Holt for another two books. This pleases me greatly because I've had a good time with them and my editor, Noa, is pure awesomesauce concentrate.
Want even more good news? Yeah? Okay! Ready? Are you sure?!?

Cutting Yourself Some Slack
This morning as we were wrapping up an ornament that my son made for his teacher, we had this conversation:
Son: You know what I don't get about art?
Me: What?
Son: Some people will look at it and they'll really like it, but then the person who made it will look at it and they won't think it's very good.
Me: Well, I think that has more to do with the artist than the art.
And then I think he ran off to play with his legos for a few minutes.

Blog Tour of Blogginess!
For the next two weeks, I'll be blogging it up on other pages. Yes, I know, I am terrible at keeping up my own blog, and yet, I'm posting on others. Let's all just enjoy the twisted humor in that and move on.
Here we go! Follow the link to all of your blog post dreams.

Contest Entries! (Finally)
I am often an odd combination of extremly busy and extremely lazy. It's fun. You should try it.

Contest Winners!
So...I made this a lot more work for myself than I should have. And I set the announcement of the winners on Memorial Day weekend, which also happens to be the birthday of my kiddo...which means I am waaaaaay late posting this. My apologies, but really, what are writers known for if not for missing deadlines?

Contest! For Things!
Spring is in the air--the birds are chirping, the sun is...not shining*, and my allergies are officially driving me bonkers. Do you know what that means, Interweb friends? Contest time! Are you excited? I know I am.

Library: Just Add Books & Stir
So. Libraries. I like them. You should too. Why? They have books there. And you can read them. For free.

The Shiny Box and Explanations
The other day many of you sent me lovely messages congratulating me on my sale of the option rights for HMC,N. (Thank you, by the way.) A few of you were unsure about the validity of the announcement since it didn't come from me, and still others wondered why I hadn't made the announcement myself. Oh, my darling readers, how little you understand how these things work. As the writer and creator I AM THE LAST TO KNOW THINGS OF ANY IMPORTANCE. I'm being a little hyperbolic, but not as much as you think.

My Friends And How They Rock Multi-post!
So...it's been awhile since we've talked. You look nice--did you cut your hair? Lose weight? It shows. You look lovely, friends. It's a shame that we've let so much time go between our little chats.
Anyway, welcome to my multi-post! It's more awesome than a regular post! Because there are more things in it! You can tell it's exciting because I've already used SO MANY EXCLIMATION POINTS.
