Thursday links
Before I get to the links, don't forget don't forget the salad dressing/Shade contest (yes, for real--you know how I am!!)
Okay, now on to the links:
From agent Jessica Faust, the perils of lying to an agent and resubmitting substantially reworked query letters
Pimp My Novel on best-seller lists and the mysteries of how they are created (I don't know about you, but for some of them, I feel like it really should be "created"!)
Agent Jenny Bent on confidence--and Donald Trump (!)
For those of you wr...

Interview with Jeri Smith-Ready--and win a copy of SHADE!
The Girlfriends' Cyber Circuit (GCC) is a webring of YA novelists, and I'm happy to be part of it because I get to talk to other YA authors about their books--which, well, how awesome is that? (And I think we all know how much I love YA!)
Today, I'm talking with Jeri Smith-Ready about her new novel, Shade
Me: Tell us about your book in ten words or less!
Jeri: Passion, mystery, music, ghosts, starry nights, and cute guys. (Me: OOOOH!)
Me: What's the best writing advice you've ever been given?

thank you, blog tour, and shoes!
Still no voice, but that didn't stop the twitter chat last night--thank you all *so* much for coming, and for your great questions!
While doing the chat, I realized how many of you are interested in Grace, which is super-humbling and awesome!
So, I'm going to do an ARC blog tour for Grace because I don't have very many ARCs (two, actually)
If you'd be interested in reading and reviewing Grace for your blog please email me with your blog info--addy and stats (if you have stats)
Here's how the to...

good thing tonight's chat is on twitter!
TONIGHT!:
Well, I'd love to tell you how the Geek Fest went, except for two things--I didn't go, and I can't talk.
That's right. I came back from NJLA feeling a little wonky, but I just figured it was because I've been working really hard lately and tend to get headaches when I'm stressed and not sleeping enough.
But then, on Thursday, my throat started to hurt. A lot.
"At least I'm not coughing!" I said, and drank a lot of water.
Well, you can guess what happened next. By Thursday night, I was...

Love You Hate You Miss You--out in paperback today!
Love You Hate You Miss You is out in paperback this week and yes, it should finally--finally!--be available at your favorite local bookstore.
I know the book was pretty much impossible to find within a few months of it coming out last year, and I admit, that broke my heart. Although Love You Hate You Miss You wasn't published until last year, it was actually one of the first two novels I ever sold (and the third one I ever wrote). It also is one of only two novels I've ever written where I cr...

packing! and links
I'm packing for NJLA tomorrow (yay!) but I'm also thinking about packing for my trip to Gadsen for the Geek Fest this weekend. Looks like I'll have to check the bag with my clothes in it, as my purse and laptop equal the two carry-on bags I'm allowed.
Okay, before I go back to packing (and working on my copy edits, just in case my editor peeks in!!) I've got some links:
Author Laini Taylor offers her thoughts on plot (it's a three part series, and here is part two and part three)
Agent Jessica F...
