Honored
I'm at the airport in San Diego, waiting to board my flight to Dallas. My part on the Smart Chicks tour is over, and I am sad. I didn't take many pictures, because Vania, the official tour photographer seemed to have that covered, and i hope to be able to post some of her pics soon. But for now, you can see them on Twitter, by following @reveriebr or @smartchickstour or just about any of the other touring authors, including me.

On the road again...
I'm in my hotel room in LA and I have to say, I'm feeling really peaceful. I have the next few hours to work on IF I DIE, with room service coffee and perfect silence. I'm gonna get stuff done. Then this afternoon, I'm going shopping with the Smart Chicks before tonight's event at Vroman's. Then tomorrow, San Diego!
Last night I had a blast with some of the other (very funny) smart chicks. We got dinner, checked out Vroman's outdoor venue, and goofed off in Target, shopping for incidentals.

Winner; blog tour
Sorry for my recent absence. I am absolutely snowed under with work. All at once, I am trying to finish IF I DIE, do copy edits on "Reaper," do revisions on "Neiderwald" (my story in the Smart Chicks antho), keep up with the Alpha blog tour, and get ready for my trip to CA next week for my last two stops on the Smart Chicks tour.
On top of that, I've also been writing bonus content for my website and the back of the UK edition of the Soul Screamers books and brainstorming cover stuff for the f...

My 1st tour stop! [Edited]
Edit: for pics, check out my Deadline Dames post from today.
Wow, last night's Smart Chicks event in Houston was crazy awesome! The final count was around 400 (at least, that's what they told me) and after the Q&A, giveaways, and Holly Black's lightening round, we signed books until after 11pm.
And yes, I stood on a table, in case you've seen the pictures online. But I wasn't the only one. Melissa, Holly, and Margie also stood on tables--I was just the first to cave to the impulse. :) And that ...

Hey Houston!!!
Tonight I'm in Houston for the second Smart Chicks tour stop (my first) and after having lunch with most of the other authors on this stop and hearing all about last night's event in Houston, I'm really excited about tonight!
Tomorrow, I'll be back at home for a few days, finishing up IF I DIE and preparing for the Alpha release before I fly out to California for my last two stops on the Smart Chicks tour. It's a crazy busy and exciting month for me and part of me wants it to last forever, whi...

Smart Chicks Tour!!!
The Smart Chicks Kick It tour starts tomorrow!!!
This tour has been seventeen months in the making, and I can't believe it's finally here! I don't even have words for how excited I am for my three stops, and I can't wait to meet readers, and those of my fellow authors I haven't already met in person.
Just a note from our fearless leaders (Melissa Marr and Kelley Armstrong, both of whom I adore):

Alpha trailer and contest
Okay, I think we're finally ready to show off the Alpha trailer! The HD version is too big to post here, but you can click through to Youtube to watch it there, or you can watch it on my website.
And, of course, I promised another giveaway, so here goes!
Since we've already had a couple of easy, raise-your-hand-if-you-want-one contests, this one's going to require a little work. (Mwa ha ha ha!)
What's up for grabs: an early, signed copy of Alpha .How you can enter: post this trailer on your...

Like a grownup
I had a busy weekend, and Monday morning has hit me hard. Because of continued wrist and arm troubles, I've had to give up my precious laptop/recliner setup and am now chained to a desk at a new desktop computer in my re-organized office. Like a grownup.
Fortunately, I use a wireless external hard drive rather than an internal one most of the time, so I didn't have to transfer most of my documents, but I did have to transfer all of my music and pictures, which took forever. As did rearranging ...
