UNDONE giveaway!

If you've been reading my blog for a while, you might remember that about a year and a half ago, I gave away a copy of Brooke Taylor's Undone to help celebrate her hardcover release. Well, this week is the paperback release, and I'm doing it again. And this time, my CP Rinda Elliott is doing the same thing, so make sure to enter her giveaway too for a double chance to win!

About the book:

Kori Kitzler is the "dark angel" of her high school: beautiful, mysterious, the subject of rumors. Serena M...

Soul Screamers blog tour

Okay, I have to admit that my head's spinning a bit here. The folks at Harlequin Teen have been very busy on my behalf (for which I could not be more excited!) and the result is more internet giveaways/contests/events than I can even count. Which means that you, awesome readers, have at least a couple dozen chances to win a copy of My Soul To Save (some of the giveaways also include the first volume, My Soul to Take ).

So, if you're interested, check a couple of these out for a good chance to w...

Soul giveaway and French Stray

Just a reminder, Tatooed Books is still hosting Soul Screamers week at her blog, and she's got some awesome stuff going on. She's designed a temporary cover for My Soul To Keep (the real cover for which I haven't actually seen yet) and a playlist for the book, as well as commissioning
"Soul" jewelry for her giveaway. Those necklaces are beautiful!







If you haven't already, go check that out!



Also, look what I got! French copies of Stray! They're calling it "Les Grifffes De La Nuit" or, "The Claws ...

Dame snippet, interview, fascinating review

Okay, I have a really hectic day today, so I have several great links for you in my absence. Wait! Don't go! Click the links! They're seriously interesing, IMO. ;-)

First up, my critique partner and fellow Deadline Dame, Rinda Elliott, has posted a snippet from a work in progress today. It's from an awesome dystopian YA, and this little bit of it blew me away. She's also got a great giveaway to go with it, so definitely check that out.

Also, my interview with Teen Libris is live here! Teen Libr...

Giveaways and a tease

First up, a little Soul Screamers goodness! The Bibliophilic Book blog as great reviews of the first two novels and the prequel here. And these reviews really made my morning. Seriously.

And... The Book Muncher is showing off the My Soul To Save trailer and giving away three copies of the book here!

And for the Deadline Dames readers (if you aren't one, you should be!), don't forget to check out the second week of anniversary giveaways, starting with Jenna Black. Jenna's giving away a backlist ...

Website updates and research help!

Number 1 and I did a couple of updates on my website last night. We're working on a new front page, but for now, here's what you might want to see:

The first chapter excerpt from SHIFT is now available for public consumption (it's been available at The Pride for a couple of weeks).I've listed most of my appearances for 2010 on the appearances page. I may be adding a couple more, and I don't have exact locations/dates/or times for my stops on the Smart Chicks tour, so you can expect a couple...

Something new...

Today I've posted an exclusive excerpt from Shift at the Deadline Dames, as part of our anniversary celebration. I'm also giving away a prize to one commenter.

A word of warning, though. The excerpt contains major spoilers from Prey. Do NOT read it if you aren't into ... spoiling stuff. ;-)

To celebrate, we're hosting two weeks of giveaways, including books, book-related merchandise, exclusive excerpts, and a grand prize on the last day.
