Fall in Love with Teen Fiction Event at Powell's Book

Two weeks from today me and six other authors from New Leaf Literary & Media will be at Powell's Books in Beaverton, Oregon! I'm super excited to spend time with these talented ladies and to have a chance to talk to readers. Readers are awesome. Seriously. I can't say that enough.
There is also going to be a fantastic giveaway of exclusive content from all the writers to anybody who comes and purchases two or more books through the event. I'm not allowed to say what my exclusive content it is, but I will drop a hint: it has a LOT to do with Eli Booker.
Oh, and since we're talking about events, just a quick reminder that I will be presenting at TLA 2013 in Texas the week after Powell's, April 24-27. AND I will be at Edgefest with a whole bunch of other YA authors that Sunday, April 28. In other words, April is going to freakin' rock, ya'll.

School Visit Wrap Up

I've posted the wrap up of my school visit at Valley View Junior High over on the website.  Plus I share some pics of my early writing (hint: both funny and a bit alarming). Check it out here.

Book 2 Title Announcement!

That's right! I've been given permission to announce the official title for the sequel to The Nightmare Affair.
This is my level of excitement over the reality that I get to do this book thing all over again:


Okay...you ready?????
THE NIGHTMARE DILEMMA
Do you like it? There are soooooo many things I want to tell you about it, like how Dusty is confronted with a brand new mystery, this time surrounding a friend, and that Selene has a secret she won't share even with Dusty, and how the romance between Eli and...opps. Better stop there.
But don't fret—I'm certain more official details will be coming soon.

McLean and Eakin Booksellers Event Cancelled!

Hey, just a quick reminder that my workshop event at Mckean and Eakin Booksellers has been cancelled due to weather and other winter-sucks type reasons. I'm really sorry for anyone who had been planning to come, and I would be happy to send you some signed swag to make up for it. Just email me your mailing address.
My other events are still on, including the one tomorrow night at Joseph-Beth in Cincinnati and Mysterious Galaxy at Redondo Beach on Saturday. Hope to see some of you there. And a HUGE thank you to everyone who braved the snow and ice and overall yuckiness of last night to attend my launch. It was a blast.
Cheers!

The Nightmare Affair is Here!

That's right! Finally after months and months of waiting, the day has officially arrived. The Nightmare Affair is out in stores and shipping from Amazon and other online retailers. I've even seen the book and held it in my hands, and I still can hardly believe it! Thank you so much to everyone who has read and reviewed it already. Readers are the best people. Absolutely.
There are a million other things I should probably say, but right now I've got to get ready for my TV appearance today at noon (egads, how is this even possible???) and then, of course, my book launch tonight at Books & Co at 7:00. It's supposed to snow and sleet and rain and be overall completely yucky today. Go figure. But I still plan to enjoy it.Happy reading!
