Teen Me
It has been three weeks since my book came out, and things feel...fairly normal. Though it is still SO weird to be able to go into a bookstore and find my novel there. Just sitting on the shelf. Like, chilling near Jodi Picoult.
It is currently a Barnes & Noble Top Teen Pick, so get yourself to a bookstore stat!
Okay, blatant self-promotion over. (hahahaha. Who am I kidding.)
I have a lot of blog posts I want to do soon - especially one on my 1940s-themed book party, which I had two weeks ag...

New Links and Other Stuff
HIYA. So look what I found on the TumblrWhat Do You Believe?-
That is, of course, a quote that Wes says to Lydia in the book, and I love how they've set it against the background from the cover!!
Also, I've rehauled my website a touch and added a new section: FUN STUFF. Check it out! The links are in there, as well as tons and tons of pics of Camp Hero so everyone can get a better idea of what it looks like. I've included all - or most - of the landmarks from the book.
I've ALSO added a bunc...

Fav Book Trailers!
Yesterday was the release of So Close to You and it was awesome and surreal, and kind of like having a birthday where you have a lot of anticipation and excitement inside of you all day long and you're not sure what to do with it. BUT in all the excitement, I felt like I kind of overlooked my book trailer, which is also AWESOME. I know I posted it before, but I'm posting it again for good measure. Because, c'mon. It's my first book trailer ever.
I LOVE IT. And I'm not going to lie, I was a l...

The Wait is Over!!
TODAY IS THE DAY. So Close to You is officially in bookstores. OMGOMGOMGOMG! I am an author, you guys!
Thanks to everyone for the support and the help over the past...lifetime, I guess. I AM SO EXCITED. Also, does anyone have bail money? Because I fully expect to be arrested after the tenth Barnes & Noble kicks me out for excessive loitering.
In honor of my release, I'm doing a Twitter giveaway of a signed copy. Just tweet your favorite time travel story (book, movies or TV all apply!) to @Ra...

Hi guys!
This past week has been crazy. LOOK WHAT I GOT:

That is a BOX of books. Like, a whole lot of them. I want to put them all in the bathtub and swim around inside. Though I have a feeling there would be a lot of papercuts in unfortunate places.

Holy crap, I wrote a book.
I guess it didn't feel real until I was holding a solid, finished copy in my hands. And look at how beautiful it is!!
(That's me!!!!!!!)
I'm dying inside. Also, there's jumping:
Less than two weeks left before So Close to You hits bookstores! Then you too can get random statues to read it.
In related news, my blog tour is rocking and rolling across the Internets. We're already on Day 3! Here's a list of the interviews I've done so far:
