Kids Lit Quiz 2013 World Final is happening in Durban, and I'm going to be there!

Have you heard of the Kids Lit Quiz? To be honest, I didn't know anything about it until a few months ago. It sounds AWESOME, though! Here's what it's all about, according to one of their blogs:

The Kids Lit Quiz is an annual literature competition that tests the literary skills of children aged 10-13.  It was created in 1991 by New Zealand lecturer, Wayne Mills, as a way to motivate and reward good readers – in the same way that sporty kids get prizes and accolades for their achievements...

Creepy Hollow #3 Title Reveal | Teaser & Sneak Peak of the Cover!

Revealing the title of one's newest book can be a pretty big deal if you're, say, Veronica Roth. I'M NOT, but here's me doing a title reveal anyway! (NOT on video!) So, what could it be?

THE FAERIE QUEEN PRINCESS ROYAL PERSON?
THE FAERIE FOREST DUNGEON PALACE?  
THE FAERIE SPELL SECRET SONG? 

Nope. None of those. The third book in the Creepy Hollow series is:

THE FAERIE WAR
Surprise! What? You saw that coming? You knew there was going to be some kind of fight/battle/war thing? Pfsh...

Movie Posters for CITY OF BONES. Only a few months to go!

Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series is one of my favorites, so I am REALLY excited for the City of Bones movie coming in August! I recently came across some of the gorgeous character posters, and I feel a need to share my excitement by showing them to you :-)









They're not all the way I pictured them, but I'm not going to be a hater, so bring on the movie awesomeness! (Please don't be disappointing like, ahem, that other movie series based on that other really successful book series!)

Book Trailer Reveal for Susan Kaye Quinn's DEBT COLLECTOR

Here it is!


What's your life worth on the open market?
A debt collector can tell you precisely.

Lirium plays the part of the grim reaper well, with his dark trenchcoat, jackboots, and the black marks on his soul that every debt collector carries. He's just in it for his cut, the ten percent of the life energy he collects before he transfers it on to the high potentials, the people who will make the world a better place with their brains, their work, and their lives. That hit of life energy, a b...

So. I just finished the blog tour for my second novel, The Faerie Prince . It was great! I did a number of guest posts and interviews and bloggers were posting fantastic reviews. (Unfortunately I wasn't as active with replying to comments as I'd like to have been due to living with a tummy bug for the past 5 days. Yeah. Don't think about that!)
