The Debate Draws Nigh...
In two days time, a debate kicks off the likes of which you will ne'er see again.But first, some background on the events leading up to this epic duel.
I have a daughter, which means that I have seen both Tangled and Frozen approximately 1,382,412 times.Some of you may recall a post I made nearly a year ago citing why Tangled is the superior film. Others found my argument so compelling that none dared challenge it for fear of the royalsmack downlaid upon them via a frying pan to the head.

READ poster
Anyone else remember those READ posters in your school library?I do! Always hoped I'd end up on one...
(Aaron checks that one off the bucket list.)
Big thanks to the students and staff of Francis Parker for inviting me into their school this past December and creating this poster.
I love my dark wings!

Fan Mail!

Went to the mailbox today and found quite the surprise...as in 60+ fan letters!I might've skipped back to the house.
Anyway, all the letters are from students I spoke with on my December tour. Most of them are thank you letters, but afew aspiring authors even had questions.
I thought it'd be cool to answer them via video post and share excerpts of these amazing letters with all of you. ;) Still here? You rock...

Indy Book Tour - final recap
Merry Late Christmas, all!
Meant to have this posted before leaving for the holidays, but happy to finally have a chance to sit down and write it out now. Christmas rocked! My fam says I'm pretty tough to find gifts for - books, movies, and Indianapolis Colts gear.
Simple and I love it.
Btw, I might've received this Christmas present a day late, but you won't hear any complaints from me. I received an awesomeemail this afternoon - my debut novel,Salted, has been nominated for Best YA Novel of...
