crossed winner! (and t-shirts, and orem library!)

Congratulations! The winner of the ARC of CROSSED is….

JEN N. (JEN NYSTROM)!

I honestly can't believe how many people entered. Wow. I truly appreciate that you want to read this book and wish I had hundreds of ARCs to send out instead of just one. Thanks also for reading the blog and for your comments always. I can't tell you how happy it makes me when people enjoy my books.

Speaking of that…

…I just had to post this picture of the cute gals (Maren Washburn, Beck and Kris Hansen, Mary Alice Bender, and someone else! who am I missing?) who made the first MATCHED fan shirts I've ever seen! They even brought me one! I thought that was very sweet of them. These ladies have been to several of the events and are always so happy and excited. Many thanks again!!

I'm giving myself a tiny break from writing about writing this week because I have another presentation this afternoon at the Orem Library (details on the Events page). (And remember, we'll be giving away a couple of ARCs of CROSSED at the event, thanks to the generous folks at Penguin.)

But I'll be back on Thursday with another post about reading…and in the meantime, if there are any questions you have on writing that you'd like to see (that aren't in the FAQ or the A Conversation On posts), let me know here in the comments!
