What's up, buttercup?

Glad you asked. Let's do a rundown of what's been going on around here lately because even I'm starting to lose track.

Travel!
My travel dates are starting to come together for 2012. Only a few are posted right now, but they're good ones. The soonest is the Romantic Times Booklovers Convention in Chicago in the second week of April. There's great programming for attendees (especially Teen Day), as well as a book fair I'll be signing at that's open to the public. Also hot off the presses: I'll be signing with the Smart Chicks in September in Salt Lake City and Las Vegas. They're an awesome lineup of YA authors touring the US and Canada. You can find out about them and the RT Convention over at my Appearances Page. Keep checking there for updates, especially since the Golden Lily Tour will be announced soon. You can also join my mailing list to receive updates. The baby has my travel limited this year, so it'll be a while before I can go anywhere outside of the US.

FORETOLD
The other hot news is about Foretold, the anthology featuring the infamous Rose-and-Dimitri-in-Russia short story that was written in honor of a contest my readers helped me kind of win (until we got in trouble for flooding the website). Anyway, there are lots of other cool authors in it, and the cover was just revealed. Even more exciting, the release date was moved to August 28 in the U.S. Release dates in other countries vary by the publishers in those countries, so I don't have information about availability outside of the US right now.

Hmm. I could've sworn there was more news, but this is all that's coming to mind. If I think of the rest, I'll let you know!
