FANG PAGE!

Hey everyone,

Happy Wednesday.

I am all excited because I am getting into the groove of writing The Phoenix Five and I have that old feeling in my stomach. The one I used to get when I wrote The Clique. The one that assured me you were going to love these five new characters. I will spill details about them as I get a little further into it but you’re going to be psyched.

I have been reading your comments– as usual–and have noticed some of you have been feeling a little detached from me lately. While that makes me sad, I am also grateful for your honesty. It keeps me on my toes and helps me improve.

Looking back I can see why you would think that. My blah-gs haven’t been as loaded as the used to be. I can only guess that’s because I haven’t been writing. I have spent the last year in mental turmoil. Developing a new series is hard work. Developing two new series’ is insane. So of course, I decide to go the way of insanit and devleop The Phoenix Five and The Dirty Book Club at the same time. This is not an excuse. It’s an explanation. Developing is full of extreme highs and massive dig-to-China lows. I’d leave work one day thinking I was onto something major. The next morning scrap the whole thing and start over. My assistant eventually quit.

This madness has been going on since last July. It’s hard to get excited about something when you don’t know what that something is. Am I right?

But now I do know what it is!! And I’m finally, and LEGALLY, allowed to gossip about it. So I feel liberated x 2. So things are on the uptick around here. You’ll see.

Amber posted a question that I wanted to take a minute to answer.

“I just found out something interesting. I remember back when Monster High one came out, having read about being a six novel series. Now I just found out on the link above, about there being another series by a different author, with four more books…I wonder why Lisi hasn’t said anything, about the series being continued by someone else.”

For starters misinformation is a given when it comes to the press. You all know that. Maybe at one point they thought Monster High would be 6 books and then changed their minds. Maybe the person who leaked that has wax buildup in their ear and heard the wrong thing. Because I only signed up for four books. I was asked to continue the series and keep going with number 5. After a lot of thought I said no. I am VERY ready to go back to writing about humans.

As far as someone else continuing the series, I know there are Monster High books coming out for tweens by a different author. But my MH series is over.

I did, however, promise a big prize to the first sister (or brother) who correctly answers my Back and Deader Than Ever trivia question. So here it is.

LALA IS A BIG FANG OF ANIMALS. NAME FOUR OF HER PETS AND THE TYPE OF ANIMALS THAT THEY ARE.

The first one to post the correct answer will receive and email from my publicist. Her name is Jessica Bromberg. She will ask for your address so she can send you your bounty.

Ready…set…post!

I’M BACK!!!!

TTYW,

Lisi
