For Teen Read Week I was invited, along with
Helen Landalf (Flyaway),
Kendare Blake (Anna Dressed in Blood and Girl of Nightmares, and
Chelsea Campbell (The Rise of Renegade X) to the Burien Library. We introduced our books, and read a little bit. We had a great crowd of teens there, readers and writers alike. They asked a bunch of great questions about our books, our writing process, and the publishing process. It was a lot of fun. I love doing visits with teens and writers.
Tomorrow night I get to go to the Olympia Barnes and Noble with Helen,
Marissa Meyer (Cinder),
Kiki Hamilton (The Faerie Ring and Torn Wing),
Kevin Emerson (The Oliver Nocturne Series), and
Mikko Azul (Askari). It starts at 5:30, so if you're in the area, come on by.
I've spearheaded many events for our local young adult and middle grade writers. We'll soon have a website up and running. If you're interested in having a group of writers come to your book store, library, school, or book club, send me an
email.
