Shannon-Events UPDATE!
Sorry it's been another quiet blogging week for me. I'm on another TIGHT deadline for LTSF #2--but I will hopefully be done with that next week or so and then MAYBE things really will get back to normal around here.
In the meantime I have some super-important Shannon Event Updates (well... I guess they're only Super-Important to those of you brave enough to attend a Shannon-Event. But I'm going to pretend you're ALL on the edge of your seats right now)
First--AND MOST IMPORTANTLY--the time and location of the LET THE SKY FALL launch party has CHANGED!!!! (this is why I should always have my publicist arrange things for me, she does such a better job!)
It's now going to be at one of my favorite independent book stores (I'm kind of geeking out about it because I've been to so many awesome events there): Mysterious Galaxy Books!!!
Here's the official deets--FOR REAL THIS TIME, I PROMISE!
LET THE SKY FALL Launch PartyTuesday, March 5, 7:00 pmMysterious Galaxy Books7051 Clairemont Mesa Blvd., Suite #302 San Diego, CA 92111858-268-4747
I really hope some of you will be able to come. I promise rambling and embarrassing Shannon gestures (which will look super dorky in all of your pictures.) Plus prizes. AND YUMMY THINGS. So you live in SoCal, please come. And bring your friends. GRAB STRANGERS. ;)
ALSO, for any of you who are writers, here's another event I have coming up that I highly, HIGHLY recommend you consider attending:
Big Sur Children's Writer's WorkshopMarch 1-3Embassy Suites HotelSalinas, CA
This is seriously one of the best Writer's Conferences I've ever been to--and I've been to a LOT of conferences. If you're a writer and you want to improve your craft, THIS is the place to do it. They have a very unique format where you get to round table workshop actual pages from your drafts with agents, editors, and authors. I went in 2011 as an attendee and got some key feedback that made a huge improvement in LTSF and I'm sure is part of why it sold, so I'm SO honored that I'll be on the faculty this year. Yes, it is a tad pricey (though considering the rate includes your room and your meals it's actually one of the more affordable writers' conferences) but it's seriously worth every penny. Registration info is HERE. Faculty details are HERE.
And don't forget, I have some awesome events this weekend--it's not too late to decide to come. Here's the event info:
Young Adult Writing Conference: When: Saturday, January 26th, 8:30am - 3:00pmWhere: Dobson High School1501 W. Guadalupe Rd, Mesa 85202For prices and registration info (plus a list of the full faculty) go HERE.

And one LAST thing to mark your calendars for (yes, I have a LOT of events coming up) is a signing/author panel I'm doing with my awesome agent-brother Chris Howard (ROOTLESS) and the lovely and hilarious Debra Driza (MILA 2.0) at the end of March. Here's the deets:
