Upcoming Events and Etc.
I wish this post had all the many things I want to tell you about regarding what's coming down the pipeline in my career. Ya know, things like the cover for The Death Cure, what projects might come after that, other... stuff...
But, you'll have to patient, I'm sorry. Patience is a virtue, ya know. Stay close, though. I don't want you to miss anything. There'll be lots to talk about. Soon.
At the end of this post I give you some absolutely free pop culture recommendations. But first...
There ARE a few events on the horizon, however, and I thought I'd pop in here and make sure they're all laid out. I hope I get to meet some of you...
Saturday, Feb. 5, 1:00 pmUm, that's TOMORROWBarnes and Noble, Southtown MallSandy UT, 1:00 pmThis is an Authorpalooza, with over 40 authors, none of whom I'll name because I'd certainly leave out a friend!
Thursday through SaturdayFeb. 17 - 19LTUE, a symposium at BYU (Harman Bldg)I'm the Guest of Honor (hey, quit snickering!), so I'll be on lots of panels and will be giving the keynote address on Saturday at 11:00 am.I'll also be doing a reading (first chapter or two from The Death Cure), but not sure when yet.For more details and a full schedule, CLICK HERE .
April 12- 15TLA (Texas Library Association)Austin, TXI'm not sure yet of my schedule, but I DO know I'm going!
May 6-7Storymakers ConferenceSalt Lake City, UTFor details, CLICK HERE .
May 9-10Battle of the BooksSt. Louis, MOSorry, I don't know many details, but I'll be there.
June 4Festival of BooksBYU
Those are the only events that are solid on the schedule, but other things will happen, especially as we get closer to the release of Book 3 this fall.
Absolutely free pop culture advice:
Anyone else watch Downton Abbey on PBS? I am officially an old person, because I loved it. Blame my mother.
I'm reading an incredible book. Matterhorn, by Karl Marlantes. I've always been interested in the Vietnam War, and this is about as authentic as you can get. Not for the faint of heart.
If you want a funny, leave-your-brain-behind movie to watch, go see The Green Hornet. I was pleasantly surprised (but I wouldn't call it a kid's movie) and laughed a lot.
If you'd rather be creeped out and see Anthony Hopkins channel Hannibal Lecter one last time, go see The Rite.
And I can't say this enough: go see The King's Speech. One of the best movies ever. I'm not lying. Ever. Unless you're eight, and then you might be bored.
Finally, I'm officially the last person on earth to join Netflix. I usually see movies in theaters, so I never got around to it. But... what? This is for real? 10 bucks a month? Unlimited streaming of bazillions of movies and TV shows? For real? Way too good to be true. I may have to stop writing books.....
(No, I'm not fishing for "you better NOT quit writing!!!" comments. Don't be silly.)
Have a great day and a great weekend.

First of all, I wish that you were attending events in California so we had a better chance at seeing you! Maybe we could get a spot on an upcoming tour of yours. *hint hint* I am a reading teacher/book reviewer/webmaster for a kids book review site and would LOVE to meet you. My students love The Maze Runner!I saw The King's Speech on a whim and was pleasantly surprised! It was brilliantly done with incredible actors. I am glad they didn't "Hollywood" it do death with over the top information. They stuck with the true issues and delivered it! I hope it wins all sorts of awards.
Netflix is wonderful...if you aren't busy with books all of the time. I have satellite with DVR and hardly watch a thing. I would prefer to be snuggled in bed with books surrounding me.
Good luck to you as a guest speaker!
I loved the Green Hornet as well. I too usually see movies in theaters but love Netflix/Blockbuster mail. I suggest going to see 127 hours if you haven't yet. Great movie and fantastic acting by James Franco. I'm planning on checking out the Kings Speech.
Oh My GOD! Those kids at battle of the books in St. Louis are extremely lucky! I participated in Battle of the Books for as long as I could! My school was super serious about the battle of the books, we had to take a test on the books to get in! I really wish I could miss school to go to at least one of these, but my parents won't let me! I enjoyed Maze Runner and Scorch Trials a lot! Thanks for writing them. You might not have set a date, but, do you know the date that Death Cure is coming out? I may sound crazy, but, I want to count down the days till it comes out! Kinda like a bunch of websites did for Mockingjay! Your books are becoming my new books. The Hunger Games trilogy is an amazing series and I memorized whole pages of it! Maze Runner just might turn into my new Hunger Games! I'm super excited for Death Cure, and I hope The Maze Runner movie comes out soon! Please don't stop writing and I hope all of the events go well!
