I haven’t blogged in weeks! Egads! I've been very busy lately, but have lots of updates to share.
The Good:
- CLARITY has been nominated for the ALA Quick Picks for Reluctant Readers list and the Cybils YA Fantasy & SF! I am so thankful for the nominations. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
- I have seen the covers for the first two books in my middle grade trilogy and I adore them. I can’t wait to share!
The Bad:
- Oh dude, the bad. Do you ever have one of those months where All The Bad Things happen at once? Yeah. But I don’t want to dwell. Moving on to….
The Waity:
- YA Standalone Ghost Book has been moved from Fall 2012 to January 2013. It’s done and has been for a while, but sometimes these things have to happen for marketing reasons. But it will be worth the wait! And I can’t wait to tell you the title. And I am IN LOVE with the direction we’re taking with the cover. Plus I have some great origin stories to tell you about how the idea for the book all came together. It includes: a newspaper article, a chat with a friend, a horrifying midnight encounter, and…soccer. (I wrote the first 100 pages of the book during the 2010 World Cup and that ended up changing a main character’s name.) Fun stuff to share! You just have to wait a bit longer. :)
On Monday, check out my Facebook page, because I’ll be doing a Facebook-only giveaway of Paula Morris’s DARK SOULS. October is the perfect time to read a ghost book!
Have a great weekend!

I cannot wait to hear about the new YA standalone and see the covers for your MG books. Exciting stuff! And I love soccer, so I'm super excited to hear how this story all comes together. :-)
Sounds exciting! Can't wait to hear those stories : ) And, also, I hope all the bad things stop happening.
Congrats on your ALA Quick Pick nomination! :)
