Want to Hang Out With Me Tonight?
Tomorrow I will write about The Very Nearly Perfect Thing That Is Happening Today. But fear not! I have a number of Totally Excellent things to write about today, including information on hanging out with me at 9 PM (EST) tonight. Totally Excellent Thing #1: The School Library Journal has a wonderful online teen newsletter [...]
Loving the Mitten State
What a great way to start the week – TWISTED has been selected as one of the 2008 Michigan Library Association’s Thumbs Up! Award honor books. THANK YOU, MICHIGAN!! Woooooooo! ::runs around office, tripping over stacks of books:: (I’ll post a link to the complete list as soon as it is available.) The weekend flew [...]
Start dancing!
The wonderful folks over at Readergirlz have declared the month of June to be PROM month. As in, the book I wrote called Prom. The site is fantabulous. You can: 1. download a poster there, 2. read a quick interview with me (and follow links to other interviews) 3. listen to the playlist I put [...]
Where is my list?
Thank you to everyone who came out to the bookstore in Oswego last night! (I also snuck into Oswego High School yesterday, courtesy of English teacher Heidi Sheffield, and surprised several classes of students who have been reading SPEAK. Thanks, Heidi and kids!) River’s End Bookstore celebrates its 10th anniversary on Sunday. If you’re in [...]

We’ve got plenty of songs for the other novels (special thanks to handworn and to John Connolly and his students for all their help). We are a little light on the number of songs suggested for PROM and CATALYST. And [...]

We have a winner!
Packing one last time tonight! I leave tomorrow for Goshen, IN where I will spend Wednesday speaking at Goshen High School. Why? Because that is where the winner of the PROM contest goes to school. I’m still waiting for releases to post the names and writing samples of the winner and runners-up, but I guess [...]
Writing Question #1
I just wrote a post about how today will be filled with the joys of pulling together my taxes, but I realized it was stupid so I deleted it. Instead, I’ll dig out one of last month’s writing questions: “How does an idea become a whole story?” ::pause to stare at screen:: ::types something:: ::deletes [...]
Dare to Read
Well this is something I never saw coming! PROM was chosen to be part of Elle magazine’s Dare To Read Bookclub. Somehow, this qualifies me as an Elle girl. (I wonder if I can get that on a tee shirt.) Elle is having a contest, too – free books as the prize, so hop over [...]
