Have I mentioned yet how ridiculously excited I am for this book? Yeah, I am pretty sure I have once or twice. Or so many times I am not even going to go back and count them. This book sounds awesome! Don’t believe me? Read this: Scarlett March lives to hunt the Fenris—the werewolves that [...]
You might remember a few weeks ago when I mentioned I was starting a complete rewrite of Incubus. Now, if you glance to the sidebar (—–>), you will notice that the word-count ticker for Incubus is still completely empty. Hmmm. That does not match up. What happened is I came across a period of this [...]
In honor of Saint Patrick’s Day, YA Highway wants us to all write a limerick about our favorite books and/or works in progress. Holy commas! This one was hard. Apparently I have lost my touch since my stellar Freshman-Year-English-Class limerick. Of course, my determination to write one for both a WIP and my favorite book [...]
…to the nearest bookstore to pick up The Dead-Tossed Waves. Okay. I started writing a different post, but I just can’t get Carrie Ryan’s world and words out of my head, so I scrapped that post in favor of this recommendation. It is no secret that I loved The Forest of Hands and Teeth, so [...]

Um, I should probably just state up front that if you haven’t read the Harry Potter books, are planning to, and don’t want any surprises ruined, you should just not read this post. Harry Potter started out being all about the action. Sure, there was friendship and longing and identity issues and so forth, but [...]
It’s Harry Potter week on the blah-g this week! That means four posts this week are devoted to the wonder that is Harry Potter. Yay! A couple of weeks ago, during the “Gender in YA” discussion on Twitter, there was a bit of discussion about dysfunctional families in Young adult literature. One commenter even went [...]
For today’s Road Trip Wednesday, YA Highway wants to know: What’s your favorite display of affection in a YA? Yeah, I don’t like to play favorites. Probably because my favorite changes depending on what mood I am in. So I don’t think I am going to really answer this question as much as I am going [...]
