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 [...]
For Road Trip Wednesday this week, YA Highway wants to know: What’s the next Big Thing in YA? I am not even going to pretend I know what the next big thing will be. I am not a trend analyst, and honestly I try not to think about upcoming trends too much. It is a [...]
Believe it or not, I still have questions left unanswered. I promised I would answer them all and I am determined to do so. Better get crackin’! Today’s question comes from Jessie Sin, who asks: Who are your most read and awaited authors and why? Here’s the deal: I don’t really have any authors whose [...]

Fair warning: this post is more my random, jumbled thoughts on this topic than anything coherent. Read at your own risk. While I was working today, my mind drifted to the realms of writing and reading-as it often does. I got to thinking about the “Fairy Tale Ending” – the warm, fuzzy Happily Ever After. Stories [...]
My mom totally helped me geek out this Christmas by giving me ALL 7 HARRY POTTER BOOKS IN RUSSIAN!!! (not excited at all, by the way) And now (this is where the eye candy comes in), behold: This will be added to my Russian Books shelf as soon as I can get my grubby little [...]
…and pick up a copy of Jackson Pearce’s As You Wish. Seriously, go now. Unless, of course, your local bookseller is as lame as mine is and doesn’t carry it. (In all fairness, I normally love my local shop. But I have been peeved about the lack of As You Wish for months.) As You [...]
The lovelies over at YA Highway (seriously, YA writers who love travel–where do I sign up?) have little blog feature called Road Trip Wednesday. It is basically a blog carnival where they all blog about the same topic and invite others to as well. Then, all the links to the blogs are in one neat [...]
