Two For Tuesday: the Awesome Edition
For today’s Two For Tuesday feature, I am going to quickly share two AWESOME things. 1. The fabulous Kiersten White has a cover for her book! It is beautiful–totally my kind of cover. 2. Kate Hart, the wonderful blogger behind Two For Tuesday, gave me an Aweseomesauce Award! What’s that, you ask? Well: Rules if [...]
Run, don’t walk…
…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 [...]

Fast Five…
…reasons I love writing YA: 1. Getting e-mails from teens who read my blog and want to read my books is awesome. 2. Getting e-mails from high school teachers who read my blog and want to use my books in the classroom is possibly even more awesome. 3. I am secretly still 15 at heart. [...]
Goodbye, Neil
You might remember a while back when I mentioned I want to move into Neil Gaiman’s library. No? Well, let me remind you: Yeah, that’s not going to work. Turns out that while I had images of Neil and I sipping tea and eating crepes while we wrote our novels together in his library, he [...]
Get thee to the local bookseller…
…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 [...]
Making Lemonade
Sadly, I think the above graph is way more accurate than it should be. Life is a wonderful thing. There is so much surrounding us all to be happy about. Negativity just breeds more negativity and gets you nowhere. Sure, bad things happen in life, and everyone has rough times, but being negative about these [...]
An open letter…
…to my immune system. Dear Immune System; It has come to my attention that you have been severely slacking on the job. Germs are not being blocked, and viruses are partying behind your defense post. Your behavior is completely unacceptable, and there is no reason for it. Immune System, the administration has decided to give [...]
It’s a beautiful thing
Don’t judge a book by its cover. We have all heard the old adage, and I totally agree with the meaning behind it. But I have a confession to make. I totally judge books by their covers. All. The. Time. There are books out there I know I want to read solely based on the [...]
The Power of Persistency
The amazing Natalie Whipple has landed an agent. Not just ANY agent-she is now represented by Nathan Bransford. SQUEEE! Natalie has been writing and querying for a long time-she sent her first query to Nathan back in 2007. When she was rejected, she kept on writing. And writing. And writing. Relax, I’m a Ninja is [...]
WOW!
