Sign up for the newsletter, WIN BOOKS by Laurie Halse Anderson, Natalie D. Richards and Colleen Gleason!

If you haven’t gotten your hands on Laurie Halse Anderson’s latest, THE IMPOSSIBLE KNIFE OF MEMORY, I know you are dying to get it. Or what about SIX MONTHS LATER, the psychological thriller from Natalie D. Richards? And there is no such thing as too much steampunk YA, particularly when the heroines are Bram Stoker’s sister and Sherlock Holmes’ niece, so you’ll want to check out THE CLOCKWORK SCARAB, too. Well, now you can win all three —

Bay Area readers – are you available this weekend?

At the very last moment, I can announce an appearance in the Bay Area, where I’m spending a little time this month (and finishing SORCERESS). Got some free time this Sunday? Can you get to Belmont, CA? Then I have good news: I’ll be appearing there this Sunday, December 15, at 3 pm. More details (address, contact phone) in the News & Events section. But I hope to see some of you there!

I have joined a SEKRIT CLUB … I mean, the YA Series Insiders!

 

Very, very proud to announce that I’m a member of the YA Series Insiders – a brand-new group comprising authors who all have a new series launching in 2014. But while we’ll naturally be sharing news about our own upcoming titles (just try shutting me up about  A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU), that’s not all we’re about. We’re going to bring you information about all your favorite series, interviews with your favorite YA authors, and plenty of giveaways. Want to see what we’ve already cooked up for you?
