Can't believe Halloween's already less than a week away! I'd originally planned to be Effie Trinket from
The Hunger Games, but then I got lazy and ended up as a witch instead. Here I am on my way to my friends' Halloween party last weekend.
Early this month I finished a pretty major revision of my current work-in-progress, Underbed. It's now back with my agent. We decided to make it a middle grade project rather than YA, and I think the change suits it well.
And of course,
NaNoWriMo is only a few more days away! I'm all set to start working on a somewhat gritty YA fantasy project called Moth & Moon. Can't wait to spend my afternoons curled up in coffee shops with a mug and my laptop! I'm
Fire and Air over on the NaNo site.
Recently I've been interviewed by two blogs,
The Book Cellar and
YA Librarian Tales, about Spookygirl. Spookygirl is also getting more and more reviews online, including
this lovely one by indie author Amy Martin, who was guest-reviewing on YA Reads. Thanks, everyone!
Also,
Young Adult Books Central is giving away five copies of Spookygirl! You can enter until Halloween, so stop by and take a chance. That link also includes my guest post about the most haunted house I've ever encountered.
And finally, I just noticed that S
pookygirl's Publishers Weekly review has been posted! PW mentions Spookygirl's "straight-talking, level-headed protagonist and smooth storytelling" -- not bad, not bad!
