I’m currently working on a new project that I’m super excited about, and I’m hoping to have more news to share soon. In the meantime, the best place to find and connect with me online is Instagram.

Trailer!

0
The BORN WICKED trailer and a fun behind-the-scenes video premiered this morning on Entertainment Weekly’s Shelf Life blog. You can see it here. I’m delighted with the trailer. I had absolutely nothing to do with it, but I love it! Cate looks very like I pictured her, and her prickly independence comes out perfectly in the voice-over. The first kiss and bit of accidental magic are from my favorite scene in the book. The response on Twitter and Facebook has been overwhelming and wonderful. Thank you so, so much to everyone who has tweeted or otherwise spread the word! What do you think of the trailer? Tell me about it in the comments!

Breathless Reads

1
I am super-excited to announce that I am going on tour! In fact, Penguin has organized a second Breathless Reads tour with me and three other fabulous authors: Andrea Cremer, Marie Lu, and Beth Revis! Ten days, seven cities!             I am basically insane with excitement and nervousness and more excitement about this. I met Beth in Branson last February (and little did I dream that this is what I’d be doing a year later!), but I can’t wait to meet Andrea and Marie. Will I get to meet YOU? I hope so! Here’s our schedule: Wednesday, Feb. 15 at 7pm Anderson’s Bookshop Chicago, IL   Thursday, Feb. 16 at 5pm Bethesda Library Bethesda, MD sponsored by Politics & Prose   Friday, Feb. 17 at 6pm Books of Wonder New York City   Saturday, Feb. 18 at 4pm Towne Center Book & Cafe Collegeville, PA  ...

Thrice Interview Series: THE GATHERING STORM

0
Today I’m interviewing Robin Bridges to celebrate the release of her book THE GATHERING STORM, which came out today! How fabulous does this sound? St. Petersburg, Russia, 1888. As she attends a whirl of glittering balls, royal debutante Katerina Alexandrovna, Duchess of Oldenburg, tries to hide a dark secret: she can raise the dead. No one knows. Not her family. Not the girls at her finishing school. Not the tsar or anyone in her aristocratic circle. Katerina considers her talent a curse, not a gift. But when she uses her special skill to protect a member of the Imperial Family, she finds herself caught in a web of intrigue.  An evil presence is growing within Europe’s royal bloodlines—and those aligned with the darkness threaten to topple the tsar. Suddenly Katerina’s strength as a necromancer attracts attention from unwelcome sources     … including two young men—George Alexandrovich, the tsar’s standoffish middle...

One Month

7
EEEEP! It’s now less than one month until BORN WICKED is released! I’m getting super-excited to share it with everyone! What’s going on with the author a month before release? Well, I spent a lot of time signing bookmarks last night while watching ONCE UPON A TIME and not-signing while being unable to tear my eyes away from the season two premiere of DOWNTON ABBEY. (Lady Sybil aka Nurse Crawley is my favorite!) I’ve also been signing a bunch of postcards for New Zealand readers and booksellers. (Penguin NZ made those and they’re gorgeous!) I’ve been writing some guest blogs and interviews as well. If you’re interested in interviewing me, please contact Penguin at yrmarketing@us.penguingroup.com about being added to the official blog tour! Last but not least, I’m planning my DC launch party (Saturday, February 11! Stay tuned for details later this week, I hope!) and my tour wardrobe. I’m also working...

Board Games

0
I love playing board games. When The Playwright and I were first dating, we played fiercely competitive trivia games on his PlayStation — You Don’t Know Jack and Jeopardy. Eventually we moved on to Scrabble and Rummikub and Qwirkle. Several of our friends are huge board game collectors, and they’ve introduced us to a host of new games. Ticket to Ride Europe is probably my favorite, but we got 10 Days in Asia for Christmas and I love it and want all the versions. We also just played Bananagrams for the first time ever (how is this possible, word geeks like us?) and promptly bought it and now I’m in love. I killed The Playwright at it last night, which is huge because he is wicked smart and usually much better than me at games. You may notice from the games I listed above that I tend to prefer fast-paced...
