I’ve been hanging on to this because I wanted to make sure I shared it with you guys — it’s the book trailer for my friend Amanda Brice‘s middle grade novel Codename: Dancer: A Dani Spevak Mystery. TELL me this doesn’t look supercute. Such a great video!!! I love the little icon people and Dani’s voice over. She’s got…
Hello, my lovelies! Returned from Baltimore Book Fest , wet and not unscathed — darn cold fingers and steel corset snaps! Pictures will be up…soonish (and not of the thumb injury, because I will not have you guys all freaking out on me again. Suffice it to say it’s bad). Came home to exhaustion and HERO’s edit letter, which…
Back in the summer of 2009, Stephen Segal at Weird Tales started a series called One-Minute Weird Tales, in which supershort flash fiction was set to music and aired on YouTube. At Dragon*Con that year Stephen asked me to write something for this series, and I did. I even picked out the music. But while it was an awesome…
When Bitten By Books asked me if I would like to do a guest post, Rachel and I bounced some ideas back and forth. I’m always up for doing something different, and Rachel was in the market for more vlog (video blog) content. VOILA! A match made in heaven. So here’s my guest post — it’s live today. Just…

Surprisingly, what came up…

A lovely YouTube review for Enchanted from Bookshelf Banter! Kallie’s running an Enchanted ARC giveaway on her site that ENDS TODAY, so if you want a piece of the action you better get your bootie on over there to enter!
A while back, I was contacted by Susan Bertram from www.allthingsif.org because I had mentioned in a blog post that Rudyard Kipling’s “If” was one of my favorite poems of all time. The poem was quoted in “See How They Run,” a British farce we performed at Spring Valley High School. My French Grandmother had a set of Rudyard…
a magical interview in which Avery Flynn and I are super punchy and MASSIVELY CUTE. Also, I have no idea why it filmed backwards. Oh yeah…and you could win a copy of ENCHANTED! Click on over to Avery’s blog & leave a comment. Be silly. Tell her I sent you. xox
I’m over at Treasured Tales for Young Adults again today–wait, did I ever leave? Maybe I’ve been lurking in the corners all this time! You never know! We magical princesses are like that. Today is special, however, because Alishia is posting another EXCLUSIVE DELETED SCENE from Enchanted, read by yours truly, all dressed up, on YouTube. What are you…
As we get ready for the THIEFTESS release on…
