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…
You know I’ve been working on it, and those of you who saw me on book tour this summer got the scoop, but the stars have finally aligned and I can officially make the announcement: Harcourt has signed me on to do two more books in the Enchanted series!!! And there was much rejoicing. *snoopy dance* ************ PRESS RELEASE:…
My Gelett Burgess Children’s Book Award arrived in the mail today. It’s a medal. An honest-to-god medal. I feel like I just won the Olympics!!! (And yes, I did bite it. I just didn’t take a picture of that…)
More on this later because I have GOT to finish writing Chapter 10 today…but SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! I didn’t even know non-picture books could win this! (For the record, the cutoff date for publication was May 31st, so The Wonderland Alphabet: Alice’s Adventures Through the ABCs and What She Found There isn’t eligible until next year.) From the website: The Gelett…
While I was doing the YouTube research on my Making Money blog post yesterday, I came across something very fun. Out of curiosity, I typed “Alethea Kontis” into the YouTube search function to see if any of my videos or deleted scenes (or interviews at Dragon*Con, or fan videos of various panels) came up first. Surprisingly, what came up…
You know what makes everyone smile? BLOOPER REELS. Please enjoy this quick, minute-long blooper reel, constructed from all the deleted scenes I read for the Enchanted blog tour this summer. Because if we can’t laugh at ourselves…what’s the point? To check out all the other Enchanted deleted scenes and goodies you might have missed on YouTube, click on over…
Hello, everyone! Welcome to July, and the Month of Artist and Author Interviews here on the website! To kick things off in a contrary fashion (because all ways here belong to me), today’s interview is neither an author nor an artist (but she could be both one day, if she wanted to). As promised, here is the interview with…
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!
This week I had the privilege of being featured on my good friend Anton Strout’s “The Once and Future Podcast.” We got very writerly in our discussion — folks looking to hear about the struggles of writing life…and writing sequels…and writing under stress…and writing while over committed…will LOVE this one. Just click on the image below! This week I…
Every Monday while I’m on book tour for Enchanted, I’m going to share a fun music video that features love, fairy tales, magic, or my inspirations. Today’s song is “Fable” by Robert Miles. Those fans of the 1998 fairy tale classic Ever After may recognize this song from the film’s trailer…but it was lamentably not included in the soundtrack….
Happy Prime and Anti-Prime Day! (which I think now…
Dearest Squad, “Always write when you’re in love.” My…
