From the YALSA website: Happy Celebrate Teen Literature Day! Every year, YALSA sponsors this event, which “seeks to showcase some award-winning authors and books in the genre, as well as highlight librarians’ expertise in connecting teens with books and other reading materials.” Celebrate Teen Literature Day is when the Teen Read Week website is launched … and when the…
I have another fun and quirky interview today — my hosts are the lovely bloggers at Pages Unbound. I also get to answer my favorite question: the “is there anything we forgot to ask you?”, or what I like to call The Blank Check. What did I decide to ask myself on this particular occasion? There’s only one way…
It’s here! It’s here! As promised (for sooooo long), here is my inaugural video blog (aka: “vlog”) entry in which Princess Alethea Rants About Fairy Tales! These rants may not always be about the Grimms’ tales, but as I’m a Grimm Girl, and there is CERTAINLY enough fodder in the Complete Grimms’ Tales, this is probably the best place…
ENDER’S WORLD, with my essay “Mirror Mirror” (about the fairy tale tropes in Ender’s Game) is now available for purchase!
This one wasn’t made by me — it was done by a fan, completely without my knowledge. Which is why you always need to sign up for Google Alerts…because THIS IS EPICALLY AWESOME. I encourage you all to visit YouTube and tell her how much you love it too!
Huge hugs and many thank yous go out to everyone who helped me with yesterday’s EPIC April Fool’s prank, which I have hereby dubbed the “HERO 4.1 April Fool’s Day Project.” Like all the best jokes, this one began with a seed of truth: There WILL indeed be a 4th version cover of HERO, as-yet-to-be-released (but I promise, you…
(Crossposted to The Waterworld Mermaids) Sometimes you’re the bug, and sometimes you’re the windshield. Yes, folks, HERO really is getting yet another cover. This is the way of publishing, and I am so glad I have you all along for the ride. When I was but a wee lass attending the Ingram Publisher’s Showcase (may it rest in peace),…
Like you guys, I loved the cover for HERO. Loved it. Here is is again. The dragons are my favorite part: As far as we were all concerned, this was the final cover. It is the cover of the ARC (or so I’ve been told). And then yesterday, my awesometastic editor emailed to tell me that a Professional Calligrapher…
In what I hope will begin a series of Princess Alethea Ranting About Fairy Tales, Clarkesworld Magazine indulged me by publishing my essay “Original Sin” about the dubious origins of fairy tales and their influence on the children of the twenty-first century generation. Also, this was a heck of a lot of fun. 🙂
There are authors who don’t like interview questions. I suppose that, someday, I might get sick of them too. Maybe I’ve just always liked essay questions–maybe I just love talking about myself (and my books!). The best part about doing interviews is when questions come along that are just REALLY FUN TO ANSWER. I have to say, Emma’s questions…
