Readers often ask me about my favorites. Favorite book that I’ve written. Favorite character I’ve invented. Favorite EVERYTHING. It’s so tough–like choosing a favorite child! But I will admit…I do have a favorite short story. To this date, my favorite story that I’ve ever written is “The Unicorn Hunter.” I dreamed up the concept a very long time ago:…
I am happy and honored today for two reasons: 1.) that I have the opportunity to interview one of my favorite authors, Sharon Shinn, and 2.) that I get to do it for USA Today’s Happy Ever After blog. The graphic novel publisher First Second is announcing today a collaborative effort between Sharon Shinn and Molly Ostertag called The Painted…
9. You travel a lot for appearances and cons – how do you organise your life to fit in writing, relaxing, family, all the other stuff? HAHAHAHAHAHA YOU SAID “ORGANIZE” HAHAHAHAHAHA *snort* (Click here to read the reat of the interview!)
Today feels like the TRUE first day of 2014 for me — yesterday was an exhausted flurry of getting Soteria out of the hospital and then working my aunt’s New Years party for 82 hours, so this is my day to jump back in swinging. AND BOY, AM I SWINGING. * First up: I have a blog post today…
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone in the US!

Set your watch/phone/timer/TARDIS…and if you missed it the first time, be sure to tune in! (CLICK HERE TO BOOKMARK THE LINK)…
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…
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…
What better way to celebrate the world NOT ending that listening to a very fun interview with me, hosted by the Roundtable Podcast? (I certainly can’t think of anything.) Alethea Kontis – author of “Enchanted” (recently listed on Kirkus Reviews among the “Best Teen Books of 2012“), the award-winning “Alpha-Oops” series, and so much more – is a passionate…
Janet and I just did a really great interview over at Sequential Tart. MAN they asked some good questions. I love the irony of doing interviews for The Wonderland Alphabet: Alice’s Adventures Through the ABCs and What She Found There — all my answers are wordier than the entire book. Heck, the title is almost wordier than the entire…
So here we are…the very last day of July’s Month of Artist & Author interviews! It’s been another super-fun ride. I’ve been honored to host such amazing creators. As always, I encourage you to check them out. If you missed any, don’t worry, you can still find them all on the Interviews Tab. I was *this* close to letting…
Today, my horoscope—in a couple of different places—talked about…
I often talk to middle schoolers about how keeping…
Casey and I have always said that she is…
