Upcoming Event!

If you're in the Salt Lake City area next Friday, July 20th, don't forget to stop by the West Jordan Barnes and Noble between 7:00-9:00! I'll be there signing books with my friends, Lani Woodland (author of Intrinsical and Indelible) and Amber Argyle (author of Witch Song).

Here's the event info from the Barnes and Noble website.

I'll be giving out bookmarks, tattoos, and signing books!

Come see us!

New York, New York!

I already did my BEA in Pics post, but I had so many pictures from New York that I decided to do another one with some of the touristy things my mom and I did. Read about our adventures below!

This was the first time my mom had ever been to a big city, and she was convinced we were going to get arrested/mugged/murdered every day. The first time my mom believed we were going to be arrested was when we got caught in a sea of Obama protesters. Unbeknownst to us, the President was having a fundraiser at the Amsterdam theater, next to Madame Tussaud's where we were picking up tour tickets. The streets were filled with protesters, most of whom were wearing black or white. My mom plowed through them in her bright pink shirt as fast as she could, worried the police, who were trying to coordinate the protest, would mistake her for a protester too. You can probably see her on the CNN coverage. It will be like playing Where's Waldo, only you'll have to find the woman in pink.

Times Square! My mom was a bit overwhelmed by all the people. She lives in Wyoming. There are only 400,000 people in her whole state. She was certain there were at least that many people just in Times Square.

 The Naked Cowboy was outside our hotel. I was very excited to introduce my mom to him. She tried to run away. She thought she'd get arrested for looking at him.

The Doughnut Plant has the best doughnuts in New York, so we had to try them! I had the chocolate blackout, my mom had pistachio glaze, and we shared the tres leches.

Frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity 3! 

We stopped by the Museum of Modern Art to see Starry Night by Van Gogh. Luckily, Alex let the museum borrow it again after his date with Evie in Eternal Starling. :)

The Dakota building where John Lennon lived, and was later murdered.

The view of Central Park from the top of Rockefeller Center.

The New York skyline at night.

Wicked! This was the second time I've seen it. The first time was when it opened in London in 2006 with the original Broadway cast. Idina Menzel will always be Elphaba to me. We also saw the Lion King, and Phantom of the Opera. I loved them all, but the costumes and puppetry in the Lion King were amazing. I've never seen anything like it.

Inside the Empire State building, waiting to go up the elevators.

Me at the Empire State building. It was about 60 degrees, but the view was still incredible!

BEA in Pictures!

I just got back from my first trip to BEA in New York! I had so much fun! I met a lot of fabulous authors and bloggers, and I even got to do an Eternal Starling signing! Read on to see my picture/video book of BEA!

On Wednesday, I vlogged with my good friend and fellow Pendrell author, Lani Woodland!

Breakfast with awesome authors!
Jeri Smith-Ready, Mike Mullin, Sera Phyn, Lani Woodland, Melanie Marks, Jennifer Armentrout, and me.

The end of my signing at BEA! I was so excited people stood in line and I got to meet everyone!

Update about my sister

I just want to say thank you to everyone for their concerns about my sister, Natasha. My family and I were overwhelmed by the support, thoughts, prayers, and love from all over the world. The positive energy made a huge difference! It really helped Natasha keep her spirits up. We read the comments on my blog post, Twitter, and Facebook page to her. It meant the world to her that so many people, including people she's never met, cared about her getting her eyesight back.

I want to update you and let you know Natasha is doing a lot better! She's no longer completely blind and she has started to regain some of her vision--enough that she can get around on her own again. She's back home now, spending some quality time with her cat, Belle. :) Her doctors were completely shocked at her recovery. They weren't sure if she would ever recover, and they definitely didn't expect her to be at this point for several months, if at all.

I know the support and love of everyone made a difference, and really contributed to her recovery. We know her sight will continue to improve and she's doing well. My family and I want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!

Hugs to you all!!!

My First Foreign Rights Sale!

I'm so excited to announce that the Romanian foreign rights for Eternal Starling have sold to LEDA, an imprint of Corint Publishers Group!!!

Here's the official Publishers Marketplace announcement!

I want to send a HUGE thank you to Krisz from walking-on-letters.blogspot.com. She's done so much to let people know about Eternal Starling! She made fan art with quotes from the book; started an Emblem of Eternity Tumblr page; and posted several blog posts about the book and campaign! She even recently had the help of Emy and Rose, two awesome Romanian bloggers, to translate the prologue and first chapter from English to Romanian! I appreciate her passion for Eternal Starling, and all that she's done to help bring the book to Romania! You can read Krisz's blog post about the sale here!

I also want to say thank you to all the bloggers and people in Romania who supported the campaign! So many bloggers posted about the campaign and asked me to do interviews. I've been overwhelmed with all the kind emails I've received, and everyone I've worked with in Romania has been so nice!

I can't say thank you enough! And I can't wait for Eternal Starling to be published in Romania!!!
