I finally found the March/April issue of YOUNG RIDER at my local Books-a-Million. See that “true story” bit at the bottom left corner? That’s the article about Canterwood Crest. If you see the issue, check it out. There’s a Canterwood giveaway inside, tons of pics and a fun Q&A. A few girls have already emailed me about the issue–thanks for saying hi! 🙂

Big thanks to Lesley and Allison for running the article!

Yesterday, I met Jennifer from Tallahassee Magazine. We had a great chat at Starbucks and talked about Canterwood, mean girls and more. Thanks for interviewing me, Jennifer!

I’ve got a phone interview with the Lake City Reporter on Thursday. That means I don’t have to get dressed in my fancy interview clothes. Or, maybe I still will…I kind of like the idea of getting out of my usual writer clothes even for a phone thing. 🙂

I just finished the outline for Canterwood Crest #5 and feel that relief of, “Oh, good. I didn’t forget how to outline or come up with ideas.” 🙂 I *always* have that fear when I open a blank Word doc to start an outline. I’m convinced of the following:

1) I’ll have zero ideas.

or

2) My ideas will be super awful.

and

3) Agent A and Editor K will be like, “Um. What is this?”

But I made it through the outline. Whew.

And, finally, big congrats to agent sis Lauren Barnholdt! She posted a bunch of great news yesterday, including a new YA sale. Yay, L!
