Book stalking in the ‘hood


I realized that I haven’t been book stalking in my new neighborhood yet! So, today, I did. I met the lovely Annie at Barnes & Noble who works in the children’s department. I told her my name and the series and she was like, “Oh. Oh!! The horse books!” She was super sweet and filled that B&N basket with my books to sign. I was about to die. I signed a basket of books and it was so fun. So, if you want autographed copies of TAKE THE REINS, CHASING BLUE or BEHIND THE BIT, they’re in stock.


Like a dork, I went to B&N last night to get a book (THE GLASS CASTLE), but forgot my other reason for going. The above! My reader girlies have been emailing me to say I’ve got a short story in the current issue of YOUNG RIDER Magazine and I hadn’t had the chance to grab a copy. Thank you so much to Lesley Ward for running a bio box and mentioning the Canterwood books. Really sweet of you and I appreciate all of the YR support.

This is said issue. (Above.)


And okay. I was taking pics of all of my friends’ books and the security guy was looking at me like, “What are you doing crazy girl?” I was finally like, “Dude. I’m a writer. These are my friends’ books. ‘Kay?” This was when I was snapping the pic of R Pattz. *grins* And NO–I did not purchase anything Rob-related. I was good.


Mandy’s PRADA AND PREJUDICE. (Oh, and note from here on–I did not face out or move any of these books. This is how they were on shelves.)


Jenny Han’s THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY.


Cindy Pon’s SILVER PHOENIX!


PORTIA’S EXCLUSIVE AND CONFIDENTIAL RULES OF TRUE FRIENDSHIP by Anna Hays and edited by Miss Liesa Abrams.


THINGS ARE GONNA GET UGLY by Hillary Homzie. Um, go Aladdin MIX for being faced out everywhere. Just sayin’.


NYT bestselling DORK DIARIES also edited by L Abrams.

Yay, all! 🙂 Thank you, Annie, for being so wonderful!

Also, a huge congrats to Alyson Noel on her GIANT new book deal. What I love about Alyson–she’s had monster success recently (not that she wasn’t doing amazing before!) and it hasn’t changed her at all. She’s still one of the nicest authors I’ve ever met and I’m thrilled for her!

Signing stock at Barnes & Noble Tallahassee!


Wow. Just wow. It’s my book. At a store. Barnes & Noble in Tallahassee. OMG!

There they are! The customer service rep, Kate, had the fourth copy at the desk with a sticky note on it. It said author is coming in tonight to sign copies.


Signing with my pink pen! The power of pink! 🙂


I love stalking my book.


Barnes & Noble in Tallahassee

So, I intended just to go in to gawk at my book on the shelves. But instead, I got to sign copies and leave signed postcards. I just missed the manager, but she was super nice on the phone. I hope to go back to sign new books whenever they come in.

Thanks so much, B&N Tallahassee, for supporting Canterwood Crest!!
