Catching up on a busy Monday

Wow, so many of you have entered the contests–that’s awesome! Keep checking last week’s posts and be sure you’ve entered all of the giveaways. It was a great week to celebrate the release of BEST ENEMIES. Yaaay!

I wanted to share a new interview with pix and a vlog. Check here at the Girlz Like Me Website. Thanks so much to Taylor for conducting a fun, professional interview.

I spent the weekend in Balto with K, R and A and we had sooo much fun! We were at a wedding for our awesome friend and the reception was at a super cool comics museum. I was seated at the Strawberry Shortcake table–so cute!

The next couple of weeks are going to be insanely busy as I finish the draft of HOME SWEET DRAMA and start editing it. I’ve also got several speaking gigs, so I’ve got to make extra time for those and check over my presentations. As soon as I get the draft finished and turned in, I’ll start responding to reader girl e-mails as they’ve come in. 🙂

Last, check out the all new Aladdin MIX site. It’s adorable and I love it!

PS-Someone emailed me and said she’s going as Sasha for Halloween. She asked if Sasha would wear orange nail polish. ABSOLUTELY! 🙂
