Win an early copy of Triple Fault!

I just gave away a signed copy on the Canterwood Crest forum, but I think it’s time for a blog giveaway! Triple Fault comes out on August 11, but I know some of you JUST can’t wait. 🙂

So, to enter, leave a comment here, on my LiveJournal or in both places. Tell me why you want a copy of Triple Fault! 🙂

You have until Sunday, July 26 to enter.

Boring rules:

I’ll ship only to US addresses and you must e-mail me within a week to claim your prize. I’ll have all of that info when I announce the winner. Good luck!

Super Sparkly News!!!

Right now, I feel like I’ve consumed ALL of these:

Because…

My amazing editor, Kate Angelella, who is a total , has decided that she’s willing to put up with my overly caffeinated phone calls, Twittering in her presence and my obsession with R Pattz and has asked me to write books 9-12 in the Canterwood Crest series!!

Dance party! 🙂

This means Sasha and friends get to ride on for four more books!

To everyone who made it happen (again!!) I’m so, so grateful and am thrilled to have all of you on Team Canterwood! Aladdin MIX = awesome.

I’m in total shock right now and can’t even find the words to express how happy I am to be able to continue the stories of Sasha and her friends. I *never* thought I’d have twelve books. Never. And it would not have happened without the amazing, continued support of people who’ve backed me all the way.

I looked back through my blog and my last book deal was in December. So many things have changed since then, but my intense love for my books hasn’t. If anything, it has grown because of the wonderful fans who love the books and show it!

And this time last year? I was squeeing on the phone with EK when she sent me the cover for TAKE THE REINS, my first book.

Insane.

*breathes*

The books will continue on the bi-monthly pub schedule, so stay tuned for dates, covers and all of that fun stuff coming soon.

Again, I want to thank Kate for working side-by-side with me on this crazy schedule, for loving the books as much as I do and for listening to all of my insecurities and being the first one to know that I can do this. I’m beyond grateful to you for everything.

Book Expo America in NYC ’09–anyone?

Everyone online is chattering excitedly about BEA in LA and damn, I want to go! 🙂 It sounds like soo much fun and since I’ve never been, I’m dying to see what it’s like. I keep hearing the words free books and that just grabs my attention. 🙂

So, I’m marking my calendar for BEA in NYC in 2009. The dates are from May 28-May 31 at the Jacob K. Javits Center.

Is anyone else looking ahead and planning to go? I hope nothing pops up for me between now and then, but I’m definitely looking at booking it as soon as tickets are available. If you’re going or thinking about it, let me know! It would be so much fun to meet people from the online writer communities.

It would be a great time for me since it would be right before the release of Chasing Blue.
