Happy Saturday, everyone!

I’ve been under the weather for a week or so, so I’ve been offline. But, I’m slowly getting back to normal. I missed blogging and chatting with Team Canterwood!

Also, the photo shoot is on Monday! Um, YAY!! Sadly, I’m not feeling well enough to go. 😦 😦 But I’ve got the best team ever and we’ve got some amazing stuff already lined up for the covers. They’re going to be FABULOUS–you’ll see.

I’m about to get back to working on UNFRIENDLY COMPETITION, so I’m glad to jump back into Canterwood land. The book will be finished soon and, sniff, it’ll be the last time I write from Sasha’s POV. But, I’m also extremely excited. When this book is done, Kate and I will be working on our YA idea together and *that’s* supersuperexciting. 🙂

I hope you’re all having a wonderful weekend!

Happy Saturday, everyone! I had time to edit another video from the previous Canterwood Crest cover photo shoot, so I thought I’d share. Yay!

Here, I talk with the models who portray Heather Fox and Sasha Silver. We’re all goofing off and chatting before the first shot of the day.

Enjoy! 🙂

PS–the vid is still processing as of now, so quality will improve soon!

Since we’ve been talking a lot about Paige Parker this week, I wanted to share another exclusive photo from the shoot for the covers of books 9-12. I’m (on the right) posing with the awesome model who played Paige. We chatted a lot on set and had so much fun.

Starting in January, I’ll begin posting video clips and more photos from the shoot. I’ll be starting with pics of wardrobe and make up, plus tips via vlogs from top stylists on how to dress like a Canterwood model with an affordable mix of pieces. 🙂

I wanted to share my fave pic from the Canterwood shoot on Wednesday. I’m posing with this lovely bay horse and the famous Editor Kate. Now if you see her on the street and you want an early copy of Canterwood–chase her down. She’ll love it. 😉

So. Glad. It’s. Friday. But it’s gonna be a working weekend. Like, crazy-working. But I’m just happy to be home and not on a plane or at an airport. I’m trying to respond to reader email (I’ve, um, got 15 pages of new messages to go through), but I’m working on it. You guys have been sooo patient and I really appreciate it! 🙂 Also, if you sent me a book to sign, I mailed back a couple of them yesterday as well as responded to a couple of snail mail letters, so be on the look out for those. 🙂 Special shout out to an awesome reader who sent me tiny plastic horses in the mail. ❤ them!! Thank you!

What’s everyone else doing this weekend?

Canterwood Crest photo shoot pics!

Yesterday was the third photo shoot for the Canterwood series!! We were shooting the covers for books 9-12 and it felt like a reunion of sorts, seeing my girls and the crew. I’m only posting pics that were Tweeted yesterday either by Editor K or I. The rest, hi-res beauties, will be posted around the releases of books 9-12. And maybe a few early ones here and there just to tease. 😉 Or, I might post pics for that specfic cover when it’s finished and I’m allowed to share it. Then you guys wouldn’t have to wait until 2010 to see the videos. That would be sad.

It was a fantastic day. I was up at 4something and the S&S crew (yep, I’m including myself in there) rode together to NJ for the shoot.

We got started around 7something and wrapped around 7:30 that night. Everyone was fabulous and it was the best shoot ever. The covers (ahem, Jessica Handelman) are going to be *insane*. In the best way. Thanks, also, to Russell Gordon for adding his artistic eye to the shoot.


That’s Paige Parker getting a wardrobe adjustment as we get ready to shoot. Aren’t you guys excited to finally see Paige on a cover?!

This is Editor K almost losing it when Zoe, the bay, tried to sniff her. The coversation after this shot:

Editor K: *shooting shocked/pretend-furious look at Totally Innocent Author* OMG! Why didn’t you save me? That horse was about to eat my jacket! You didn’t warn me!

Innocent Author: *swallows and fears for her life* I didn’t know that was gonna happen! *then laughs not so quietly to herself*

Then full out laughter from both parties ensued. Editor K was also later chased by a bee which, apparently, I should have saved from from as well, LOL. Ooops.

We’re getting set up for the first shoot of the day. The models, who are the *sweetest* girls, can turn on the attitude so fast for the camera. Amazing.

One of our photographer’s assistants getting the camera ready. Heavy duty, huh?

Finally, my main girl Sasha getting her hair touched up before a shot. Aren’t you in LOVE with her shirt? I think this was right before the horse drooled all over her when he stuck his head out of the stall door. She was so great about and got cleaned up and kept going.

Sooo….I also vlogged. All day. I interviewed each model, the stylists and took lots of behind the scenes footage of hair and make up. I’m still figuring out how/when I’ll be releasing the vlogs. I reaaalllly want to show you guys all of the video RIGHT NOW. 🙂

Enjoy the pics and know that when I told the models how much support there is for Team Canterwood, they said to say a huge THANK YOU to all of you who read and love the books.
