Whatcha doing next Thursday? Set the DVR for The Vampire Diaries and come on out to Malaprops, where nine YA authors face off in a battle TO THE DEATH… I mean, where nine YA hang out, chat about fiction, writing, and everything else, and sign books afterwards for all who are interested.

And guess who the authors are? Carrie Ryan, Beth Revis, Jackson Pearce, Tessa Gratton, Brenna Yovanoff, Myra McEntire, Victoria Schwab, Sonia Gensler, and me! Talking, then signing. General mayhem throughout! We hope you’ll stop by and see us at Malaprops!
