I’m so excited! I’m going to be doing a booktalk at Kokomo-Howard County Public Library TODAY, in Kokomo, IN.
If you’re nearby, I hope you’ll stop by. It’s totally free, and I’ll be at your service if you want to talk about my books, writing in general, writing in specific, publishing, or soup. You guys know how I love soup!
And, as an extra bonus, you will get to see what color my hair is now. Muahahahhahaha!
There WILL be books for sale (and at a discount even!) Hardcovers of The Vespertine will be $14 and paperbacks of Shadowed Summer will be $7. They do request that you bring cash only, please. And of course, if you already own one of my books, I will be happy to sign those as well! (Including copies of Dear Bully and Truth & Dare!)

People keep talking about how Irene wasn’t a big deal, and maybe if you were in New York City, it wasn’t. But people all up and down the eastern seaboard have been flooded out of their homes. Their towns have literally washed away, and many are still waiting for the return of power, of roads, and normalcy.
Which is why Erin Bowman, Caroline Richmond, Tracey Neithercott and Sarah Enni put together Read for Relief. They’re raising money for the Red Cross for Irene relief efforts, and they’ve had an amazing collection of auctions to bid on. I’m excited to offer up the very first ARC copy of The Springsweet.
But that’s not all! This prize pack includes a signed train pass, a Lover’s Garden Seed Collection from American Meadows, a classic tea collection from Tea Forté, a lampwork bottle pendant, a signed hardcover copy of The Vespertine and a signed ARC of The Springsweet (coming April 17, 2012!)
And to sweeten the pot, if bidding on this item at Read for Relief passes $200.00*, I will give away another prize pack containing the same items on my blog. You can bid on this prize here. The bidding will close on Sunday at 10:00PM EST, and hey, if you don’t want to bid on my auction, there are TONS of really amazing things on offer including full manuscript critiques, book packs, signed books, jewelry and more.
Please come check it out and help those who didn’t get a miss from Ms. Irene!
*Winner of the auction must actually pay for the auction prize, for this offer to be valid!
