Sideshow is Out This Month!

More information on Deborah Noyes' page and at Candlewick Press.

See You at ALA?

I'll be at the American Library Association annual conference in Chicago next weekend, so if you are there, I hope I see you. I'll be the one running around waving my copies of Sideshow and the new edition of The Silver Kiss with BONUS SHORT STORIES. *grin*

I'll be attending the Margaret Edwards Award lunch on Saturday and the Printz Awards on Monday night. You might also catch me sneaking in to listen to the Newbery/Caldecott award speeches after a riotous dinner with fellow authors, lurking in the exhibits hall, or cadging drinks at various publisher's parties. Oh, yes, I may very well actually attend some real live educational events, too, with my librarian hat on. No, that's an invisible hat--don't go looking for it. LOL I do have some librarian jewelry, though, thanks to my husband. Who knew that there were Library Club charms? I didn't.

Before There Was Twilight...

There was



New edition coming in July, with two bonus short stories about Simon and Zoë, one of which has never been published before.

Remember

I'll be at ConBust this weekend.

I'll be at ConBust Again This Year

ConBust is a Science Fiction convention at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts. I'll be there on Friday, March 27 and Saturday March 28.

"What sets ConBust apart from most other sci-fi, fantasy, anime, and/or gaming conventions is its focus on the female members of the participating community. While the various realms of geekdom remain stereotypically male-dominated, ConBust is held to celebrate the work of women amongst these genres"

New Story Out Next Summer

I'd like to share the cover of an anthology from Candlewick Press that I will have a story published in next July. The collection is called Sideshow: Ten Original Tales of Freaks, Illusionists, and Other Matters Odd and Magical, and my story is entitled "The Mummy's Daughter."

As you can see, I'm in good company.

Less Than a Week

My Next Gig

I'll be speaking at the Silver Spring Book Fest on Saturday, October 25th. My presentation will be at 2 p.m. at the Silver Spring Library in Silver Spring Maryland. (Can I squeeze Silver Spring in one more time? LOL)
