Finally, "Kissing Dead Boys" Recognized.

The September School Library Journal has a lovely review of my story in The Restless Dead. Here's the part I liked best:

The third story, "Kissing Dead Boys," however, is classic Annette Curtis Klause and it alone may be worth the price of the book. Klause takes the tired-sexy-vampire and vampire-hunter conventions and makes them fresh in just 14 pages.

Woohoo! Finally! Much better than the Booklist review which said nice things then attributed my story to someone else. Yikes!

Giving Movies Another Chance

I've signed a contract for a movie of The Silver Kiss. It's likely to be a TV movie if it ever gets made. (These things are always iffy.) I should be jaded after my Blood and Chocolate experience, but who knows--maybe next time someone will get it right.

Kissing Dead Boys

My story “Kissing Dead Boys” is now out in an anthology called The Restless Dead from Candlewick Press and edited by Deborah Noyes. (ISBN: 978-0763629069) There are ten stories in the collection and I’m in great company. Other authors include Holly Black, Kelly Link, M.T. Anderson, and Libba Bray.
