I'm just back from two incredibly long and packed with authors and books and reading and all that stuff days at the ALAN Conference. It seemed like everyone involved in YA literature was there, and it was an amazing event. I have piles of books and I heard great talks and writing chats. I got to meet some of my favorite authors, and some of my agency-mates as well, who were there to speak and sign. Cynthia Levinson, Jennifer Nielsen and Trent Reedy, you know who you are! What a great event. Read More

The Circus is Coming to Town
October 26, 2011
Circuses are the next big thing!
Where else can a kid run away, change a name, become a completely different person -- and get to wear a costume?
Think circus as everything wonderful and strange -- jugglers, magicians, illusionists, puppets, automata, steampunk, wire walkers, flyers, silks and spanish webs, german wheels. Color and magic everywhere you look.
I'm working with a few other authors to make you believe in the circus again. Some of the books that come to mind are The Boneshaker by Kate Milford, The Ruby Notebook by Laura Resau and Circus Galacticus by Deva Fagan.
Check here again for more circus, fantasy and Faerie. Read More
