A BLUE SO DARK COVER ART

I can officially start showing it off: the cover of A BLUE SO DARK!


...I'm absolutely ecstatic!

PICTURE THIS...

So I’m putting together our yearly calendar...for 2010, I'm using pictures of me and my brother, John, when we were little. This particular black-and-white is my shot for June…I’m thinkin’ it was taken by our next-door neighbor the summer before my first-grade year.

…Makes my ears fill with a Cyndi Lauper soundtrack just looking at it. Right about this time, I was obsessed with She's So Unusual (the first record I ever bought). Later that year, I even dressed up as Cyndi Lauper for Halloween!

I think I'll reclaim "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" as my personal anthem...

MY FIRST INTERVIEW!

I SOLD ANOTHER BOOK!

I’m ecstatic to announce that I sold my second YA novel, tentatively titled PLAYING HURT, to Flux Books!

PLAYING HURT follows the flowering of an intense summer romance between two former athletes who have both endured career-ending game-related tragedies. But by playing hurt—entering a love match with already-broken hearts—are they just setting themselves up for the kind of injury from which they could never recover?

…Stay tuned for juicy details…
