INTERVIEW + GIVEAWAY AT A GOOD ADDICTION

A fantastic interview has just been posted at A Good Addiction, along with a chance to win a signed copy of A BLUE SO DARK!

Head on over for a chance to win, and to find out if (as I discuss in the interview) I’ve ever had to keep a secret, like my main character, Aura.

…And thanks to Kari for such a great interview! It’s amazing how much you learn about yourself answering tough questions…

COVER ART FOR PLAYING HURT!

Here's my own Tuesday Teaser: Less than a month after the release of my debut YA, I've seen the cover art for my sophomore YA, a romance titled PLAYING HURT!

...And it's so fantastic! (Really...aren't Flux covers amazing?)

Can't wait to show it off!

YA AUTHORS CAFE!

I just will never quite get over how welcoming and fantastic the YA community is! Seems like two and a half seconds ago that I was reading A Room on Lorelei Street and fantasizing about having my own YA novel on the shelf…someday.

Now, Mary Pearson is interviewing me as a fellow YA author for her YA Authors Cafe!

How cool…

INTERVIEW WITH LITTLE WILLOW

Those of you who already have your hands on a copy of A BLUE SO DARK know that an interview with Allie Costa (aka Little Willow) was included in the back as a bonus feature (which was edited for space). The entire, unedited version has just been posted at Bildungsroman!

Thanks so much to Little Willow for featuring the full interview…and for such fantastic questions!

SENSATIONAL!

My interview at Cynsations went live today!

…Head on over to find out how I kept the faith as I sought my first book-length publication, and how I feel about technology in YA lit…

And thanks so much to the incredible Cynthia Leitich Smith for featuring A BLUE SO DARK!

BARNES & NOBLE & A BLUE SO DARK

Too much fun: I got a chance to stop in at my local Barnes & Noble over the weekend to sign a few copies of A BLUE SO DARK!

(And seeing the book on store shelves for the first time? Oh, yeah—total goose bump moment…)

WOW, WOW, WOW: A BLUE SO DARK REVIEWS

Early response to A BLUE SO DARK has been utterly fantastic!

Sara at The Hiding Spot brought up some super-smart points about Aura's father...Weronika Janczuk sent out a plea to buy A BLUE SO DARK...and...

VOYA had this to say:

"An excellent first novel—a definite must-read. Schindler's debut novel is a lyrical tapestry...a work of poetry."




...My cheeks have been getting a definite workout from all this smiling...

IN BLOOM—A BOUQUET OF INTERVIEWS
