Dark Days Ahead . . . or Behind, Actually

I haven't updated the blog in a while. Mainly because I've been nervous about the prospect of waiting on the not-so-happily trigger-fingered agents to get back to me, but also because there hasn't been much going on in my life, other than summer university courses (Social Psych and American Geology--oh joy!).

Last night, however, that changed. I went to the Dark Days Tour stop in Columbus on Thursday, June 7th, and got a signed copy of Veronica Roth's Insurgent! While there, I also met, had pictures taken with, and got signatures from: Bethany Griffin, Aprilynne Pike, and Elizabeth Norris. Also, Rae Carson just happened to be there, so I got a signature from her, as well.

Double Veronica, Double the Fun: Veronica Roth and Me.

Me with Bethany Griffin, author of Masque of the Red Death, a re-imagining of Poe's classic short story.


And last but not least, Me with Liz Norris, author of Unraveling.

In other news, all the waiting and not-writing of the querying process has gotten on my nerves to the point that I've started a new book! It's tentatively titled Codename Eagle Chick, and I'll have a pitch, synopsis, etc. out on it soon! I'm also participating in Camp Nanowrimo's June session, so drop me a line if you want to be writing buddies!
