Time to dig out my winter coat!
This blog will be on hiatus for the next week while I’m on tour, continuing the launch of Feral Nights (Book 1 in the Feral series) and Eternal: Zachary’s Story, illustrated by Ming Doyle (Tantalize series)(both Candlewick).
My schedule includes school and library visits as well as university and bookstore events. Many are private, but the following are open to the public and I hope to see some of you there!

Last week’s highlight was Library Palooza 2013: That Author Thing at Brandeis High School in San Antonio. Thank you to the amazing planners, volunteers, my fellow authors, the teen readers, and Barnes & Noble for making the festival such a success!
