NYC TEEN AUTHOR FEST!

Things have been so entirely hectic around here that I haven't even gotten to blog about my awesome experience at FIELDSTONE MIDDLE SCHOOL's CAREER DAY, which was already two weeks ago! I will share the photos and fun soon, but right now I have to make sure you all know about the SECOND ANNUAL NYC TEEN AUTHOR FESTIVAL going on this week in, well, New York City. There are a bunch of awesome events, including various panels on writing, lots of readings and even a concert given by TIGER BEAT, the only all-ya-author band in the world! That I know of anyway.

For my part, I will be participating in the FIVE BOROUGH READ this Thursday am in STATEN ISLAND, baby! I'll be reading from my upcoming book SHE'S SO DEAD TO US, so if you're one of the lucky schools that's field-tripping to the WEST NEW BRIGHTON library that morning, you'll get to hear some of it before it hits stores.

I'll also be participating in the HUGE signing at BOOKS OF WONDER (18 W. 18th Street) on Sunday 3/21. There will be 77 authors signing their books throughout the day. My particular slot is from 4:15 to 5, and I feel lucky that I'm going to be there with a few of my friends, including Elizabeth Scott, Courtney Sheinmel and Sara Shepard. (It's alphabetical. Catch that?)I hope to see you there!
