Upcoming events in the Charlotte area this week!
Hey Y'all! I had an AMAZING time up in NYC and I can't wait to tell you more about it... but my first pass pages for The Dead-Tossed Waves are due today which means I'll have to wait until tomorrow or Weds before I fill you in on all the details of my trip :)
But I did want to tell y'all about a few events I have this week for Teen Read Week! Tomorrow I'm doing two visits to the Freedom Regional Library, but I'm not sure those are open to the public. The other two events definitely are open to the public and I'd love to see you there!
I'm really looking forward to these! And here's my question for y'all as I'm putting together my program. Usually I've spoken to groups who've read The Forest of Hands and Teeth already and I'm fairly certain that some of these groups won't have. What do you like to see in an author presentation (if you've read their book or if you haven't?). Thanks!!

NYC trip this year and last year
This time last year I was typing up my resignation letter. Okay, I was probably staring around my office a bit freaked out and a lot excited about the step I was about to take (and I was also probably cramming in as much CLE as I could to keep up my law license which I still have active).
Actually, I was freaking out about the pending trip to NYC to kick off my pre-publication tour. Yep, I quit work on Friday and on Sunday I was in New York with my friend Diana Peterfreund (we must have hit like five bookstores that day) and going out to dinner with Justine Larbalestier and Scott Westerfeld. That Monday I met my editor and publicist in person for the first time, did my first school visits, attended a meet and greet at Random House Children's books where I met so many amazing people, grabbed a drink with my agent and editor, headed to an awe-inspiring dinner that was just so perfect in every way there's no way I could ever describe it (and where thankfully I got through my speech without crying or hyperventilating) and then capped off the evening having drinks with my agent. It was a divine whirlwind that exceeded every day dream I ever could have had.
Tomorrow I'm going up to New York again. And what I love is that this time, my nerves are a lot lower (though still there!) and my excitement is through the roof! I can't wait to see everyone again and perhaps not be quite so overwhelmed and speechless (though really, I don't see any way to walk into the RHCB's offices and not be stunned). This time I'm pretty sure I'll be able to eat something during the meals we have planned (last time I was WAY too nervous to eat which is a shame because the dinner they planned had fantastic looking food!).
Squee! I'm so excited! And there's nothing more fun than being able to be excited without freaking out :) Now of course I just have to go pack :)
Once again, here are the details of my event up there, and there will be a signing afterward! Can't wait to see y'all there!!!

Event in NYC October 15th!
Hey y'all! I'm super excited about an upcoming event I'm doing with Scott Westerfeld, Michael Grant and James Dasnher! Here are the details (and here's a link to the event page):
I've heard rumors that this will be recorded and might even be streamed live so that could be awesome! I'm assuming there will also be a signing afterward but will confirm that for sure in the next day or so.
I can't tell you how much I've been looking forward to this event! Not only because I love all these authors but also because I'm so excited to see what they have to say about writing in post-apocalyptic worlds. Oh, and I'm also SUPER excited to be going to New York -- so many people I'm hoping to run into!!! So you all totally have to come!!
