Hi. Welcome to the site. |
Both Fakie and Outrage have been chosen for ALA's 2009 Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers. Fakie is a 2010-2011 Nebraska Golden Sower Young Adult Nominee. |
News: 3.8.2010 And in the "I Shoulda Told You This Before" category: I was a guest blogger Saturday at the Teens Read Too Blogspot. Go there anyway and see many YA writers and enter for giveaways. I'll probably lurk around there for the rest of the week in case you want to talk. 3.7.2010 I have a lot to update. A week ago I had the pleasure of speaking at the Young Author's Conference in Laurel, DE. I'm always blown away by the talent and creativity. We talked about creating the perfect character. Here's Marshall spinning the Wheel of Dysfunction. 1.25.2010. Fakie was featured on Good Morning Connecticut on Saturday. Here's the clip. Feel free to comment on the news site. And you can visit author/illustrator Katie Davis' site as well. Someday I'm going to have a cool flash site too. 1.21.2010. We're in the cover-design stage for One Last Scar. I'll post it soon, so you can have a sneak peak. 1.12.2010. I posted some new visits. Come by and say hi. At the conferences, I'll be unveiling The Wheel of Dysfunction! It'll be fun. 1.02.2010. Happy New Year! The fall issue of WriteNow!, the University of Delaware English dept alumni magazine, came out last week with a nice article about Fakie, Outrage, One Last Scar, and reluctant readers. They will probably post it directly on line here. But until then, I posted a pdf here. 12.23.09 I'm finishing up the final edits for One Last Scar due out in March/April from HIP. This one's about an home invasion. It has fighting, mystery, and humor. I should have the cover for you in January. Til then, Happy Holidays! Personally, I'm asking for a new skimboard. 11.11.09 I opened my mailbox to find my first hardback copy of Fakie yesterday. I like it. I got mine at the ordering page for Follet.com. You can get the whole Nebraska Golden Sower Nominee list at Permabound. Both sites require you to log in. |
