Hello there stranger s

You may not remember me. I was this blogger/writer/psychologist who disappeared a month ago, buried under deadlines and copy edits and wild new project excitement.

I'm back!

How are you guys? I feel so disconnected, and have thought of you often in the past few weeks. How about if I give you my updates--and then you can give me yours?

Here are mine:

First round revisions for SCAN are DONE. Hoping the editor is pleased!

I have the just-about final cover for SANCTUM! It's so beautiful, and I'm absolutely thrilled. This cover process could not have been better, and I can't wait to unveil it! More details on that in the very near future.

Copy edits for SANCTUM are done! In fact, the ARCs are being printed! Meep! I'm both giddy and horrifically nervous.

I have some very exciting website/SANCTUM extra things in the works, and I will be talking about those later this month!

I AM GOING TO BE AT BEA at the beginning of June. Oh, man. When I got that call from my editor, I was (am) both terrified and over-the-moon excited. Amazon party at this place. Book signing. Having to wear pants and look presentable. Gah.

Also, this happened:

And this happened:

(Oscar Bestseller is an imprint of Mondadori)

That's mostly it for me. There are a few more things I'll talk about in separate posts. And wow--the happenings in the YA and general publishing community over the last few weeks! I'll be posting my thoughts on some of those in the near future.

But now--what's happening with you? Anything exciting to report?
