Sweet Thing

So, yesterday, I got home and found this at my door:




A framed clipping of the New York Times best seller list, featuring the first week EVERMORE hit #1!! Sent by my awesome editor and publisher at St. Martin's Press--how cool is that?!

And aside from making room on my wall, I'm also getting ready for tomorrow's SCBWI Spring Retreat at the South Coast Winery Resort & Spa in Temecula where I'll be giving a little talk and signing books!!  To say I can't wait is putting it mildly! For details click HERE.

What about you? Any weekend plans!

  7. I've got huge plans. Me and a few of my friends are throwing my friend Sarah a suprise sleepover bday party tomorrow. Complete with coconut bras, leis, embarrasing pictures, the movie Lilo & Stitch, and 20 something hormonal teenage girls. It is going to be awesome! I might buy her a copy of Evermore as a present, cause I think she'd love it!

  12. Hey Anonymous-

    Well, the dramatic rights were sold to Spring Creek Productions and Warner Horizon and they want to make it into at TV series- so fingers crossed that it happens!

    Thanks for stopping by--enjoy your Sunday!

  14. Wow. I just fell more in love with St. Martin's press. I've always liked their books, but what a classy thing for them to do for their authors!
