Playing Catch Up!

Hey Everyone-

Well, it seems I've been very lax about blogging, facebooking, and tweeting lately (yes, they are all action words!), and my excuse is that I returned from the Pen Fatale Tour and went straight into deadline mode.

For those who don't know, deadline mode is a very sorry state of unwashed hair, unhealthy meals . . . well, let's just leave it at that--it's best not to go into too much detail.

For those who do know, then thank you for understanding.

Anyway, after climbing out of the rubble that is my desk, I thought I'd share a few random pics and articles and videos with you, presented in no particular order, so here goes:

Random Video #1, filmed during my Brazilian Book Tour, where I talk about The Immortals series, Brazilian culture, and more!






Random article # 2- a piece in Publisher's Weekly Children's Bookshelf where me and my fellow Pen Fatale Tour Mates spill the dish on group tours! To read it, click HERE.


Random article #3- DEAR BULLY--an amazing anthology where 70 YA authors speak out, yep, including moi, on the horror that is bullying-- featured in PEOPLE magazine--how awesome is that?!




And last but not least, random pic #4- Enjoying a little time off in Seattle with the talented & lovely Mary Pearson & Jessica Brody!



That's it for now--the manuscript won't revise itself!

Or will it?

Hmmmm . . . .

Blogger's Conference in Brazil!!

Hey Everyone!

On my third day in Brazil, my publisher, Intrinseca, hosted a blogger's conference. But, on our way to the convention hall, we stopped for lunch at a restaurant in world-famous Ipanema Beach, and I snapped a few pics along the way . . .









After lunch, it was onto the blogger's conference, where I took part in a Q&A, signed lots of the blogger's books, and meet some truly amazing people who love books & reading as much as I do!






















We wrapped up the day with an interview . . .





Then it was off to dinner and the hotel . . . (no pics of this!)!


More to come--stay tuned!

Brazil in Pictures!

Hey Everyone-

Well, it's taken me a while to get them all sorted, but over the next several days I hope to post pictures of my recent Brazilian Book Tour-- before I head off on the Pen Fatale Tour next week!

So, without further delay, here is a look at day 1--enjoy!!



The trip to Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio de Janeiro!



The first stop on Sugarloaf


The husband & I at Sugarloaf


Amazing view of Rio!


More Rio!


Even more Rio!



Ascending into the mist--didn't get pictures up there--too windy and rainy and misty--but awesome all the same!


Stay tuned--more to come!
