I just wanted to send a BIG SPARKLY THANK YOU to all of my amazing readers who supported UNRIVALED all the way to #3 on the New York Times Young Adult E-book Best Sellers list!!

I got the news while on a writing retreat in Orlando with friends and so of course we celebrated Disney style!

Anyway, thank you for being so awesome and for your continued support over the last 11 years - you all are the absolute best!!

DARK FLAME-- a New York Times & USA Today Bestseller!

I just got the amazing news that DARK FLAME has landed THE IMMORTALS on the New York Times Bestsellers List for Children's Series at #5--and I can't thank you enough!

The Children's Series List is insanely tough as it basically pits the total number of books in any given series against each other, and with only 4 books published in THE IMMORTALS so far, it's clearly your generosity, enthusiasm, and support that has landed me there!

Oh, and I also just learned that it debuted on the USA Today Bestsellers list at #11--woo-hoo!!!

I always say I have the best readers in the world--but that's only because it's true!

So, again, thanks to each and every one of you for making my release week so special--I couldn't have done it without you!

Cheers!

Wow-Wow-WOW!!!

I just leaned that THE IMMORTALS Series has made the New York Times Children's Best Sellers list for its 52nd week straight!!!

That's one solid year on the list!!

And I owe it all to YOU.

Yes, YOU!!!

Thank you so much to all of my readers for your amazing supply of enthusiasm and support. Your messages, art work, kindness, and generosity never cease to amaze me.

You are the reason I do what I do.

And I can't thank you enough for helping to make my most far fetched dreams come true!

Cheers Everyone!

Giving Thanks!

Wow.

I just learned that the release of SHADOWLAND has landed me at #17 on the USA Today Bestsellers list, and at #5 on the New York Times Children's series Best Sellers List and I couldn't be happier--more gobsmacked--more amazed--or more grateful!

Truly.

Since it's the third book in the series it was no longer eligible for the individual NYT best sellers lists like before, and yet, with only three books out, it was directly competing with series titles featuring as many as six books or more!

And there's just no denying the huge part played by YOU!

Your enthusiasm, excitement, and support went a long way toward making this happen, and I just want to thank each and every one of you for being so dang awesome! Your letters, e-mails, messages, art work, videos--all of it--never fails to make my day--and I just want you to know how much I appreciate it!

Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!

Oh, and I just learned that EVERMORE is at #3 this week on the New York Times Best Sellers list for Children's Paperbacks--making 17 weeks on the list!!

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!

Woo-Hoo Wednesday!!

A few days ago I mentioned that YA Edge was sweet enough to choose EVERMORE for her March bookclub pick, well,  she's so cool she collected some questions from the readers which I answered HERE.

I also  did a little Q&A over at Lucid Conspiracy, a very cool blog you can check out by clicking HERE.

And today being Wednesday and all, I just got the good news that EVERMORE remains at #1 for the third week in a row on the New York Times Bestseller list for children's paperbacks!! Woo-hoo!!

Thank you Thank you Thank you to all of you who supported it!! It sounds so inadequate, I know, but I really do mean it!!

Have a good night everyone!
