Hey campers,

I’m so sorry about the website having a temporary meltdown. How very Hollywood of it. But it should be fixed now. Theo, my god of technology tells me it is all good now, and I believe him. (I just looked it up and everything seemed cool. I murmured to it, “Who’s a pretty, pretty website? Who’s gonna be a good, good website and behave? You are! That’s right, you are!)*

I’m making my way through first-pass pages (copyedited manuscript) of The Sweet Far Thing right now and up to my eyeballs but I’ll update later.

BUT…I just wanted to say that I will be reading at the Brooklyn Book Festival tomorrow, Sunday 9/16 at 2:00pm. I’ll be on a panel with New York Times bestselling authors Cassie Clare (City of Bones) and Melissa Marr (Wicked Lovely). We’re speaking about dark fantasy. Ooooh! What shoes, what shoes…**

So here’s the website for more info: www.brooklynbookfestival.org

And yes, I will be reading from THE NEW BOOK! MWAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!***

I hope to see you New York people there!

***Just bought a copy of Evil Laughs for Dummies on the internet. I’m working my way through the “I’m Going to Hold the World Ransom” chortle, the “I’m Drunk with Power” guffaw, and the “Let Me Tell You All the Ways I Am Going to Kill You First” chuckle.
