Just a warning about how I might be difficult to reach for a short time: I’ll soon be leaving New York City to spend a month at the artists colony Yaddo in Saratoga Springs, New York.

I’m excited to reveal the news about next novel, my YA debut! IMAGINARY GIRLS is the story of two sisters, their strong bond, and the dead body that threatens to break it. It’s due out from Dutton in hardcover tentatively in Summer 2011 and a second YA novel will follow a year later.

Thank you to the Kingston, NY, Barnes & Noble for hosting my Dani Noir reading yesterday—even with the weather!

I’ll be on the local Kingston, New York, radio station WKNY this Friday, February 26, at 8:45 a.m. talking about DANI NOIR and whatever else may come up—and you can listen live online on the radio station’s website; just click “Listen Live.”

For tweens and readers and friends living in the Hudson Valley: I’ll be reading from Dani Noir at the Barnes & Noble in Kingston, NY, on Saturday, February 27, at 2pm. There will also be a Q&A after. Hope you can make it!

There are two new interviews up of me—find out more in this post on the DANI NOIR book website. I’m especially excited to be a part of the Winter Blog Blast Tour 2009… be sure to check out the full schedule (and look at all the great writers involved!).

I was thrilled to get the news last week that I was accepted for a residency at Yaddo, the incredible artists colony in Saratoga Springs. Even though I will miss the city, I’m so looking forward to spending four weeks this spring on those beautiful grounds. Best of all, I will get so much writing […]

Publishers Weekly called DANI NOIR a “watertight debut.” Wow! Do you want my signature scribbled inside your very own copy? If you’ll be in New York City on Sunday, October 11, you can have just that, and more, because other authors will be there too. Here’s the info: Books of Wonder 18 West 18th Street […]
