I’m excited to tell you that I was just awarded a new fiction residency! I’ll be a resident at the Millay Colony in November 2012, where I’ll get to stay for four weeks and work on a new novel.

Some of you visiting this site may already know this, but to anyone who doesn’t: I keep a writing blog called distraction no. 99, and I’ve been expanding it with new and exciting features lately…

I just revealed the title of my next novel, forthcoming from Dutton Books in 2013…

Today is the day I’m excitedly revealing the cover of Fade Out—a book you may remember as Dani Noir—on my blog! Curious? Want to see how gorgeous it is?

If you know me even a little, you know how much I love—love, love, love, love, love—the cover of Imaginary Girls. Now I have a chance to love a new cover for the book… because the paperback cover is a whole new look. Wanna see?

I’m so excited to tell you this news: My tween novel Dani Noir (originally published in 2009 by Aladdin) is getting a second life… on the YA shelves from Simon Pulse!

I finished up a few fall appearances and want to thank the bookstores and library that hosted me for recent events…

I’m excited to announce that I was awarded a residency at the Djerassi Resident Artists Program in Woodside, California, for the upcoming 2012 season!

There are two places where you can hear me talking about Imaginary Girls online—one in a podcast and one on the radio.

I was excited to be considered faculty at this year’s WriteOnCon online writing conference, and I’d love to share the post I wrote here.

I’m excited to announce that an audio book of Imaginary Girls will be available very soon—this January!
