Gaithersburg Book Festival

I'm really excited to let you all know that I'm going to be at the Gaithersburg Book Festival this Saturday, May 16 from 11 to 12. It will be a We Need Diverse Books panel and it will be with an amazing line up!! Gene Luen Yang, Tracey Baptiste and Aisha Saeed!!! My youngest is beside herself with joy because she has read and loved both Gene's The Shadow Hero and Tracey's The Jumbies! And I can tell you that Aisha's Written in the Stars is an incredibly moving, emotional novel that will send you on a roller coaster ride of emotions. So yeah, I'm part of this amazing panel and I couldn't be more excited!

So if you are in the area, please come to the Gaithersburg Book FEstival, this is one of the BEST festivals out there so don't miss it!!

KING is officially out today!!

It is the finale!! I am very proud of it. Very proud of finishing the series. And sad to leave it behind. I did a post for Diversity in YA here on Taekkyon and finishing the series. Please go check it out. And if you haven't read the first in the series, please take advantage of the fact that Prophecy is only $1.99 on all ebook platforms right now!!

YA Scavenger Hunt 2015

Hello Everyone! I'm part of the Spring 2015 YA Scavenger Hunt! There are eight outstanding teams this season. I am going to be a part of #TeamTeal! The Scavenger Hunt runs from April 2nd through April 5th beginning and ending at noon Pacific time on those days. If you've never been a part of the hunt before you should give it a try. It runs like a giant blog hop, introducing you to new YA authors and books along the way. There are tons of prizes including a grand prize for each team. If you win one of the grand prizes you will get a book from each author on that team! For more information and to make sure you get hunt updates, sign up for news on the #YASH website.  You don't want to miss out on this fabulous and fun event, but play fast because the hunt is only live for three days. So come back on April 2nd!!
