Hush

Friday Five

5.  I'm tearing apart Crescendo and editing my soul away.  Off the record, I suppose it's a little bit fun, but don't quote me on that.  For the love of Jove, never quote me on that!
 
4.  What am I reading, you ask?  HEX HALL by Rachel Hawkins, and I'm putting aside everything else this weekend to finish it.  My sides hurt from how hard I've been laughing.  HEX HALL won't be released until March 2010, and it's going to be a long wait.  I want the hardcover NOW!  (Rachel, can you hear me down in Alabama?) 
 
3.  Simon & Schuster's BLOGFEST 2009 is coming up super soon.  I'll be there.  Stephanie Burgis will be there.  Lots of other authors will be there.  Will you? 



2.  It's been a while since I talked about shoes.  I think I mentioned last month that I bought a pair of hot orange heels for my trip to Toronto, which was rescheduled due to passport issues, in particular birth certificate issues with my name typed incorrectly.  Got to love that.  But after a month of getting everything worked out, the typo will be fixed and my birth certificate will once again bear my one and true name.  It's a good feeling.  Anyway, my trip to Toronto is going forward, which means I get to wear the orange heels!  I don't want to jinx anything with a picture, but trust me, when I get to Toronto, I'll make sure to get a pic of me wearing them.
 
1.5  I have a blurb!  And even though I'd seriously be content with that, it's a blurb from one of my all-time favorite authors!   Let me calm down long enough to type it...hang on...almost there...okay, here we go:

"Hush, Hush has great atmosphere, and had me wondering where in the world -- or out of the world --
this story could go. If the guys had been this dangerous and delicious when I was in high school, I would
never have wanted to graduate! I see more fallen angel stories coming from this talented writer."
-- Sandra Brown, bestselling author of White Hot and Smoke Screen

 
1.  My publisher is giving away 300 limited edition posters to celebrate the release of HUSH, HUSH.  US only.  To enter
the sweepstakes, head on over to S&S.com.  

 
Um, I still have one more thing.  Hopefully I'm allowed to squeeze in another.

0.5.  I started the First Look Book Club over at B&N.com this week, and all I can say is what an experience!  Special thanks to
the book club members a.k.a. readers, and to B&N for the opportunity!
