If you live in Portland, you may have noticed that it's snowing in the Northwest. And where I live (in the foothills) it's not only snowy, but it's crazy icy too. And yeah, there's that hill. And the drive home at midnight...on the ice...

Trust me, this decision wasn't easy. I've agonized over it. I've watched every weather report out there, so I've seen the cars spinning out on the ice and the trucks stranded in ditches. Ultimately, being the Northwest driver that I am, I've decided I have to cancel my appearance at tonight's event :(

I feel terrible, I really really do. I'm trying to reschedule now, and will let you know as soon as I have a date for you.

Until then, bundle up and drink lots (and lots) of hot cocoa!

I'll be at Powell's Cedar Hills Crossing Store in Beaverton, Oregon this Monday, the 16th at 7:00PM, and for those of you who can't make it (yeah, I'm talking to you...*gives you the shifty eyes*), they've set up a great way for you to order signed copies online!!! It's fast, it's easy, and it's fun. Okay, maybe not fun, but it's still awesome!

And for those of you in the Portland area, I'll see you there...right???

How about FIVE FULL CHAPTERS?!?!

That's right, HarperTeen's PitchDark is giving away the first five chapters of The Last Echo (along with some other really cool Harper titles)!

Seriously, SO. COOL! I hope you guys like it!!!

Hard to believe we decided to write instead of sing, isn't it???

So the awesomely funny and talented Lara Zielin is at it again. Not only was she the creator of The Bluggie, but last week she posted this fantabulous graphic aid for those in need of book-buying skills (and, trust me, in this confusing marketplace, it was much appreciated!).

Check it out:

Isn't that awesome?!? I sorta, kinda, totally love it!!!

That I'll be in Portland, Oregon on Monday, January 16th at 7PM? No???

Well, I will!

You can come hang with me at the Powell's Cedar Hills Crossing store, where I'll be reading, answering questions, and signing with author Janet Lee Carey.

I know...it's a Monday night and you have homework/Monday Night Football/cats to feed, but come on, I really wanna see you guys! So make up some lame excuse to your teacher, set your DVR, and put out a dish of Friskies. How often do we get the chance to chat? Am I right???

See you there!!!

Okay, that title is my little play on words to let you know that The Pledge is NOW AVAILABLE on audio!!! You can listen to a sample here. Or you can get it on Audible.com, Amazon, or iTunes. (And maybe some other places too, but those are the ones I know about.)

You can probably guess from the blurb on the cover (psst, it's from me!) that I loveloveloved this fabulous book!


Congrats to SR Johannes on the release of this super fun, fast paced, thrill ride!!!!

And starting today you can get your very own copy! (For more formats, check out this link.)

They also have cinch bags similar to this one for DESIRES OF THE DEAD (except, you know, with THE PLEDGE logo on it) for just $5.75 including tax. They are super cute!!!
