Welcome to the Selection family, Mr. Ethan Peck. Gotta say, he's a total cutie. Approved! Also, now that I know he played a young Kelso on an episode of That 70's Show, I'm totally onboard. ;)
Congrats, Ethan!
We have our America!
If you missed me shouting about this on twitter and FB, I just want to let you know that America Singer has been cast for the pilot of The Selection! For all you Friday Night Lights fans, I'm sure you already know Miss Aimee Teegarden. She's absolutely lovely, and I can't wait to see what she does with the role.
Congratulations, Aimee!
Book News, News, The Selection
Red Tree and Facebook
I’m excited to announce that my agent Elana has started her own boutique literary agency, Red Tree Literary. I’m happy to be with an agent who is so very enthusiastic about the select projects she’s chosen and is keeping things on the small side so we all get personal attention. Very excited!
Also, HarperTeen has created a Facebook page for The Selection. If you go like the page, you can read the first few chapters and enter to win an advance copy of the book! Good luck!
Heading to the Small Screen?
Well, maybe! It was announced today on EW.com, MTV.com, and also by my mother that the CW has picked up The Selection for a pilot! I'm very excited to see where this goes, and I'll keep you updated as soon as anything new pops up about the potential series.
Also! Come visit me this Friday, Feb. 3rd at 9PM EST on BlogTV. I'll be answering questions and giving away buttons!
'ello, Gov'nah!
I'm super pleased to share that The Selection will be released in the UK, New Zealand, and Austalia!
EEEEEEEEE!
Some really exciting news:
Cover Art!
Here it is:
If you'd like, I also made a silly video about it and a blog post about how we created this look. I'm absolutely giddy about this, and I'm so happy to finally be able to share the art with you!
Also, in totally unrelated news, I did a little post over at Dear Teen Me. Go check out what I would say to my teenage, frizzy-haired, Backstreet Boy-loving self.
I'm Official!
I am now listed as an author at HarperTeen.com and HarperCollins.com! Please go see the lovely things Miss Pink Tazer herself, Kiersten White, had to say about The Selection! Aaaaand, now that you can see it, I think it's okay to tell you that the release date for The Selection is:
April 24, 2012!!!
Brave New Love, News, The Selection
Dates & Art!
Okay, first up BRAVE NEW LOVE has an offical release date on Amazon of March 6, 2012! Wahoo! Go ahead and pre-order today. Maybe get a scarf while you're at it. Fall is just around the corner... that's all I'm sayin.
Also, if you missed the memo, I got to share a sneak peek of the cover art. It's just a hint of things to come, and I hope you like it!
Overdue Update
A few weeks ago, I found out that The Selection will be translated in France and Germany! I’m so excited about this and can’t wait to see what happens with my little story overseas. So bonjour and guten tag to all the new readers!
Also, I've seen the cover art, and I have to tell you it's sooooo beautiful! I'm not sure when I'll be able to share, but trust me, it's worth the wait. :)
Two Things:
First, I just want you all to know I'll be haning out a BEA on Thursday, May 26th, and I'll be participating in the author speed dating at the Book Blogger Con on Friday, May 27th. There's more info on the events page, so check it out, and I hope I see some of you there.
Second, if you'd like to maybe win a galley of The Selection, please consider giving to my friends Rob & Jess.
Short Story Goodies!

Almost an Update
Wahoooooooo!
I'm so excited to share this news! I heart CJLA and HarperTeen!
Lies!
Okay, so I totally lied about being able to update more, but I have a really good reason! I've been working hard on my new project, THE SELECTION, and finally got a wicked awesome agent to represent it. You can follow both my agent and the team on Twitter. Oh yeah, and I'm finally on twitter, too.
Stay tuned. Very soon I'll be posting parts of THE SIREN that I edited out. Thought you might enjoy some of the extras.
Contests, The Selection, The Siren
Congrats!
Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of updates, but being a new mom is harder than you'd think! Congrats to Ashley, winner of the I Want Your Name contest for making an awesome video and getting her name into my next bit of fiction. Hopefully now that life is starting to get normal again, I'll be able to post things more often. Thanks for being patient! Oh, and here's Ashley's video:
