Pictures Galore

Helllllooooo! I know, I know, I've been MIA from the blogosphere... but for good reason. The last month has been a whirlwind both professionally and personally. I've survived a move, had lots of fun at signings and events, and have been working on writing whenever there's extra time. I thought I'd share some photos to bring you up to date on some of the recent events I've participated in below.

If you haven't been able to come to any of my signings/events yet (listed HERE), I'll be at the Neshaminy Mall Barnes & Noble in Bensalem, PA on Friday, July 8th from 5-7 pm. Also, I'll be signing at the PAYA festival in West Chester, PA on August 27th. I'd love to see you at either event!

And now for the pictures:

Updates: Giveaway & Events!

So...I've been slacking a bit on the Blogger front. Shame on me! Time has slipped away from me recently. I'm so sorry & have missed you all. I'm hoping to resume a more regular blogging schedule, write an updated post about the TV info, and hold the giveaway I've been promising in the coming weeks (hopefully sooner rather than later). However, today I just wanted to post a quick update on some things you might want to check out:


Sara (Fabulous) McClung is holding a giveaway right now for a copy of my book and lots of swag over at her awesome blog, Babbling Flow. Today is the last day to enter to win. She's also reviewed The Lipstick Laws & interviewed me - woohoo! Check it all out HERE.


Tomorrow (May 21) I'll be signing books at Borders Express at the Exton Mall (Exton, PA) from 1-3pm. I would love to see you there if you're in the area!


Are you going to BEA in NYC next week? If so, please check out the many Class of 2k11 events going on that week. For a full list, CLICK HERE. I will be participating in the Books of Wonder signing on May 25 6-8pm & the Voracious Reader group signing on May 26 6-7:30pm.


If you can't make those signings (or you're stalking me), maybe you'll enjoy stopping by the Harrisburg (PA) Family Favorites Festival on June 4th. I'll be there for a YA signing with Jennifer R. Hubbard (author of The Secret Year).


I'll also be participating in a KidLit Authors Club group signing at the Borders in Stroudsburg, PA on June 18 from 1-3pm.


I hope to see you at one or more of these events! I'll have more signing/event updates through the summer as well. Stay tuned...
