It’s five weeks until STEADFAST comes out! I’m so psyched about the prize package we’re putting together for that … but first, have to give away ALL THE ARCs, right?

Who wants to win more books?
First of all – guys, we’re at less than six weeks to STEADFAST! Sorry for the gushing, but I’m starting to get psyched. (And if you think these contests are good, just wait until we get a little closer to launch.) (Not that these aren’t good – as you will see.) Second, congrats to the winners of the last contest:
Congrats to the winner of THE IMPOSSIBLE KNIFE OF MEMORY by Laurie Halse Anderson, THE CLOCKWORK SCARAB by Colleen Gleason and SIX MONTHS LATER by Natalie D. Richards — way to go, Courtney W! But no sooner does one contest close than another begins …
If you haven’t gotten your hands on Laurie Halse Anderson’s latest, THE IMPOSSIBLE KNIFE OF MEMORY, I know you are dying to get it. Or what about SIX MONTHS LATER, the psychological thriller from Natalie D. Richards? And there is no such thing as too much steampunk YA, particularly when the heroines are Bram Stoker’s sister and Sherlock Holmes’ niece, so you’ll want to check out THE CLOCKWORK SCARAB, too. Well, now you can win all three —
This is, of course, a movie rated R. For those of you old enough to see it, or with parents and guardians who’d take you, or just really lazy ticket takers, know that there are spoilers ahead.
If you follow my Tumblr, or Twitter, you probably know by now that I have a serious weakness for Disney’s animated films, and so will not be surprised to learn that I went to see “Frozen” Saturday night. Perhaps you will also understand my deep need to talk about the movie in astonishing detail —
At the very last moment, I can announce an appearance in the Bay Area, where I’m spending a little time this month (and finishing SORCERESS). Got some free time this Sunday? Can you get to Belmont, CA? Then I have good news: I’ll be appearing there this Sunday, December 15, at 3 pm. More details (address, contact phone) in the News & Events section. But I hope to see some of you there!
Very, very proud to announce that I’m a member of the YA Series Insiders – a brand-new group comprising authors who all have a new series launching in 2014. But while we’ll naturally be sharing news about our own upcoming titles (just try shutting me up about A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU), that’s not all we’re about. We’re going to bring you information about all your favorite series, interviews with your favorite YA authors, and plenty of giveaways. Want to see what we’ve already cooked up for you?
Here’s where I go 100% fangirl on you guys. If you haven’t seen the film yet (or, obviously, read the book), don’t go any further, because spoilers lurk within!

Chamber of Secrets, Anyone?
First up! The winner of the latest book contest is none other than Isabella, so congrats to her! I have pulled many of the songs/bands you guys recommended to listen to (dancing around to Kitten right now), so this is one of my favorite contests ever. WILL HOST AGAIN.
