We’re at three weeks until A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU makes its debut in the United States.

Well, if you’re eager to read the book, I bet you want some gorgeous swag, too. Happily for all of us, several fantastic independent bookstores have joined forced to help promote the release!

Only TWO MONTHS until A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU launches on Nov. 4! I’ve been looking forward to you guys reading this one for so long that it’s hard to believe the wait is nearly over.

Before I go any further, congratulations are due to the winner of the Pinterest board contest for A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU: Way to go, Caroline T.! She wins the YA book of her choice.

Basically, some people have noticed that we are having fun when we read, and they just can’t stand it.

So this is Wattpad, hmm?
First of all, huge congratulations go out to Tenisha, the winner of the A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU cover contest! But thanks go to every single one of you who entered. The response to the cover and the book has been beyond my wildest dreams, and I’m deeply grateful for every single entry, tweet, Goodreads shelving, you name it. This week’s contest will be a lot simpler. Yes, there’s a brand new contest —
I’ve been teasing you guys with bits and pieces of info about A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU, but until last week we didn’t have a final cover. But now we have one! Do you want to see it? You do. You really, really do.

Now I’m on to finalizing the outline for the second book in the Firebird trilogy, the follow-up to A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU. No title yet – A THOUSAND something OF something, I would imagine. But soooooo many fun things just waiting to be written …
OK, the part of the song about bringing my baby back home is not true. Also, technically, I will be in Independence, MO, instead of KC. But if you live in that area, I’m headed your way!
The grand-prize winner of the STEADFAST launch contest is … drum roll please …
