When I was in NYC back in October 2010, I went to my publisher's studio and answered some questions about Freefall. They recently put the video up on YouTube and the official Simon & Schuster website. You can check out it out here!
I did a guest post over at Lindsay Robertson's blog about how a girly girl such as myself learned to write my teen male narrator. It also includes the first paragraph I EVER wrote for the manuscript that became Freefall. Please check it out and cringe with me! :-)
Back in December 2010, Kari at A Good Addiction did a post she called "Ladies and Their Tramps" with a list of characters for whom she'd done some unique matchmaking. In that post, she paired up Kendall from Freefall with Harlin from Suzanne Young's forthcoming A Need So Beautiful. Today, in her newest edition of Ladies and Their Tramps, Kari has put Rosetta from Freefall with Lend from Kiersten White's Paranormalcy. And now poor Seth is all alone!
Hey! Do you think Kari's trying to find guys for all the Freefall girls so she can keep Seth for herself? ;-)
Seriously, though, it's so fun for me to see how these characters can live on in readers' imaginations outside of the constructs of the book that I wrote! And these posts definitely make me want to check out A Need So Beautiful and Paranormalcy so that I can see if I agree with Kari's matchmaking!
The book blog Murphy's Library is hosting a Q&A with me! If you stop by their blog and fill out the form by Friday, January 21th, they will collect questions for me about Freefall and/or my writing. My answers to those questions will be posted on their blog on Tuesday the 25th.
You guys! There's a vlog that's been sitting on my YouTube channel for almost two months, which I forgot to make public! Oops. (And by "forgot," I mean that I kept putting it off and then I forgot.) But that has all been changed now!
Fun facts about this one:
1. It was filmed at a park near my house at the end of the summer. Summer! *sob*
2. Once again, there was street traffic, which kept making me have to stop and start over again and oh my goodness why do pretty places have to be so noisy???
3. I didn't watch this one until today. Because you know how I feel about seeing myself/hearing my voice. Auuuuuugggggghhhhhhh!
