If you are a member of the Washington Romance Writers, I hope you will come to listen to the panel I will be participating in this Saturday (March 13) morning. It's "YA Day" for the WRW's monthly meeting, and I will be joined on the panel by Diana Peterfreund, Elizabeth Scott, and Rhonda Stapleton, as well as moderator Amanda Brice. I'll also be hanging out for lunch and would love to chat with any and all attendees.

Each year the Cooperative Children's Book Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison puts together CCBC CHOICES, a list of books they recommend for young readers. I am very happy to announce that CANDOR is included in the "Fiction for Young Adults" list. Thanks CCBC!

Thanks to The Book Scout, Book Muncher and Cynthia Leitich Smith for posting brand-new interviews with me:

--Over at The Book Scout, hear how Sherman Golub got his first name and what kind of research I did for the book.

--And at Cynsations, find out whether I'm a "plunger" or "plotter", plus where I find the time to write (still looking for that magical "spare time" store though...)

--Learn which scene in CANDOR was the hardest to write at The Book Muncher

Fellow debut author C. Lee McKenzie interviews me today over at her blog. Find out which book I wish I had written plus what kind of sweet treats keep me motoring...

Congratulations to Patty, who found CANDOR on the shelves of the Madison Square Borders today! She is the lucky winner of a $15 gift certificate to Powell's or the indie bookstore of her choice.

Don't forget, you can still enter to win a gift certificate, up until 10/15!
