In the News x 2

I've been lucky enough to be featured in the Austin American-Statesman twice in the past week.

On Feb. 24th, I discussed The Brown Bookshelf and our 28 Days Later Campaign.

And today, I was featured along with the Austin Delacorte Dames - April Lurie, Margo Rabb, Jennifer Ziegler, and Shana Burg. Check us out. (And click here to see one of the pics from the photo shoot.)

Personally, I'm really hoping that Margo finds a way to fit Byron the Cowboy into her new novel. Or maybe she can save that for the sequel - Vampire Cowboy Love.

Delacorte Dames and Dude(s)

I, along with four other Austin authors, were mentioned in Publishers Weekly's Children's Bookshelf this week! This just further proves that all Children's and YA authors should move to Austin!
