1. I am starting a critique collaboration with Tara Kelly, Jessica Spotswood, and Elizabeth Richards. We each have two published novels with more on the way. All four of us love to critique query letters and manuscripts. We're offering competitive pricing for a variety of services and even student discounts on full MS critiques. Our official launch date is October 1. Come check us out at Manuscript Critique Services.
2. I am participating in YASH, the YA Scavenger Hunt which will run from Oct 3rd to October 6th. I will be giving away a signed copy of BELLADONNA, as well as running a secondary international contest for a gift card to Powell's Books. My exclusive material is a deleted scene from BELLADONNA, as well as a little teaser from STARLING. There are 60 authors participating this year! If you love books, you don't want to miss YASH.
3. It has come to my attention that some of you have not read the amazing GOING BOVINE, one of my favorite books of all time, so I will be rambling on about its awesomeness on the YA Valentines blog on October 8th. If you have not read it, come find out why you should.
4. My cover reveal for my first contemp, THE ART OF LAINEY, will be on October 9th at Ensconced in YA. I don't want to give away all of the fun details, but let's just say if you ever wanted to be in a book, you should probably stop by and enter the contest :)
5. I will be launching a Paula Stokes website/blog in October. More info on that soon. I will still post relevant Fiona-esque things here.
6. Someone left this random sunflower in the hallway of my building and it brightened my day. I have decided I really like sunflowers :)
That's all I got! Happy reading, writing, and whatever :)
MY EMAIL SUBSCRIPTION DOESN'T WORK *cries*
ReplyDeleteBut anyways hey, hi, hello!

YASHHHHHHHH. THIS IS HOW I DISCOVERED ALMSOT ALL MY BOOKS. Before I found Goodreads I mean. And WOWs.
Sunflowers are pwetty. :3
Mayyyybe (on the character).
ReplyDeleteThis is my first YASH, as you know. I'm excited :D I also found some books I wanted to read when I browsed through the list.
Hi fiona! I'm absolutely in love with the orders of the eternal rose series! But I'm totally confused, is starling the last book or are you writing forbidden?
ReplyDeleteYay! Glad you like the books :) The 3rd book was originally called FORBIDDEN. The decision to change the title to STARLING was made in March of 2013, after the VENOM paperbacks had already gone to the printer. That's why the back of the paperback says FORBIDDEN.
DeleteBut no, there are only 3 books and the 3rd is called STARLING.
