User Profile

SHORT VERSION: I write stuff (as my job these days). My blog is kinda random. When I can, I talk about writing, travel, tattoos, books, & whatever strikes me that day. Sometimes, I just do blog data type updates, so I can go play or write. I DO read all comments.

LONGER VERSION:
In 2007, HarperCollins published my first novel, WICKED LOVELY in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, & New Zealand. In Germany (Carlsen Verlag) publishes the YA; HörbuchHamburg does the audio; and Piper Verlag publishes the "parallel adult editions" (same content, new format). WL also is or will be published in Sweden (Damm Forlag), Finland (Werner Soderstrom Oy), Denmark (Forlaget Sesam), Spain (Salamandra), Italy (Fazi Editore), Indonesia (Gramedia), Turkey (Artemis Yayinlari), France (Albin Michel), China (Shanghai 99 Readers’ Culture Co Ltd), Romania (RAO International Publishing Co), Japan (Tokyo Sogensha Co., Ltd), Estonia (Pegasus), Poland (Nasza Ksiegarnia), Vietnam (Innovative Publishing & Media Corp), Brazil (EDITORA ROCCO), Hungary (Kelly Kiado), Russia (Azbooka). I am quite grateful that my books have found so many fabulous homes.

INK EXCHANGE was released in the US & Canada in 2008. FRAGILE ETERNITY released in April 2009. (Yes, both books are being published in most of the aforementioned places as well.)

RADIANT SHADOWS (the 4th faery novel) will release in the US & Canada in April 2010.

The 5th faery novel (which concludes the series) will released in the US in 2011.

The first volume in a 3 book manga series (art by Xian Nu studios) DESERT TALES released April 09. (The 2nd volume releases March 2010, & the final one will be out in 2011.)

I am represented by Merrilee Heifetz of Writers House.

FRIENDS: If you friend (& please always feel invited to friend/defriend at will), I'd love it if you post a "hello" note somewhere. I used to auto-friend back, but I seem to have been outnumbered by you now. Sorry!

I READ EVERY COMMENT LEFT ON THE BLOG. I DON'T ALWAYS REPLY, BUT I READ EVERYTHING :)

ANON POLICY: I screen & sometimes delete anonymous replies (to ward against roaming trolls). Please sign your name, even if it's just a first name or a screen-name :) If you have a writing or arts related website, a blogspot acct, or other journal acct, I'd invite you to include a link.
