Mark Your Calendar & Meet Me

-
If you've never been to the Surrey International Writer's Conference, you're missing out. Not only is it in one of the most beautiful places in the world (Surrey, BC), it is a fantastic conference renowned the world over for its excellent cariculum. I am a bit biased because I love Canada, but truly, it is an excellent conference. This year, I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be signing at the Surrey Book Fair on Saturday October 20th starting at 5:30pm during the conference. I'm crazy excited, and not just because I have a wonderful excuse to go to Canada.

I'll be signing alongside two of my good friends, Cheri Lasota and Stacey Wallace Benefiel. To make it even more fun, we're carpooling up there! We're going to have such a blast, I can hardly wait.

If you live anywhere near Surrey, or even if you don't and you're just dying to meet us, I hope you'll mark your calendar and come see us at the Surrey Book Fair this month so we're not sitting at our tables all alone. Did I mention that super agent Donald Maass will be there signing as well?! After seeing him, come see us! We'll be the one's with a giant bowl of Halloween candy on our table. And if no one drops by to buy our signed books, we'll just have to eat it all by ourselves. :)

    I forgot it that time of the year again. Unfortunately it's a twelve hour drive to Surrey. So I won't be going. Have a great time, Heather!

Banned Books Week Hop And Giveaway

Today I'm post-poning the creature feature to take part in a very important blogfest honoring banned books. It was brought to my attention by the fantastic I Am A Reader Not A Writer blog . Nearly every one of the great Ellen Hopkins's novels has been banned somewhere. She writes about things that challenge kids today, sex, drugs, prostitution, terrible things for sure, but things kids are dealing with whether we like it or not. Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak, about a girl who is raped, is banned in many places. Others may surprise you such as The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares, Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling, The House of Night novels by P.C. Cast, The Golden Compass novels by Philip Pullman, and the Vampire Academy novels by Richelle Mead. There are so many more that it saddens me to go on. I've recently learned that my own novel, The Secret of Spruce Knoll, will not be carried in my most local bookstore because of an intense scene in it. I unde...
