More cover quote coolness

It's raining cover quotes!(IMOP, right now, is better than men, well, except Dean Winchester (Supernatural)...I'll take him rain or shine...Dean=drool worthy. Sigh, yes, Kitty has a TV Crush. Oh, sorry back to blogging, cover quote coolness no more yummy Hunters...) My editor just informed me that Joy Preble (She's my mentor with the Class of 2K9.) has given me an awesome cover quote, too! I think I'll add to the suspense and not post it...

Her book Dreaming Anastasia is an amazing read. If you guys haven't read it, check it out!

Cover Quote Coolness

I have some news. I've come down from the ceiling long enough to gather my faculties and type this post. Yesterday, my amazing, splendiferous, totally cool editor, emailed me with news. The fabu, superbly talented-writer goddess, NEW YORK BEST SELLING author Maria V. Snyder , not only read FREAKSVILLE, but she gave me an awesome quote to go on my book's cover! I know, someone please pinch me 'cuz I'm still in Neverland at the moment!


A modern day Romeo and Juliet with a wicked twist! An action-packed debut!

Halloween Treats

Halloween is my favorite holiday.This year I'm spending it with my nephews (7 &10yrs) so my sis and I made some spooktacular treats. I thought I'd share.

The mummy pizza are made with English muffins, string cheese (torn into strips) olives pizza sauce and pepperoni. The mummy dogs are hot dogs wrapped in crescent rolls that were torn into strips. The cupcakes we used licorice and jelly beans for the eyes and legs. The eyeballs were powder doughnut holes, a chip for the eye and red icing. The monster mouths are apples with sliced almonds for teeth.

A little Halloween fun

Here's a crazy-silly Halloween video for ya. A very good librarian friend of mine, Elaine, decided to surprise me with an ichat conversation I might never forget. Truly a creative way to ensure she's at the top of my list for a copy of Under My Skin. ;)



Thanks for making my Hallows Eve...um, Eve memorable, Elaine! You ROCK!
