So, What Happened to Me?





(Photo: Ben Aqua)

Nothing. I've been working, working, working! I'll get back to posting more regularly soon. I promise!

In the meantime, check me out on the Today Show. I'll be there on May 27th between 9:30 and 10:00am to discuss the wonderful world of Kiki Strike.

Watch, and you'll learn the answers to the following questions . . .

1. Is she really as unbelievably charming as everyone says?
2. Did she finally have that parasitic twin removed?
3. Will she be able to form coherent sentences while in the presence of HER PERSONAL HERO, Mr. Al Roker?

Questions that may not be answered . . .

1. Is that REALLY her?
2. Is that a disguise or does her hair always look like that?
3. What's up with the strange foreign accent?

(If you happen to be attending the BEA, I'll be there later that afternoon. Stop by and say hi!)

I have a question for you: how do you decide which comments will be allowed on the blog?

Ariana said...

Could you post the video of it on the blog? I won't be able to watch it when it airs. Thanks!

Alicia said...

So glad you are posting again! Lioness and I were talking about how we could not wait. I will be sure to catch you on the show!!

COOL

Kirsten Miller said...

Julia: All comments get posted unless they have foul language or are REALLY mean spirited. But I get A LOT of spam these days, and I think one of your comments might accidentally have been deleted as spam. Sorry about that! I meant to apologize earlier.

Kitty said...

MushroomCloud said...

MushroomCloud said...

montana irregulars said...

YAY!!! you're back!!! we missed you!!!!!

montana irregulars said...

I have a few questions for you:
1. were do you fine all the awesome storys for your blog?
2.the artist who drew the "greetings from shadow city" postcards name is Stephanie Gladden Miller, so I was wondering if you're related or its just a coincdence??
3. do you have any pets??
4. does the title or the 3rd kiki strike book refur to another underground exploring group in paris in the book??
that thought just poped into my head this morning

Karen said...

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

montana irregulars said...

sorry if that was to many questions.....

Kirsten Miller said...

Montana Irregulars:

1. I spend a lot of time wasting time and surfing the Internet.

2. Nope. She's friends with my sister, but she isn't related.

3. No, but I'm contemplating the purchase of a guinea pig.

4. It refers to TWO underground groups in Paris! heehee

charstar said...

cant wait yay.
I think we get the today show on our tv mabby well if not I kan go on there web site cant wait!

Poison Pen said...

MWAH! Most excellent--that's the week after I'm out for the summer, so I'll be able to watch! YES!!!

And Kirsten, don't consider--purchase. Guinea pigs are amazing, like gigantic hamsters. Or, you could get a rat or a mouse--just as fun, but they creep some people out. My friend has an albino rat named Presley who is quite possibly the most awesome domesticated rodent history has ever known. Not kidding. :)

Kitty said...

I second what PoisonPen said... Guinea pigs are absolutely adorable!!! X3 The only problem I heard about them is that they're noctunal...?

Erin_Flight said...

I might watch that. I not into TV so I have never actually seen the today show before. Guess I'll give it a try.

montana irregulars said...

thanks!!! I think you should get a giant rat, it would go with the theam or the book, or you could name your guina pig rat.....

montana irregulars said...

or a south american capybara!!!

Nikki M said...

Would you be able to post a video of the today show on your blog(when you are on it)?
I wont be able to watch it on air.
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOO MUCH!

Al Fonzo said...

Can't wait to see you on the today show!! I only have TWO questions.

Are those ouroboros rings you got, going to be for sale?

and

Is the Shadow City going to be back up soon??

That's it.

Thanks,

AVB

Alicia said...

Kristen: Thank you! I think it is so cool that you answer people, so yay for me and montana. My friend Lioness who reads Kiki passionately had several rats and she loved them to death. i think rats are excellent choices, very tidy, and not at all scary or plague-carrying. And I can recommend guinea pigs. They are wonderful!

Some Lost Melody said...

Nooooooooooooooooooooo I'll be at school grr and I'm not like Ananka skipping school or falling asleep in class lol.

Greenwolf said...

Post it please! for those of us not in America.
Please! If you can..

kathleen said...

Darn! I'm going to be at space camp the 27th for my class trip. I MUST RECORD THE TODAY SHOW!

ForresterVA said...

It's times like this I wish I had cable. -sigh- Can you post it on the blog? Maybe I'll look it up on youtube......

montana irregulars said...

I have one final question, do you use a mac or a pc???
I'm an apple girl and I was just wondering

Kirsten Miller said...

MI: Mac!!

invisiblefireworkS said...

Anonymous said...

my friend katy's birthday is on friday and she's been a big fan of your books can you maybe do something for her, like a shout out here? she'd love that. thanks

montana irregulars said...

To anonymous: that's funny my name is Katy too!! But my birthday isn't Friday. I didn't think another Katy with a "t" and a "y" would like kiki strike!!

lucy said...

Yasmin said...

Kirsten,

You did awesome on The Today Show!! Your book definitely deserves a 5!

I am so angry with myself, I totally forgot to record it! I was in the middle of math class and I was so close to screaming "ANNA YOU ARE SO STUPID!" in the middle of a quiz.
Can you post the video on your blog?

PS: This is Anna... The one who regularly comments here. Someone hacked into my account and changed my password, so I'm going anon until I find out who did it!

EQ said...

NOOOOO!! *shock and betrayal* YOU are an apple collaborator? (no offense intended)

Linux forever!

I never pictured you using apple...figured the whole "world-would-be-better-place-if-everyone-used-apple-therefore-we-will-make-our-products-incompatible-with-practically-everything-else" control freak thing would be off-putting for the chronicler of the irregulars.

That said, I am a citizen of the Silicon Valley, so I may be overreacting.

A little.

Kirsten Miller said...

EQ: Believe me, I have no desire to help Mr. Jobs conquer the universe. I merely have very little talent for the computer sciences (or whatever you call them) and must turn to the most user-friendly devices! It's my secret shame. (Oh, and I think Apple products are pretty. And I'm a sucker for good design.)
