Lots of News!!




So the giveaway went really well! (And in case you're wondering, yes, it's over for now!) There are far fewer books cluttering my shelves--and dozens of you will receive packages over the next few days.

Don't worry if it takes a little while for your books to get to you! I've had to make multiple trips to the post office, and I still have one more load to take.

Now for some news . . .

I'm pleased to report that The Darkness Dwellers and How to Lead a Life of Crime have been receiving fantastic reviews! (BTW, if you've gotten a copy of either book from me, feel free to post a review on Goodreads or Amazon if you have the time!) And next week, I'm kicking off a blog tour for The Darkness Dwellers. Links to all interviews and guest posts will be here!

And I just received hardcover copies of How to Lead a Life of Crime. (Picture above.) They look absolutely AMAZING. I think the two covers (the book's dust jacket is reversible) are my new favorites. I'll be giving away copies soon, so stay tuned. (I may do the giveaway via Twitter, tho. We'll see.)



Last, but not least, if you live in New York, you'll want to be at Symphony Space on February 3rd! They're hosting a celebration of one of the greatest girl detectives of all time--Harriet the Spy! I'll be there, along with the fabulous and hilarious Michael Buckley (author of The Sisters Grimm and N.E.R.D.S.) and the wonderful Rebecca Stead (Liar and Spy). It's going to be an amazing day!

The covers are so beautiful!!! And yes, please please do it via the blog, because not everyone has a twitter account, but everyone can view your blog.

If we received an ARC of The Darkness Dwellers, can we submit a review to the person in

...the person mentioned near the front of the book? I think it's mostly for magazines and newspapers and all that stuff but I would love to send a rave review (plus, it would be really cool to have your review on the back of a book, even if you have to make up a fake company name). sorry about having 2 different comments- it posted the first half by accident so I'm just continuing the sentence as best I can.

Can you ship to canada?

Yes, PLEASE use the blog, because I for one have no idea how Twitter works or if I would be able to find the right Kirsten Miller, although maybe you could announce that you're doing a giveaway via Twitter and give the URL of this blog so your Twitter followers could participate AND those of them who aren't blog followers yet might become blog followers and then you will maybe be famouser!! Yay!

Are you planning to contact those of us who get books from your New Year's giveaway or will it just be a surprise if a book shows up on our doorstep?

The covers do look amazing! I hope it's not too inconvenient for you to do the giveaways through twitter.

We can't review them on Amazon; they're not eligible for review yet. But Goodreads, yes.
