Event Alert: If you’re anywhere near the Burlington, Mass. area this Thursday evening, I’ll be reading/signing at B&N at 7pm as part of a school book fair. Come by and say hello! I’ve been doing a lot of driving recently, so I’ve been listening to a bunch of audiobooks. I just finished The Witch of [...]
Um, guys? I just saw that MY EPIC FAIRY TALE FAIL is among the B&N Nook Book bestsellers for ages 9-12. Did April Fools Day come late this year? Also, a lovely review of the first two UnFairy books over at Just Us Girls plus a giveaway of both books. So I’ve been having some [...]
[It's "Anna Staniszewski Week" over at Fresh as a Daisy! (Can you hear my head getting bigger?) Today, swing by for my guest post on the lessons I learned from writing a sequel.] I tend to be pretty impatient with books these days, probably because my reading list keeps growing at an alarming rate. If [...]
Writing deadlines haven’t left me much time for reading recently, but I’ve managed to squeeze in a few titles. Here’s what I’ve been reading. (Perhaps in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, I’ve found myself drawn to green covers recently.) Shades of Earth by Beth Revis I was really looking forward to this final installment in [...]
I haven’t had too much time for reading recently since I’m in the revision cave again (still? always?) but here are a few books I’ve enjoyed recently (most of which happen to be sequels). The Daughter of Smoke and Bone series by Laini Taylor These books are full of great writing and [...]
1. Oh boy. Now that UnFairy 3 is out of my hair for a bit, I’ve been trying to catch up on my To Do list. It’s amazing how many things slide right out of your brain when you’re busy, even if they’re important things. Slowly slowly slowly getting caught up. 2. The spring semester [...]
I don’t know how 2012 is almost over, but I guess that means it’s time to look back at the books I most enjoyed reading this year (though they didn’t necessarily come out in 2012). I realized this year was very YA-focused for me, so next year I plan to read a bit more middle [...]
A note that “Jenny’s First Adventure” (the UnFairy Tale e-prequel) is now available free on the Kobo website. Even though I can’t wrap my brain around the fact that the year is almost over, I’m excited for 2013 because of all the great books that will be coming out. Here are some of the titles [...]
Wow, it’s bright out here! I think being in the revision cave for so long has turned me into a mole person. I’m happy to report that the revising is going well (despite all the yummy Thanksgiving distractions). I had Husband Ray take a look at my most recent draft, and overall he had positive [...]
I’m sure I’ve mentioned before how much I love my editor at Sourcebooks, and how much fun it’s been to work with the Jabberwocky team. Now that I have not one but two series in the works with my publisher, I’ve decided to do a giveaway that highlights some other recent Sourcebooks titles. So here [...]
