Blog tour: Jane Eyre was wrong

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Have you entered the “If I was a spy…” contest, yet? You should!

And my book launch party is on Tuesday. Click here for details.

Welcome to the fourth day of my blog tour! Today, Christina of Books are Life interviews me and I rant a bit about why Jane Eyre shouldn’t have married Rochester.

*ducks to avoid wrath of Janeites*

Also, new reviews!

We Be Reading commends Spy’s “surprising depth and heart”.

Back to Books thinks it’s “a thrilling read, great mystery, wonderful characters, authentic historical setting with plenty of humour and a tad of love. Y.S. Lee’s first novel, and first in this trilogy, is a big winner and I can’t wait to see where Mary’s next case will take her.”

Misfit Salon wants “to find out what was in the cigar box – ahhhhh – I must find out! As you can tell, I cannot wait for the next installment of this exciting new young adult series.”

The “If I were a spy…” contest – enter now!

Book launch party, March 9. You’re coming, right?

Good day! Welcome to the third stop on my Traveling to Teens blog tour. Today, I’m interviewed by the fabulous Steph Su of Steph Su Reads. She asks good questions!

Steph also reviews Spy: “Look out, Sherlock Holmes—yes, you, the one played by Robert Downey, Jr. in the 2009 film. Smart, dark, and flavorfully kickass has a new name, and that name is Mary Quinn.” The full review is here.

Welcome to the second stop on my blog tour. I’m absolutely thrilled to be GreenBeanTeenQueen’s guest today.

Welcome to the first day of The Agency: A Spy in the House blog tour! My first stop, organized by  Traveling to Teens (T2T), is at Bookworming in the 21st Century, where Kristen reviews Spy and interviews me. Kristen says she was “entranced” by Spy, and says it “draws you in so well you wish it would go on forever”. I’m delighted to hear it. Thank you, Kristen!
