Maclagan as our ringleader, 11 authors of YA suspense novels are teaming up to give away some great prizes. (The graphic says 10 authors, but Elizabeth Wein has just joined the gang!)

Then I was consumed with pity for the misguided, olive-fearing people (because you can't really claim to live a full and happy life without olives) and put you back in the contest. All right. So. The randomly selected winner of the … [Read more...]

Winners of the Tardy Contest

Good day! You all made the Tardy Contest difficult and I felt serious anxiety just reading some of your comments: Joanne missed her best-friend-from-high-school's wedding by 7 days. Eek! Steph almost missed a transatlantic flight by 24 hrs. Mary, Penny, and Christie have missed doctor's appointments by pretty wide margins. Ari's family was 4 hours late to an event they thought was the … [Read more...]

Heigh ho! You have 5 days to enter the Tardy Contest to win ARCs of The Body at the Tower. Don't be late! (har har) Also, I'm featured at Books on the House this week. Enter there to win copies of A Spy in the House plus an Agency t-shirt. When Misa Ramirez of Books on the House interviewed me, she asked, "Are your books serious, or does your wit come through?"
