This is when it feels real

December 1, 2011 By Ying 10 Comments

Hello, friends. Look at what turned up at my house recently! Yes, these are ARCs of The Traitor in the Tunnel (publishing February '12). That gorgeous cover is even better in real life (mitigated only by the knowledge that the finished copies will be even more stunning). As for its contents... It's a curious feeling, holding the book in my hands. You might expect that after having … [Read more...]

Winners of the Tardy Contest

June 17, 2010 By Ying 2 Comments

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...]

The Tardy Contest

May 27, 2010 By Ying 36 Comments

Care to win one of two ARCs of The Body at the Tower? Read on! Are you always running late? I try very hard to be punctual but occasionally, bad planning and fate get the better of me. I once missed a flight out of Paris because the journey to Charles de Gaulle took 3 hours, instead of the planned 1.5. (A lovely airline employee took pity on my idiocy and put me on the next flight.) Another … [Read more...]

Book club!

April 29, 2010 By Ying 11 Comments

First, a confession: I have never belonged to a book club. This might be because I spent quite a long time at university and so had many years of focused and sustained discussion about a book/poem we'd all recently read (or pretended to read). Most classes were adequate-to-fine. A few were dismal. A very few were spectacular. So while I do love talking about books, there's something about the … [Read more...]

The first shiny hardcover! plus contest winners

February 18, 2010 By Ying 5 Comments

(Looking for launch party details? Click here.) This week, the wonderful Deborah Wayshak of Candlewick Press sent me an advance copy of the Real Deal. Yes, a crisply dust-jacketed, super-extra-luminous copy of A Spy in the House. It's a hardcover. It makes me a little bit dizzy. And if you're in my house, seriously - don't even breathe on it. I haven't been able to take a photograph that … [Read more...]

They’re hee-ere!

February 4, 2010 By Ying 6 Comments

The ARCs for Spy, I mean. Look! If I had a few more, I'd cancel the contest and use them to wallpaper my study. As it is, I guess I'll have to think up a new giveaway! I'm planning the launch party right now and will have more details for you next week. And I'm writing book 3, The Traitor and the Tunnel - to which I must now return. … [Read more...]
