Something Very Special For Release Day!

Never Enough is in the wild! Of course I'm very excited, but I'm almost as excited about this special video I get to share with you today.

Self-esteem is an issue very close to me. I definitely didn't feel good enough as a teen, and still struggle with those feelings of inadequacy sometimes today. Several of my author friends took the time to chime in and talk about how they didn't feel good enough during their teen years.

I hope you'll take a few minutes to watch it. And again I'd like to say thank you to all of the authors involved and to all of those who have been so supportive of this video and of my new book, Never Enough.

Do you feel like you have trouble measuring up? See if your feelings match any of the authors in this video...


Share this video around and come back and tell me about it, and I'll enter your name to win some awesome boxes of books!

Monday at the Movies

First of all, thanks so much to everyone who has been weighing in on genre switching and pseudonyms! It's been very interesting to hear the quite varied thoughts. Some authors love the mystery of authors writing under pseudonyms, some feel it's insulting. Many of you don't care either way, but still have plenty of wise words about the subject!

I love these discussions!

If you haven't seen this post yet, drop by here and give your thoughts. There are still a few more days to enter to win BEFORE I FALL, DELIRIUM, and LOW RED MOON.

Many of you know I'm a member of The Tenners. For those who don't know, this is a group of about ninety authors who have their first YA or middle grade book coming out in 2010. We've banded together for (much-needed) emotional support and sharing of knowledge. As a September release, I'm so incredibly thankful to those who have gone before me and shared from their enormous vats of wisdom.

Because we are such a big group, though, we've decided to make several video book trailers highlighting some of our books, as I don't think even I could sit through one looonnnnggggg video featuring ninety new titles.

So I'm thrilled to share with you the brand spankin' new trailer including LOSING FAITH! These are many of the Tenner titles that will be released between July and December. Keep a pen and paper handy while you're watching - there are LOTS of great books in here!
