October Debut Contest and Happy Birthday to PD Down Under!!!

Hey!! For those of you in southern California, I'm going to be hanging at the Orange County Children's Book Festival this Sunday from 1-4pm. I'll be on the YA stage from 2:15-2:30 and signing Personal Demons in the Author's Corner booth before and after! It's free and sure to be a blast! Lauren Kate, Becca Fitzpatrick and Maria V. Snyder (who I'm very excited to meet) will be there on the Stage too, so don't miss it! Also, the awesome Maria, who blurbed Personal Demons, is giving away a signed copy on her blog! Comment by Oct. 4 for a great chance to win!

So, it's October first!!! Time for another Debut Contest.

But...before I get to that, I need to throw this:

And set off some of these:

Because it's release day for Personal Demons in Australia!!! Just put a copy of Personal Demons right there in the little guys hands...I mean paws...or, whatever they are.

So, I'm celebrating the release of PD down under in the only way I know how. I'm giving away books!!!

Last month was a big one here. Not only did Personal Demons release, but so did The Duff by one of my bestest writing buddies, Kody Keplinger.

This is another big month, because my awesome critique partner, Andrea Cremer's book Nightshade releases in October. So, once again, I’m doing something a little different. Instead of getting a choice of Personal Demons or another October YA debut, October's Debut Contest winner will get BOTH books. It seems apropriate that they go together since our names are in each other's books. =)
