Today!

If you're in NYC today, don't forget to stop by Books of Wonder, 18 W 18th Street, for the massive YA book signing! As part of the NYC Teen Author Festival, approximately 70 YA authors will gather together starting at 2pm and sign their books, take pictures with fans, etc. I'll be there with my husband on our motorcycle so if you see me, say hello. I'll probably be wearing my leather jacket. I'd like to be there all day, but I'll probably only be able to stay until about 3:30. Hope to see you there!

Sourcebooks Fire Launce Party!

Tonight, as part of the NYC Teen Author Festival, Sourcebooks Fire, the YA imprint of Sourcebooks, held their launch party at Books of Wonder in Manhattan. There were tables set up for autographs, a raffle to win Scourcebooks Fire books, food and entertainment provided by Tiger Beat!

Left to right: Natalie Standiford, Barney Miller, Daniel Ehrenhaft, and Libba Bray!!

I didn't take a regular camera, because I am a goof, but I had my phone and I managed to make a few short videos before my SD card filled up. I apologize for the poor quality.

The lovely Libba Bray

The last one is called YA and it was written by the band about the world of YA literature. If I can find the lyrics I will post them.
