Book Events at Kinokuniya

So happy to say that Kinokuniya Book Store has asked me back not once but TWICE! The first was to host their "YA Book Talk" on Alexandra Bracken's new time-traveling YA adventure, Passenger. The second is for an upcoming Q&A with Melissa Landers for the release of her new sci-fi YA, Starflight. I was happy to oblige considering I am as much a reader as I am a writer.

The "YA Book Talk" happened earlier this month, but the Q&A with Melissa Landers is occurring next week on Tuesday, Feb. 2nd at 6pm. I'll be moderating the discussion with Melissa and afterwards both she and I will be available to sign our books. So if you're in NYC, please drop by and say hello!

And as an added bonus here's a few pictures from the "YA Book Talk" event this past month:

Book Look: Ashwood

Happy New Year! 2015 was certainly and eventful year for me and I hope 2016 ends up being even better. Hoping that the New Year brings you all many good and happy things in your life.

To kick things off for the new year, check out this awesome "book look" inspired by the cover of Ashwood. Because who says that fashion and horror can't be mutually exclusive?

Horror couture!

I know I still owe my 2015 Autumn Pick, so that will be coming soon. I also have another event at Kinokuniya coming up, so please stay tuned for more information about that.
