Win a Free Signed Book!

In a shameless attempt to rack up more Facebook likes, I'm giving away a free signed book to someone who likes my Facebook page between August 17* and August 31. To enter, click over to my page, click "Like," and then post a comment to let me know you entered (to make sure I'm able to contact you if you win!)

I'll announce the winner on September 1. Good luck!

* Yes, I know August 17 was a week ago. :)  I announced it on Twitter, and forgot to announce it here. But it's ok - you've still got another week to enter!!

Long time no post!

Hey, so what's been going on with you the past five months or so?

Here's what's been going on with me:

Big Mean Mike has been nominated for several children's choice awards, was a finalist for the Children's Book Council's Children's Choice Award, and won the 2013 Irma Black Award!

I finished a major revision of my next book, which is a dark and funny young adult novel that will be published by Candlewick Press in fall 2014. I'll share the title and other info when it's final ... stay tuned!

I have news about my next novel (the one that will come out next after the YA above) that I can't quite share yet, but I will post it as soon as I can!

I'm working on some new picture books too, but it's way too early to tell you anything about those yet. Sorry! :)

Also, I will be at a bunch of events over the next few months — please check out the list in the "book signings and events" sidebar at right. If you can come to any of those, it would be great to see you!

What else?

If you haven't yet liked my Facebook page, please do! 

And if you can't make any of my upcoming book signings but would still like a signed book, see my website for instructions for how to get one.

I hope you're having a good summer, and that 2013 has been nice to you so far. Looking forward to posting more often in the months to come and sharing more news as I can!
