Video Blog: Awry, Film Option & UtopYA Con

My new book, the film option, and UtopYA Con 2012! :) 

UtopYA Con 2012!

where all the cool kids go to meet their favorite female authors

It’s time to get excited and to get to Nashville for UtopYA Con--the convention for female, paranormal/fantasy young adult authors and readers who love them!

It will be held at the Scarritt-Bennett Center in Nashville, TN on July 6-8, 2012. Would you like to come? (Say yes.) You’re already excited I know, but wait until I tell you who’s coming (and this is just a few)…

BIG NEWS!

I have big news, guys. BIG. Are you ready for this?

*takes a deep breath* 

My Archers of Avalon series has been 
optioned for film/TV!

Say whaaaaaaaaat???  *squeals*

What does this mean? Well, mostly it means I'm jumping around like a kid who's just reached the front of the line for the Dumbo ride at Disneyland. *flails hands and squeals again*

But it ALSO means that Tapestry Films--the same peeps who brought you WEDDING CRASHERS (that's right, they're big time)--are hoping to put my Archers of Avalon series on the big screen! Or maybe make it a television series! Either way? Dream. Come. True!

YAY!  

I'm so SO excited! I'm smiling so big my face hurts. Ahhhh! 

So, yeah. Tell your friends, tell your family, and shout it from the rooftops! (But be careful climbing up there because I'd hate to have to you fall off in the middle of your "Archers of Avalon has been optioned for film!" proclamation and land in a garbage can or bounce off an awning or something.)

Are you guys as excited as I am??? *takes another deep breath* It might be a while before I calm down. Like, a day. Or two. Or ninety. 

Bring on a big-screen Tristan Archer! WHOO-HOO!!!

AWRY is here!

I'm so so excited to share my newest book with you all, Awry! 

Awry is book two in my Archers of Avalon series!

My Thoughts on Snow White & The Huntsman *SPOILERS*

WARNING: Huge spoilers to come. So please, please, do not read on if you haven't seen Snow White but you plan to.

*clears throat* On with the rave....

First of all, I give it 5 stars. For blowing my mind and making me want to sing along with Florence + The Machine at the end. But then again, when do I not want to sing along with Flo?

To sum the movie up in one word: BEA-UTIFUL. The winter courtyard? The drops of blood on the snow? The forest? Gorgeous. All of it.

At the beginning, we have a young Snow White, who is totally cute with her freckles and innocence, and her daddy, the King.

What's the deal with kings? They're always being tricked and murdered and taken down by pretty women. Never put a man in charge of a kingdom. He and his sex drive will always screw it up, am I right?

Moving on....
