Bookish Miscellany

First, to all my lovely readers in the UK who have finished reading Knife and Rebel and are now e-mailing me to ask when Arrow will be published and whether I can make it happen any sooner -- I am afraid that January 2011 is the very soonest the book can possibly come out, because I have still not finished writing it yet! But I am working on the story just as fast as I can. Believe me, I want to know what happens next, too!

Second, I'm delighted to report that I will be one of the guest speakers at the SCBWI Canada East "Spring Thing" conference, to be held at the Kempenfelt Conference Center in Barrie, ON (1 hr. north of Toronto) from April 23-25, 2010.

Over the weekend I'll be giving a seminar on "Revision: The Magic Key to Successful Writing", as well as participating in a couple of panels and doing some manuscript critiques. I'm very excited about it, as I love SCBWI events and this is the first time I've been able to attend one as a speaker. If you're within driving distance and are interested in writing for children and teens, you might want to check this conference out...

Lucky UK readers! They are already looking forward to Arrow and I am still debating whether I should really import Rebel and then turn around and buy Wayfarer when the dilatory States gets around to publishing it.

Ooh, have fun at the conference!

It's still such a long time to go until January 2011! :( But you can be sure that I will be among the first people who buy Arrow when the time has come. And in the meantime, I will just have to read other awesome books. :D

Thought I'd leave a comment as I've been reading your work for years (Maud Moody is one of my favorite OCs). I'm studying in the UK this semester and was thrilled to come across Rebel in the Waterstone's near Trafalgar Square last week! My resolution to avoid spending money died a quick and painless death as I headed to the storefront with my newfound treasure -- "After all, the exchange rate is really good, and I'm supporting R.J. Anderson."
