Details have just been posted for the official DARK OF THE WEST launch in Saint Paul, MN. If you happen to be in the Twin Cities area, please come join us at the Red Balloon Bookshop on February 5th! Author Maura Milan will be in town to ask me a bunch of book-related questions (and probably about airplane flying as well!) and we would so love to see you there.

As well, there will be a Toronto-based event in February. More info on that soon!

Yesterday, I was thrilled to discover Dark of the West on the Barnes and Noble Teen Blog’s list of Most Anticipated YA Fantasies for 2019! Click here to see the full article which includes a few books by dear friends: Enchantée by Gita Trelease and We Hunt the Flame by Hafsah Faizal, among many others. We have an incredibly epic year of great reads about to begin!

February 5th is also creeping ever closer, and I’ll soon be able to share details on launch events and pre-order gifts. Stay tuned!

Wishing all a peace-filled & lovely holiday season. <3

It’s nearly time! Next week YAS Book Con is being held at Western Kentucky University’s Downing Student Union, and I hope I’ll get to see you there. I’ll be participating on the “Bold and the Brave” panel at 10:00 am (with some truly lovely authors including Maura Milan, Erin Summerill, and Jodie Meadows) and also the “Fantastical Worlds and How to Build Them” panel at 12:00 pm (I’ll for sure be talking about WW2 airplanes at some point!).

Hurry on over and check out the full event schedule here.

Bonus: I have some beautiful signed bookplates to give away to anyone who makes a pre-order of Dark of the West at the event! Please come say hi! 🙂
