Wizard World’s Austin TX Comic Con

I am no longer a Comic Con virgin. There, I said it. I joined the Writing Ninjas of TX at their large impressive exhibit where we chatted with readers about YA books and signed our featured novels. Our amazing book seller was The Book Spot of Round Rock, TX. The store will have our signed books on sale and on display if you didn’t make the Comic Con in Austin. Here is a link for their YA signed featured books.

 

Here are photos from Comic Con:

Bottom (L to R): Madeline Smoot, P J Hoover, Mari Mancusi

Kari Holt as a Zombie - Scary

Me in my Duck Dynasty gear - even scarier

 

HarlequinTeen made sure my latest YA Crystal Fire was “in the wild” when Comic Con was on – a special exclusive for the event. The Hunted series is complete with both books now being available.

I took some miscellaneous shots of some crazies I saw, but there were many more photos taken by the Austin Chronicle and I’ve included a link to their images below.

Hercules and his goddess? Don't know, but they were smiling.

 

Here is a link to the Austin Chronicle posting of many more fun photos taken that day by their photographers. If you ever get a chance to go to a Comic Con, join in the fun and dress up. Tap into your inner child with a flourish. You won’t regret it.

I’ll be touring Texas with the Chills & Thrills Teen Book Tour in May. Check out my young adult APPEARANCE page for details.

Foreign Sales

I’m pleased to announce that IN THE ARMS OF STONE ANGELS has garnered international interests. Harlequin Teen has sold into several countries (besides North American rights into Canada). Australia released the book in May, 2011. The cover is stunning. France and the U.K. will be released in 2012. I can’t wait to see these covers as well.
