books read/re-read in 2017:  genuine fraud - e .  lockhart  

her life was cinematic. she looked superb in the light from the streetlamps. after the fight, her cheeks were flushed. bruises were forming underneath her clothes, but her hair looked excellent. and oh, her clothes were so very flattering. yes, it was true that she was criminally violent. brutal, even. but that was her job and she was uniquely qualified for it, so it was sexy. 

Love it.  Thanks, @admlynch

I'm traveling in the UK and Ireland! It's officially for the UK paperback of Genuine Fraud.  I'm talking with some great authors: Holly Bourne, Will Hill, SK Wright, Emily Barr.  I'll be at DeptCon and Killer Women -- and I'm teaching a workshop at the Southbank Centre on finding your voice as a writer.

Come see me!  Tickets are free,, mostly, but you should get them ahead of time.

It's our book birthday for Upside-Down Magic: Dragon Overnight -- book four in the chapter book series for ages 7-11 that I co-write with two of the funniest writers alive, Sarah Mlynowski​ and Lauren Myracle​.  

In this new adventure, Nory and her Upside-Down Magic classmates go on an overnight field trip to a dragon rescue center.  Did you know dragons like cantaloupes?  They do.  (P.S.  Book 3, Upside-Down Magic: Showing Off, came out in paperback today, too.)

Want to see us live, get tested for magic powers, hear us read stories, get signed books?  

Sarah has public events this week in Woodstock and Decatur, GA;  then Sarah and Lauren together in Greenville, SC. I'm at Blue Bunny in Dedham, MA Jan 31 at 3:30.  Then you can find us ALL at Country Bookshop in Southern Pines, NC, and at the Whirlikids Book Festival in Scotsboro, NC on the weekend.

I’m trying to just be. To exist and enjoy what’s right in front of me. I know that’s a luxury ang I’m probably an asshole for even having that luxury, but also think, I’m trying to appreciate it, people! Let me just be greatful that I’m here on this beach, and not feel like I’m supposed to be striving all the time.

She knew that women were rarely the centers of such stories. Instead, they were eye candy, arm candy, victims, or love interests. Mostly, they existed to help the great white hetero hero on his fucking epic journey. When there was a heroine, she weighed very little, wore very little, and had had her teeth fixed.

Matthew had called her harmless. Harmless. And being with him made Frankie feel squashed into a box - a box where she was expected to be sweet and sensitive (but not oversensitive); a box for young and pretty girls who were not as bright or as powerful as their boyfriends. A box for people who were not forces to be reckoned with. Frankie wanted to be a force.
