Books I Love – Zombies vs. Unicorns

It's a question as old as time itself: which is better, the zombie or the unicorn? In this anthology, edited by Holly Black and Justine Larbalestier (unicorn and zombie, respectively), strong arguments are made for both sides in the form of short stories. Half of the stories portray the strengths—for good and evil—of unicorns and half show the good (and really, really bad-ass) side of zombies. Contributors include many bestselling teen authors, including Cassandra Clare, Libba Bray, Maureen Johnson, Meg Cabot, Scott Westerfeld, and Margo Lanagan. This anthology will have everyone asking: Team Zombie or Team Unicorn?

This book is old news to a lot of you, but that doesn’t make it any less awesome. I actually got it in 2010 for Christmas…and promptly misplaced it until this weekend. I read it all in one night and loved it! There’s something for everyone in here, whether you love zombies, unicorns, or both.

I’m a zombie girl and my two favorite stories are:

Bourgainvillea by Carrie Ryan

The Children of the Revolution by Maureen Johnson

If you haven’t read this one, pick it up. If you have, what were your favorite stories?

Book Release Update

Hi everyone!

As many of you know, my book was originally supposed to be released summer of this year…but with the change in editors it was pushed back to…

Summer 2013

Now, this is actually a good thing. It gives Harper Collins enough time to market and hype, which I’m thrilled about.

The only downside is that I have to wait another whole year!!! I don’t know if I can take it. J

It’s also interesting having to explain to people how long everything in the publishing industry takes. When I first got my book deal, a lot of people assumed that my book would be available for purchase the next month. To be honest, a year and a half is the norm.

That’s what’s up with me. What’s going on with you all? How’s 2012 treating everyone?

Done!

I’ve finished my edits and submitted the revision to Karen at Harper Collins. I hope the next round is only line edits…so keep your fingers crossed.

In the After also has some foreign interest, which is super exciting. It would be amazing to have my book available in other languages (you may remember we held back foreign language rights from Harper).

Other than that I’ll be working on a detailed outline for book two. Any New Year’s writing resolutions?

Hope everyone one has an awesome new year. 2011 was fantastic, so I have high hopes for 2012!
