So Boyfriend and I were talking in the car the other day:
Boyfriend: I have a cool surprise trip planned for your birthday.
Me: Oooooh. What is it?
Boyfriend: It's a SURPRISE.
Me: Can I ask you yes/no questions to try and guess it?
Boyfriend: Okay fine.
Me: Is the trip in California?
Boyfriend: Yes.
Me: Is the trip to Palm Springs?
Boyfriend: No.
Me: Santa Barbara?
Boyfriend: No.
Me: Catalina?
Boyfriend: No.
Me: Does it involve extreme sports or public humiliation? Please say no.
Boyfriend: I'm almost positive it doesn't.
Me: ...
Boyfriend: Helpful hint, it might relate a little to your book idea.
Me: We're going to be vigilantes for a day and take out the government??
Boyfriend: No, not LEGEND. Your other book idea.
Me: WE'RE GOING TO JOIN THE MAFIA?!
Boyfriend: .....okay, that hint was a poor choice....
(and no, I still don't know what it is)

AvatarTLA, Walking Dead, Shadow and Bone panel
Los Angeles/SoCal folks, I have an exciting event to encourage you guys to go to. :heart:
Next Wed (June 26th) at 7pm, I will be paneling at the Grove's Barnes & Noble with Leigh Bardugo (Shadow & Bone, Siege & Storm), Mike DiMartino (Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra), and Seth Hoffman (The Walking Dead).
I'm on the floor, spazzing out like foamy-mouth guy, but don't worry, I will be okay. Possibly.
So if you're a fan of any (or all!) of us, please come out and see us! We're even running this fabulous fanart contest, where if you create a crossover fanart of all 4 of our properties, we will all sign a print of yo
In which we talk STAR CURSED
So. Let's talk witches. Fantasy. Hot boys who are actually (gasp) also good boys. Beautiful dresses. Oracles. Sisters. Magic. Plot twists. Heartbreak.
All words to describe STAR CURSED, the second book in Jessica Spotswood's CAHILL WITCH CHRONICLES trilogy. (The first book, by the way, is BORN WICKED. It's captivating. You should read it. It has all of the above too.) I had the extreme fortune of reading STAR CURSED early, and let me tell you, it's possibly even better than the first. Not only are we treated to a thickening plot and a world that turns steadily darker--but we're treated to some serious character development. Cate, Maura, and

"New York Times bestselling author of the LEGEND series Marie Lu's new fantasy trilogy THE YOUNG ELITES, in a Renaissance-like world where young children who survive the blood fever are often gifted with god-like powers, three rival societies battle for supremacy, in a major deal, for publication in fall 2014, to Jen Besser at Putnam Children's, by Kristin Nelson at Nelson Literary Agency (World)." (via Publisher's Marketplace)
There it is! The Young Elites. I drew some pics and pinned some Pinteresting things:

Prodigy is #2 on New York Times bestsellers list
Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone for all your amazing support for both Legend and Prodigy. I heard the news yesterday and became an absolute mess of emotions:
Prodigy debuts at #2 on the New York Times bestsellers list, and Legend comes in at #10 on the same list!
I can't believe it. I really can't. I don't think my high school writing-at-midnight self could ever have imagined this sort of thing coming true. It couldn't have happened without a team of brilliant people and the support of dedicated readers. Thank you all so much. :heart:
