THE CURE FOR DREAMING Countdown Widgets

During the rest of August and all through September, I'm going to be busily wrapping up the first draft of The Steep and Thorny Way, while also working on revisions for The Uninvited and my Slasher Girls & Monster Boys short story. I won't be posting many updates over here, but I will leave you with countdown widgets for both the U.S. and the UK publication dates for The Cure for Dreaming. Feel free to use the widgets on your own site.

In October, be on the lookout for my blog tour for The Cure for Dreaming, sponsored by RockStar Book Tours. And, as always, keep an eye on my Events page to see where I'll be showing up in person. I'll be traveling around the Northwestern U.S. for appearances this fall, and I'll also be on a YA panel in Washington, DC. Details about that last event to come.
