The Emmys are over at last! While we wait for the next awards show, please amuse yourself with the following:

– Next Sunday, October 2nd, Heather and I will be reading from — and signing! — SPOILED at the OC Children’s Book Festival! We go on the Young Adult Stage at 1pm, and will be signing after that. If you live in the OC, please come on out and meet us! (And tons of other great authors.) (Also, in case you were living in a cave all summer while we yapped about it: SPOILED is our young adult novel. If you have not yet read it, there is nothing better with which to celebrate the beginning of the school year!)
