The Espressologist Menioned on BN.Com Teen Blog #Austen #books
How cool! Barnes and Noble's Teen Blog featured The Espressologist this week! "Funny and cute and perfect for reading while you curl up with a nice, hot latté, The Espressologist is an adorable take on Jane Austen’s Emma that’s almost as awesome as the YouTube-ified Emma Approved."

My Favorite Room (and update on Espressologist the web series + awesome sales on my books!)
*cross-posted from Author2Author.com
I've been MIA for quite awhile. It seems I can't to do too many things at once. We moved in mid-April and the process of getting all of the stuff for 6 people packed and moved was enormous for me! I barely got any writing done. Ok, I didn't write at all during that process. But we're all moved in and I'm getting back to work now. I've been working on the first book in a middle grade series, making notes on a new middle grade book that I'm super excited about, and starting edits on a young adult book. And of course enjoying summer with the kids.
I wanted to share my favorite room in our new house: the library. I've always wanted a library! And this one comes with a coffee bar so I'm hooked (ok, they used it as a library/wine room, but you know me: coffee, coffee, coffee!). Anyway, it's a little room right off of the family room and the kids (and me) love to go in here to read. Here are some pics.
In other updates, in May Alloy Digital announced the web series, Espressologist, at Digital Content Newsfronts, which was SO cool!. You can read about that here. They included some new details about the script:
"Based on the popular book by Kristina Springer, The Espressologist mixes one part Central Perk from Friends with a splash of Jane Austin’s Emma to create a series brimming with humor and heart.
Working at her neighborhood coffee shop as a barista, twenty-something Chelsea has a front-row seat to people and their crazy, entertaining lives. Always an astute observer of human nature, Chelsea stumbles upon a methodology that makes a love connection between her customers’ personalities and their drink orders. This comedic series follows Chelsea as the stakes are raised and her bizarre dating formula leads to more people (namely friends and co-workers) looking for Chelsea to replicate her success. But will she ever make a match for herself?"
So excited to see the book come to life! (Notice how Jane is now Chelsea and she aged a bit? Can't wait to see what else is new!)
There is also some great sales on my books this week. On Amazon, the paperback of The Espressologist is only $3.60. Just Your Average Princess in hard cover is $6.40. And The Paparazzi Project is on sale for 99 cents at B&N and Amazon.

I Love When Baristas Read My Book
This morning I went back to the coffee shop where I had my launch party 6 months ago, Fat Bean Cafe.
I hadn't been there since-- not because I don't love them or have given up coffee (Gasp! No!) but only because it's a bit out of the way and well, been busy and all that. So, anyway, I order my coffee and the smiley barista says, "I knew you were going to order that." Me=giggle. "Huh?"
See, I had forgotten that I gave them a copy of the book at the party. And the barista told me that they loved it and all passed it around and ever since have been trying to guess people's drinks and figure out who should go out with who. She then went on to tell me about their various customers and how they match up with different characters in my book. Like who's an Americano and who's a soy latte. And she said I'm always right on. Yay! I love it!! :-) This totally made my day! I kinda want a sticker now that says "Barista Approved" on the book.
