Book Club: FAUXSPRESSO NIGHT
Such a cool idea for a fun book club night! Check out this groups "Fauxspresso Night" they had to discuss The Espressologist. They included lots of pics and fun recipes too. I <3 it!

Oooooh Pretty!!
Look what I just got in the mail!
It's the advanced reader copies for Just Your Average Princess and they're GORGEOUS!
This is my third book now but it never gets old, I love this part!
I Love Book Clubs!
I <3 Book Clubs! I'm always talking about the one I belong too and how much fun we have. And recently I've been getting notes that people are starting to choose my books for their book clubs. Yay! A recent group said they were even setting up a Fauxspresso Night and having drink and treat concoctions to compliment the book. So fun! I'm sending them a package of signed bookmarks and stickers for the club. If you use one of my books in your book club and let me know I'll send you a package too. And if you have skyping abilities (and your meeting is on a night I'm available) we can skype for free too!

I Died and Went to Library Heaven...
WOW. Our brand new library in Bolingbrook, IL (Fountaindale Library) just opened today and I didn't get a chance to get in there until just now. And I was floored! It's BEAUTIFUL! It looks like it could be a huge mall or museum. It's nothing like any library I've ever seen.
It's so big that when you walk in you feel like you're entering an airport.
The interior design is awesome. And there are computers with huge flat screen monitors everywhere you look throughout the three story building.

And there's an info center and cafe.
Yes, CAFE!!!

The Children's area is HUGE. There are toys and tons of games, and a really fun creativity center. I can't wait to bring back the kids.
One of the most AMAZING sections is the teen room called the VORTEX. It's for grades 6 through 12 and it's separate from the rest of the library.
And yay, my books were there!

Bean bags and cool chairs for the teens!
The words are made out of hanging beads!
Even the stairways are cool.
The adult section is AWESOME too! There are tables everywhere with outlets underneath for people to work (wow, Starbucks is so going to lose business...).
I can't wait to hang out more here!
Just Your Average Princess Cover!
I can finally share the cover for my fall book (10/11/11), JUST YOUR AVERAGE PRINCESS!
Summary: Jamie Edwards has loved growing up on her family’s pumpkin patch in Average, IL, and she’s always dreamed of one day being the town’s Pumpkin Princess at the annual Pumpkin Festival. But when her rich and famous cousin, Milan Woods, comes to town and changes everything, Jamie knows she has to expose Milan for who she really is and teach her that life’s not all pumpkins and apple butter at the patch.
