Hello! This is just a quick post to share a few bits of news.
- The cover (and new title) for my 2016 book, The Smaller Evil, was revealed over at YA Highway. You can check out what I said about it over there, but bottom line is that I love it. It’s perfect. I can’t wait for you to read Arman’s story.
- I’ve seen the first pass pages of the book. They are beautiful. They also mean that the book is pretty much done. At least the writing-of-it part. I haven’t quite said my goodbyes to it yet, but I will soon.
- I received a printed copy of my most recently published manuscript*. One that very few people will see, but is the result of years of research. Here’s the dedication inside:
- The paperback edition of Complicit will be released on March 15, 2016.
- Finally, I am excited to be on faculty for the 2016 Desert Nights, Rising Stars Writers conference. The schedule has been posted, and in addition to being on a panel with Amy Nichols, Claire Kirch, and A.S. King, I’ll be teaching two classes on topics that I am extremely passionate about: empathy and fatalism in YA literature.
- Other than that, the holidays are coming, the tule fog is here, and I am writing, writing, writing.
Have a good one.

*That would be my dissertation.
