Hey all, I'm going to be speaking at a February 13 SCBWI event! It takes place on the USD campus in the Hahn School of Nursing from 2-4. It is open to members and non-members, details here. And directions are here.

Here is the blurb for the talk. I hope I see you there!

Juggling the Art and Business of Writing: Craft, Tips, and Realities

Mary E. Pearson discusses and shares the journey of writing a trilogy, from the first proposal to her editor, to the work of promotion, to wrestling with unexpected challenges along the way, and most importantly, keeping the writing passion alive through 1700 pages of story.

Putting it out there right now--this post is all about wild THANKS!!!

While on tour I got the incredible, amazing news that THE HEART OF BETRAYAL made the  New York Times Bestseller List!!!!! 


So . . . to all the fans who blogged, shouted, tweeted, shared, and spread the news in all possible ways--and of course read The Kiss of Deception and The Heart of Betrayal--YOU made it happen!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And THANK YOU to my amazing publisher who made this book so beautiful and touchable and sent me out on tour to meet face to face so many awesome fans, booksellers, and librarians.

The Decatur Book Festival is coming this weekend!

I'll be there speaking on a panel along with the very awesome Leigh Bardugo, Jessica Brody, and Emmy Laybourne! Woo-ha! I'm excited!  And so many other teen authors will be there too! It's going to be a blast!

And of course I will see YOU there too!  Right?!  I hope so!

Our panel is on Sunday on the Teen Stage at 3:00.  Lots of fun, books, swag, (and maybe, ahem, we'll spill a secret or two)  See you then!

Indiana, here I come!  Zionsville, Indiana to be exact!

On November 7th I'll be visiting teens and college students at the Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library.  And get this:  If you hurry and preregister, you get a free copy of The Adoration of Jenna Fox.  But you must preregister. Space and books are limited.  Here's the registration form and instructions.  I'm excited.  I've been to the states on either side of it, but I've never been to Indiana before!  If you know a teen or college student in the Zionsville area, please pass along the information.  I would love to meet them! Patricia VanArsdale, the Librarian Goddess who has arranged the visit, says teachers and media specialists are also welcome. I will also be giving away an Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of Fox Forever!

In other authory visit news, I will be in Las Vegas November 17-20 for the ALAN conference!  I love this conference because it's all about young adult literature and it's loaded with people who love YA books!  My schedule is as follows:
Sunday Nov 18th - 9-10 am signing at the Macmillan Children's Booth #511
Monday - free day to take in the sessions and ???
Tuesday  Nov 20th - 2:40-3:40 Science Fiction Breakout Session - More info to come on topic and fellow panelists!

Oh! I'll also be making a virtual author visit via Skype on November 3rd for the Sam Houston State University's Children's Book Festival!  It will be in the morning, 8:30ish, but I will confirm the time soon. I'll be chatting and sharing with teachers, librarians, and library science students--virtually! So if you'll be at the festival, stop in and say hello!
