New site! New blog!

My very first post on my new blog!

There may still be a little dust here and there, but my whole site has had a major makeover. Whew!
Now my blog, books news, etc., are all in one location--making life easier for me, and I hope for you too.

The makeover includes lots of new features and updates.  If there's something else you'd like to see, let me know. On my book pages I have most of my foreign covers displayed now which is kind of fun to see.  Every edition has its own unique twist and take.  Do you have a favorite?

I've also updated my interviews under the "About Mary" tab.  I hope you'll take the time to explore the pages and let me know what you think.

And in book news, drumroll please . . .
I have a title and pub date for the third and final book in The Jenna Fox Chronicles!  It was the title I was rooting for, so I'm thrilled: The Second Life of Locke Jenkins

It will be out on March 19, 2013.  I just sent my final edits off to my editor today (well, final except for copyedits of course) so for me that's great news too. Another hearty, whew! 

Now on to the next book which is already brewing but I won't be talking about for quite some time as I let the creative juices percolate.

Oh!  And the spring color below is courtesy of Poway High School in California.  For my visit the students made dozens of colorful butterflies to decorate the library. Plus, they wrote lovely messages on the back.  The librarian sent them to me because I couldn't read them while I was there.  I'm enjoying every single one.

Spring has sprung in my office, even if it's drizzling outside.

A third book?!

*Thud.*

That was me hitting the floor from a fan-girl swoon.

Thanks, Cyn. (As I do a mutual fannish swoon that you commented!)

Your new blog is beautiful! I love the colors and the little butterfly at the bottom of the page. I kept scrolling down just to peek at it. Favorite cover - L' EREDITA DI JENNA.

Thanks, Krista! And I'm glad that butterfly at the bottom kept you scrolling. Small pleasures, right? ; ) Yes, I also love the Italian cover--very intense. I thought their cover of Jenna was pretty cool too.

I loved the Fox Inheritance but I am kind of bummed out that I have to wait until 2013. So excited for new book can't wait!

I wish it was here sooner too, Kedam! But you know how these things work. I write the story but there is a whole lot (like covers, edits, arcs, etc.) that goes on behind the scenes. Thanks for stopping by. I'm so glad you enjoyed TFI.

I am a book reviewer and reader. I picked your book up the other day and oculd not put it down. I wrote a small review, giving you much praise for The Miles Between. If you want me to review any books for you let me know I'd be happy to if you send the book along...

Niki, thanks so much for reading The Miles Between. I'm so glad you couldn't put it down. I have to admit, The Miles Between is one of my favorite books I have written. I have a soft spot for it for a lot of different reasons. Thanks for sharing it on your blog!

I am no longer a YA librarian, but I will forever keep reading YA books (though I am 66)! I, too, count The Miles Between as my favorite Mary Pearson book.

Music to my ears, Tammi. YOU make me happy! I can't ask for more than to spread the love of reading.

Yes! Third is on its way!

Chaney, thanks for your lovely note. I am right there with you--I will keep reading YA no matter how old I am! : )

Book three?
Okay, I'm happy (even if I WILL have to shell out for the uniform edition, PLEASE tell me there are plans for a uniform edition).
I'm a 57 year-old transgendered female, in the midst or transition and, for some reason, Jenna speaks to me.
Tell me you have options on, at least the first book.
Now, not just teenagers read your work.

Oh, how I wish there would be a uniform edition, but those kinds of decisions are out of my hands. We will both just have to keep our fingers crossed.

I'm honored that Jenna's story speaks to you, Shelley. I think there are some experiences and feelings that are universal and can speak to us all, regardless of our own situation, age, or gender. Thanks for sharing with me.

As for options, yes the first book is currently optioned. Fingers crossed.
