Never Nooit Meer
31 January 2012
That is the beautiful cover art for Never Nooit Meer, the Dutch language edition of So Over It. I have pictures of the whole Skylar Hoyt family here.
My Dutch publisher is always sweet about sending me a couple author copies, and I love when those land on my front porch. In some ways it’s even more exciting than when the English version arrives.
I try to reserve this blog for book-related news, so I hate that I’ve been so quiet on here. Hopefully I’ll have news about new releases very soon!
In the meantime, you can always connect with me on Go Teen Writers and Twitter and Facebook.
So Over It is One!
1 July 2011
It’s hard to believe that So Over It hit shelves a year ago today. And that TWO years ago, Me, Just Different released. It doesn’t sound like that long, but it’s been such a crazy couple of years, sometimes I’m surprised when I realize my books aren’t all that old.
I mean, in the world of publishing where it feels like you have about 2 weeks to prove you can sell, they’re ancient. But in normal people time…
Anyway. The point of all that rambling was to tell you that I’m on Jenny B. Jones’ blog today, and if you click here you can get yourself entered to win a copy of So Over It. You can also read about my phobia of meeting famous people.
Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend!
Everything Upside
21 June 2011
According to Google Translate, that’s what the Dutch-language edition of Out with the In Crowd is called.
My author copies showed up last Friday, and it’s always surreal to see a different Skylar, to see my bio in Dutch, to see my parents’ names wedged among the other Dutch words in the translation. It’s also strange to see the “Vertaald door Marijne Thomas.” It’s weird to think of Marijne studying Out with the In Crowd and communicating it’s message to an audience I was never mindful of. I’m grateful to know that God was mindful of them, that He knew Skylar’s story wasn’t just for those in the states.
Here’s the link to my publisher’s page for “Everything Upside.”
I also received word last week that the rights to So Over It were sold to the same house. So that should be releasing sometime in the next year, I imagine.
That’s about all the book news I have for y’all at the moment. I have a couple new projects that I’ve been working on, but no word yet on when those might land on bookstore shelves.
One of the biggest challenges of playing softball or baseball is you regularly jolt from standing around to moving at full speed. Publishing is very similar, where you can wake up one morning with nothing on the horizon … but find out that day that you’ll have three manuscripts due within the year.
Even though I’ve been quiet on this blog, Go Teen Writers is crazy active, so you can connect with me and other writers over there.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer!
