i really want your new book to come out january 3rd 2012. I love your books<3
Thank you so much! I wish it was coming out next month, too! But Scholastic is still working on editing the manuscript I just sent them two weeks ago – as well as creating a fabulous cover for it! And that takes time.
Stay tuned! And thank you again for loving my books – that makes my day!
