YA in the Sun: Road Trip Edition Podcast

Last month, we traveled south to the beautiful Encinitas Library in San Diego County for an awesome event called YA in the Sun. There were so many authors there, we couldn't miss it! We had so much fun mixing and mingling with some of our favorite authors, like Marie Lu, Leigh Bardugo, Kiersten White, Sarah J. Maas, Gretchen McNeil, Josephine Angelini, Jessica Brody, Cindy Pon, and so many more-- we did mini-interviews with as many authors as we could, in order to bring you a taste of this fabulous afternoon! 

Readers lined up to get their books signed.

Author panel! Note Kiersten White's supercute pink tights.

The event organizers set up a dress-up photo booth.
Here are some authors joining in the fun!

Of course we had to get in on the photo booth action too.

Brodi Ashton: Special Edition Podcast

We're so pleased to share another of the interviews we did at the SCWBI in Los Angeles over the summer-- this time we're featuring the lovely Brodi Ashton!


Brodi's debut novel, Everneath, dazzled readers when it hit bookshelves in January of this year. Get your e-readers ready for a companion e-novella, Neverfall, available on December 26, and look for the second book in the series, Everbound, in bookstores everywhere in January 2013.

Brodi is a pure delight. We had so much fun chatting with her about the true-life inspiration behind the series, "team" factions in the Everneath fandom (Team Jack or Team Cole?), and a few hints about what readers can expect from Everbound. Enjoy!
