Happy Friday, guys!
Now that you've had a chance to watch the UK book trailer for SILENCE, let me throw some more exciting news at you.
Yesterday on their Facebook page, Simon & Schuster Australia announced my December tour events. They've gone all-out to create some truly spectacular and fun events, and I can say with confidence it's going to be GOOD TIMES. Here's what they had to say on their page:
Becca again. "Beautiful-winged boys serving mocktails and canapes and dancing the night away...with a special appearance from Patch." FUN! I have a feeling this is going to feel a lot more like a giant party than your typical book signing, HA-HA!
I can't wait to meet you guys, chat about the books and just enjoy a night of fun together!

Teens' Top Ten!
Yippee!
Some truly incredible news reached my ears today. CRESCENDO has been nominated for YALSA's Teens' Top Ten! This is a teens' choice list, and I'm massively flattered to be included. In fact, I can't think of a single list I'd rather be on than this one--teens and teens alone choose their favorite books of the previous year and that makes it very, very cool in my book.
If you're a teen, and you want to see CRESCENDO make the top ten, vote for it now through September 15 RIGHT HERE.
Being nominated for this list means a lot--definitely one of the high points of writing for teens--and I appreciate the support and enthusiasm my books have received to make it this far. So this is for you guys: THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
