About Me

Hi! I'm Becca Fitzpatrick, the author of the internationally bestselling HUSH, HUSH saga. When not writing, I'm most likely running, prowling sale racks for shoes (stilettos, please!), or enjoying one of life's many little indulgences: Ice cream, Veronica Mars, losing myself in a book, painting my toenails, or simply daydreaming. I do my best to update this blog as frequently as possible with news on upcoming events, tips for writers, and all things pertaining to my books.

FallenArchangel Dinner

Happy Tuesday! Normally Tuesday is not my favorite day of the week, but since SILENCE heads to copyedits today, I can say HAPPY TUESDAY INDEED!!

And more great news! The ladies who run FallenArchangel.com, the official HUSH, HUSH fansite, are planning a special evening for fans of the HUSH, HUSH saga: A fan dinner in New York City. So cool. I really wish I could be at this event and enjoy a relaxing evening out with some of you. Unfortunately, I will not be at the event. But if you are a fan of the HUSH, HUSH saga and want to spend a fun night out with other fans, please have a look below. Even though I'm unable to make the event, I do know that representatives from Sea Lion Books, the publisher of the HUSH, HUSH graphic novel, will be at the dinner. Exciting!



When: Monday, May 23 5:00pm - 8:00pm

Location: New York City (exact place to be announced)

Name-this-Character Contest CLOSED

First off, a big thanks to everyone who participated in the naming of a character in SILENCE! I've been getting a lot of questions about the contest, so I thought I'd post FAQs and my subsequent answers here.

Q: How many entries were there?
A: Nearly 3500!

Q: Have you picked a winning character name yet?
A: No. It will take several days (if not a week or two) to carefully go over each name and select the one that best fits the so-called nameless character.

Q: When will you announce the winning character name?
A: After I've selected the winning name, and after I've contacted the person who submitted it. Hopefully before June!

Q: What does the winner get?
A: I will publicly thank them in SILENCE's acknowledgements.

Q: Will you do another contest like this again?
A: I did a Name-this-Character contest for both CRESCENDO and SILENCE. I see no reason to stop!
