Australian Events

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:

Dear Sydney-ites. Your brilliant Becca bash will take place at the Ballroom of Establishment on December 7. Come meet Becca, beautiful-winged boys serving mocktails and canapes and dancing the night away... with a special appearance from Patch. Tickets $40 available through Ticketek on September 30.

And for our marvelous Melbourne fans, join us on December 9 at the State Library of Victoria for an evening of Becca, beautiful-winged boys serving mocktails and canapes and dancing the night away... with a special appearance from Patch. Tickets $40 available through Ticketek on September 30.

Alrighty Brisbane Becca fans! Join us on the terrace of the State Library of Queensland on December 10 for an evening of Becca, beautiful-winged boys serving mocktails and canapes and dancing the night away... with a special appearance from Patch. Tickets $40 available through Ticketek on September 30.

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!

SILENCE - Official UK Trailer

Ready for a little excitement??  Simon & Schuster UK has released their official SILENCE trailer today!! Check it out and let us know what you think!

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!

SILENCE US Tour!

Whew! Lots of tour info this week. But that's a good thing--it means SILENCE's release date is getting oh so close!

One quick disclaimer. The list below includes all of my public events, except for a couple in Boston, MA. Those are still being fine-tuned, and will fall at the very end of the US tour, before I fly to London to begin my tour of the UK. In short, Boston info is yet to come!
