AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION QUICK PICK!

The Young Adult division of the American Library Association (YALSA) has announced their final list of YA Quick Picks for Reluctant Readers. MARKED and BETRAYED both made the final list! Kristin and I are absolutely thrilled! It's especially nice to be recognized by the ALA as someone who helps encourage kids to read. Thanks very much to the panel that chose us!

A fabulous surprise!

So last night I was browsing through the current issue of Romantic Times Magazine, mostly checking out the lovely reviews of my girlfriends' current releases (Nalini Singh and Jaci Burton are 4 1/2 star top picks, and the wonderful Gena Showalter received 4 big stars) and I come to the back of the magazine where they have the nominees for the 2007 Reviewers' Choice Awards. Okay, as I already blogged about, Kristin and I are nominated in the YA category (yea!), but I was checking out the other fabulous nominees and happened to read through the nominees for the Career Achievement Awards. And BAM! right there under the paranormal category is P.C. Cast! I had not a clue I was a nominee! What an amazing surprise! I'm still blown away by the honor. RT says of the award: "The Career Achievement nominees are authors who have continuously crafted superior books throughout their careers." Wow!
