Thing #1: It’s less than 100 days until the release of Tap & Gown. Double digits! W00T! I’m so excited about this book y’all!
Thing #2: Fuse #8, I think I love you. Or at least your current fascination with killer unicorns. Either way, I owe you a drink.
Thing #3: Speaking of killer unicorns and Fuse #8’s blog post, it’s ironic that I just found out that RAMPANT is getting a new cover. They decided to go pinker. Hey, Alea, what do you make of this?
The Princess and the Unicorn, coming Feb 24 from Random House.
Killer unicorns, coming this summer, from my twisted brain (and, you know, Harper Teen).
Funny that the girl looks much more scared when the unicorn’s trying to eat her.
And now I have to go apologize to Carol Hughes, who I am sure is a lovely individual, and probably the Random House Art Dept., to boot.

I have an Award for you!

Maybe you and Carol Hughes should collaborate on a book: THE PRINCESS AND THE KILLER UNICORNS.

Huh. It took me, like, 5 min. to notice the differences in the unicorns. And then I was like “OH! The eye..”
