Entering WARP SPEED + Whale of a Tale

The other day the postman brought me something tres exciting in the mail.

Can you guess which one of these I got?

1. A Sham Wow
2. Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy
3. WARP SPEED
4. My neighbor's junk mail

If you picked #3, you are correct! Although, I also got #4, and wished for #2.

It's always so cool and surreal to hold your published book in your hands. I had already received the ARC (Advanced Readers Copy), so I was glad all the typos were cleared up!

Here's WARP SPEED, a novel about a Star Trek geek who gets beat up everyday at school . . .

Speaking of WARP SPEED, there's going to be a grand BOOK LAUNCH PARTY at Vroman's in Pasadena, on Sunday, March 13th and YOU are invited!!!!!


(That's Kris Vreeland, manager of the children's department. We had our BOBBY VS. GIRLS (ACCIDENTALLY) party at Vroman's, too!)

Speaking of indie bookstores, I was lucky enough to visit the wonderful children's indie bookshop Whale of a Tale in Irvine, CA, last weekend.

I made a new friend, too! While I was there this lovely young lady bought a copy of ALOHA, KANANI and I got to sign it for her!
