News to Novels #14: Tragic tales with happy endings, support, and achieving dreams

Hey Annabelle!

I just checked out your blog -- good for you for reaching out to make connections! I always feel like a dog when I ask someone to follow me, but really, is there any other way to get the ball rolling?

Another interview - sorry guys! - with Lisa Burstein, author of PRETTY AMY.

I'm down. Here's me:

I'm a YA author. I blog about writing, critique query letters, host contests, and review YA novels. Plus other stuff.

Thanks Melanie Yes, I figured that reaching out is the best way to make connections. I was hesitant to post that thread at first, but this seems like a wonderful online community and these blog roll threads are awesome for creating relationships with other writers. I'm looking forward to reading your blog as well.

Hi, gang-

My blog is The Sword That Nagged; mostly in support of my YA fantasy series, The Wrong Sword. (Coming out this week from Musa Publishing - all props to Mscelina.) Lots of historical, fantasy, and science fiction posts, plus the occasional recipe for medieval street food.

Totally makeup and book-geeked on my blog with my first "YA Eye of the Day"-- Laurel from the Wings series I'd love it if other makeup/book geeks played, too!

I teased this Tuesday: Place and Magic

I chose Glimpse by Carol Lynch Williams for Cover Lust Tuesday. So pretty.

My post today: Do Internet Trends Inspire or Stifle Creativity?

Oh, and hi Anabelle! Welcome!

I blogged a book review. My first galley/advanced copy for review!

Congratulations, Smiley - great review!

My blog is at www.yayeahyeah.com if anyone would like to take a look. I review and do various things there, but the focus is moving towards author interviews. The most recent include Liz Kessler and Jane Prowse, while over the next week or so I have one scheduled with the fabulous Elizabeth Wein and a guest post coming from the amazing Jon Mayhew.

Today in the YA/MG Agent Series: Interview with agent Kerry Sparks of Levine Greenberg http://michelle-krys.blogspot.ca/

I've been interviewed today on The Busy Bibliophile as part of their "YA Saves" reading challenge. They're featuring my novel Connection today, and I'm giving away an autographed copy.

Road Trip Wednesday - Prom Night! What are your memories?

Another YA-heroine inspired makeup post (because I'm crazy. Yup), this time based on Kate from Die For Me I need to work on the whole camera and lighting thing...

My thoughts on The Fault in Our Stars and "transcending" YA.

Review: The Name of the Star

I interviewed self-published author Scott Cramer, who posts here as ripple, yesterday.

I've also got an interview with Elizabeth Wein tomorrow. Really excited to get the chance to ask questions to the author of my favourite book so far this year, Code Name Verity!

It's that time again--Query letter critique! http://michelle-krys.blogspot.ca/
