Thank you to the Hush Hush fan site for featuring this short story about Jordan and Henry at Christmastime.

The CATCHING JORDAN book trailer is now live over at Cari’s Book Blog. Hope you like it!

I’m thrilled to announce that Sourcebooks Fire will be publishing my next two young adult novels! I’m excited to work again with editor extraordinaire Leah Hultenschmidt. Thank you so much to my fantastic and amazing agent Sara Megibow.

So, the two new books are companions to CATCHING JORDAN. You’ll see familiar names in all three books, but there are new characters too.

The first book is currently called PLAYING PARKER, but the title will probably change. It’s about a 17-year-old girl named Parker who falls for the new 23-year-old coach of the baseball team. This book will come out in fall 2012.

The second book is called BAD, BAD THING. It’s about an 18-year-old girl named Kate who is guided by strong Christian beliefs. While Kate’s falling in love for the first time, she struggles to get over her role in helping her best friend to get an abortion. This book will be released in spring 2013.

I’m beyond excited and can’t wait to share these books with everyone. Thank you again to Sara and Leah and Sourcebooks Fire!

Emily (E. Kristin Anderson) and I are so excited to announce that my lovely agent Sara Megibow has accepted an offer from Zest Books, which is distributed by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, to publish a Dear Teen Me anthology! Emily and I began working on this project in late 2010 and we’re so excited at the response we’ve had.

You can read more about the anthology over at the Dear Teen Me website!
