The Oregonian Reader's Choice Award

My YA novel, THE DAY BEFORE, is a finalist for the Oregon Book Award.

The awards ceremony is April 23rd, and that's when we find out who wins.

There is also a Reader's Choice Award, and anyone can vote for a favorite book among all the finalists.

Here is the link if that's something you'd like to do:

Thanks!

Two happy things for a Monday

First!

THE DAY BEFORE is an Oregon Book Award finalist. I'm thrilled to be among friends April Henry, Emily Whitman, Jen Violi and Heather Vogel Frederick!

Next!

I was so excited to see I HEART YOU, YOU HAUNT ME mentioned alongside titles by Sarah Dessen and John Green (two of my favorite authors!) in this article in School Library Journal titled "What Teens Are Really Reading."

Now that is what I call a wonderful Monday.

And now, time to get started on a new book.
