Well, maybe not the first time in my whole life, I was in it a lot in my younger years for basketball. But never for writing! My first novel, Into the Shadows, was featured in the Arizona Daily Sun in a lifestyles article. It's even more awesome because the journalist really understood what I was going for in this book. And I live in Illinois, so I really had no hand in this one. I'm just dreaming of all the book lovers who will hopefully see it in their newspaper this fine Sunday...maybe I'll get a little sales boost!

And it was on the "What's New" shelf in the teen section of the library when I went on Friday, between A.S. King's Printz winner Please Ignore Vera Dietz and my friend, James Klise's awesome book, Love Drugged. That was also a wonderful surprise!

I will crack a beer in honor of this today!

Congratulations Karly. That must have felt pretty good. I have appeared in the paper back in my football days, but never for my books. I remember being excited about it back then, but for a book. I would be over the moon, lol. Congratulations!

Thanks guys! I'm stoked. Now if I only could get a copy of today's Arizona Daily Sun...that would be even more awesome!
