Promotional Site for the book by Sara Ryan
From his October ‘07 column in The Believer:
“I see now that dismissing YA books because you’re not a young adult is a little bit like refusing to watch thrillers on the grounds that you’re not a policeman or a dangerous criminal.”
I would like to send this man a copy of Rules. Wonder how I could get one to him?
I told you it would. This scene was a little challenging to read because I can’t do guy voices so well and I have a bunch of unattributed bits of back-and-forth dialogue. But you do know that it’s Battle and her brother talking, so I hope you can tell who’s who.
ETA a geeky question: Does anyone know how to change the icon associated with a podcast in the iTunes store? I was using the Empress cover as my icon while I was reading it, but now that I’m embarked on reading Rules I’d like to change it to the Rules cover. I did change it in my .xml file using the <itunes: image> tag, but somehow the change isn’t getting picked up in the iTunes store. Any help much appreciated.
P.S. Yes, for new readers, you can subscribe to my podcast via iTunes.
So you’re blithely going through your daily online reads, and suddenly, a post hits as though it fluttered down from the sky in a priority mail envelope addressed to you.
Never mind that the post’s author had no notion you’d respond this way. Regardless, the messages resonate: Knock it off. Get it together. Figure it out.
What’s it? Whatever you think it is.
Yes, I am just about to take off again for parts known and unknown.
2 pm Saturday, November 10th, I’ll be doing a Teen Writing Workshop at the Lynnwood Library in beautiful Lynnwood, Washington. (Thanks for making such a cool graphic advertising it, Lynnwood Library webfolk!)
Exactly seven days later, at 2 pm Saturday, November 17th, I’ll have a signing at the National Conference of Teachers of English in equally beautiful (but in a different way) New York City.
And then, on Monday the 19th at 1:30 pm, I’ll be on a panel for the Assembly on Literature for Adolescents Workshop, with several illustrious compatriots: Holly Black, Cecil Castellucci, Garret Freymann-Weyr, and Jo Knowles; we will be illustriously moderated by Ann Angel.
10 am Saturday, November 24th, I’ll be at the Mid-Ohio Con, mostly to sell comics, but I’ll have some Rules and Empresses on hand, too.
I’m excited!
(Also kind of tired just thinking about it.)
But mostly excited!
