Call into Blog Talk Radio Chat with Sarah MacLean!

I'm super excited to join Barry Eva for A Book & A Chat on Blog Talk Radio on Saturday, January 16th at 11am ET!

Please listen in...and call in with questions about The Season, the upcoming Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake, me, my writing process, Baxter, Brooklyn, my obsession with The West Wing, or anything else you'd like to chat about!

Ze Frank Makes Me Less Scared

Today, I need Ze.

AS King Makes Baxter Famous!

The fabulous AS King, author of The Dust of 100 Dogs (which you should all go read RIGHT NOW), is featuring Baxter on her blog today as part of her regular feature, Wagging on Wednesday!

Go learn more about my pup...and about Amy!

Check It! I'm on Nineteenteen!

I'm super psyched to be the guest of honor this week over at Nineteenteen, the awesome blog on all things relevant to teens in the Nineteenth Century run by Marissa Doyle, author of Bewitching Season and Regina Scott, author of La Petite Four.

On Monday, the lovely and talented Marissa interviewed me about The Season and the Regency...and today I got to guest blog about Rotten Row in Hyde Park and why it was an integral part of young female aristocrats' lives. I had such a blast writing for them, although I'll confess a little performance anxiety, considering what an incredible wealth of information Nineteenteen is to readers and lovers of the time period!

If you have time, head on over there and share the love!

oooh! I almost forgot!
You can win a signed copy of The Season by commenting on either my interview or my guest post!

Alex eats a Reese's

To celebrate her debut, Alex has been invited to lunch with the fabulous Jennifer Brown, one of my fellow 2009 Debutantes and author of Hate List. Jen let Alex pick the place, the menu and the company for their luncheon...and they had a great time!

You can read about it, and Alex's reaction to her first Reese's, here...

John Irving and Red Velvet Cupcakes...

What do they have to do with each other? And how do they relate to yours truly?

Find out by reading my interview with the amazing Cindy Pon (author of the soon-to-be-released awesome SILVER PHOENIX) over at A Little Sweet, A Little Sour!

Alex gets her debut!

Head on over to the fabulous Sarah Ockler's blog to read all about the debut party that Alex *wished* she'd had! From a guest list that spans four centuries to party favors and music, Sarah Ockler hasn't forgotten a thing...and, thanks to her, Alex is finally getting the debut she wants.

For those of you who don't know Sarah, you should. She's another 2009 debut YA author...and I'm predicting now that her INCREDIBLE book, Twenty Boy Summer will be a contender for the 2009 National Book Award. Yes. It's that good. You should preorder it.

Yesterday, Sarah and I also discovered a very bizarre coincidence about our lives...stay tuned...I'm going to blog about that later. But now, back to the day job!
