I can't believe Spells launches in two weeks! It seems like I've been waiting forever! Of course, I thought Wings would never come out, and now it's available in paperback! Funny how time can get away from you like that.

My tour schedule is available now! Am I coming to a bookstore near you? Will you come see me? Because that would be awesome.

And if I'm not coming to your city... hopefully someday! I love to travel. :)

We have been told that Wings launched as a best-seller in Italy. And in yesterday's edition of BookList, Spells received its first editorial review--complete with a star!

I told Aprilynne that made her a critically acclaimed international best-seller. d^_^b

In the summer of 2007, my wife wrote a book. It was a good book! I enjoyed it. I had a notion that it would get published. I even made some predictions to that effect.

Apparently I was thinking too small. Remind me never to underestimate my wife.

The film rights to Wings have been optioned by Disney (yeah, that Disney). Attached to produce are none other than Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey of Temple Hill Entertainment. Attached to star? The inimitable Miley Cyrus, with Tish Cyrus attached as an executive producer.

So now you know.

So I've been promising to post this for a while: the scene where Wings originally started. It may constitute a very minor spoiler if you haven't read the book, but as this was the original beginning you're probably okay.

Honestly, I had a hard time letting go of this beginning. I enjoyed jumping right into something strange and mysterious! I mulled it over for a long time. (Like WEEKS, seriously!) But in the end, I decided that my editor was right to cut it.
