Yes, it’s finally here–my debut year! And while I’m waiting breathlessly for the book trailer to be ready (just a few more days, I’m told), I can’t help but be excited about all I have to look forward to in 2012.

Of course, these are things I’m looking forward to, but maybe some are things you will be excited about, too:

First off, that amazing book trailer! I’ve seen a rough cut, and it looks great. I’ll post it here, on Facebook, on Goodreads, and anywhere else I can think of, so stay tuned for that.

I’m expecting to find a box of brand-spanking new books on my porch one of these days. And yes, I’ll post that photo on Facebook, too!

A group of 58 Apocalypsies (including me) are planning a blog scavenger hunt in a couple of weeks. Your online clicks will take you to lots of sites to see previews of our books, and there will be prizes! The game begins on 1/16/2012, and you’ll find the details at the Apocalypsies website.

I’m still planning my book launch party, and it’s going to be lots of fun! In fact, it may be too much fun to be contained in just one launch party. More details on that soon.

I am already scheduled for some personal appearances to talk about A Voice for Kanzas, including a kids’ lit fest, a club meeting, and some school visits.

I hope you have many things that you are looking forward to in the coming year, and maybe even a few on the list above.

Here’s to 2012–cheers!
