New POISON DIARIES book trailer is up. What do you think?

I love the new book trailer! Check it out and tell me what you think. Special shout-out to Circle of Seven Productions and the awesome High Tide Studio, where yours truly recorded the voiceover.

TV alert: my Incorrigible visit to THE BALANCING ACT is here, for your viewing pleasure.

Me on THE BALANCING ACT! I read from The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place and howl up a storm with charming host Kristy Villa. THE BALANCING ACT is on Lifetime, every weekday at 7 AM.

Read THE POISON DIARIES online, for a limited time only.

HarperTeen is going wild! For a limited time (and don't ask me how limited, because I don't know) the THE POISON DIARIES is available to read online. The whole book! Seriously!

The US publication date is July 20th, so this is really a sneak peek. (UK people, you already have the book in stores. Australian people, you will have it in stores July 1.)
