My Apocalypsies Tour (Sept 2011)

I spent most of my September in the US - going to a wedding, visiting family and visiting friends.  I also got the chance to meet a bunch of Apocalpsies - YA and MG authors debuting in 2012, like I am.

In Boston, I got to meet MA and NH Apocs: (l-r in picture below) AC Gaughen, author of SCARLET, Gina Damico, author of CROAK, Hilary Weisman Graham, author of REUNITED, Lauren Morrill, author of MEANT TO BE, Diana Renn, author of TOKYO HEIST, me, Gina Rosati, author of AURACLE and Kathryn Burak, author of HOW PEOPLE DISAPPEAR (not pictured). The restaurant was Zocalo Cocina Mexicana - and it was divine.  The best shrimp ceviche I've ever had.


In Kansas City, I met Genn Albin, author of CREWEL. We dined at J. Alexander on steak and an entire head of broccoli steamed in butter.

And in DC, I got to meet Jessica Spotswood, author of BORN WICKED, and Miranda Kenneally, author of CATCHING JORDAN, who took me to the most amazing chocolate themed restaurant in Metro Center called Co. Co. Sala. Like, seriously, if you love chocolate, you must make it your life mission to go there.  Chocolate cocktails!!

Looking forward to meeting even more Apocalypsies in the future. Thanks for showing me a great time, ladies!

    I didn't realize I was wearing a party hat! Then I zoomed in and saw it was two flower bottles behind me on the wall. Well, it was such a fun night, it deserved a party hat! Thanks for sharing the photo!

    Such a great time! I'm jealous you get to rub elbows with cool authors. But then, I rub elbows with you so I guess I'm lucky too. :)
