Favorite bookstore: The King's English in Salt Lake City - comfy store, great selection, amazing staff.
Favorite library: The Salt Lake City Public Library, main. (Named 2006 Library of the Year! Booya!)
Pets: One very talkative parakeet named Peanut.
Dream book tour: The Lake District in the UK, Venice, and then a special appearance on a cruise ship going up the Inside Passage to Alaska...
Favorite outfit: Jeans, sneakers, comfy shirt.
Laptop or longhand? Laptop, usually.
Stilettos or Uggs? Actually, I pretty much never take off my ecco sneakers!
Next up: A short story in Geektastic this summer. Then, my third novel, Once Was Lost, coming in October.
I could hang out with Sara all day long, in jeans (Sweetheart jeans from Old Navy, in fact, are a favorite of Sara's) and a t-shirt. She's the coolest. I want to know: What can Peanut say? Find out more about her on readergirlz.com!

I am looking forward to both Geektastic and Once Was Lost. Geektastic has a stellar lineup. The cover of Once Was Lost is gorgeous - Click here to see it.
I got an invite to the release of Geektastic, and I so SO wish I lived in NYC so I could go.
Everything fun happens in NYC.
I'll have to wait to read Sara's story just like the rest of the world!
And I agree LW, the cover of Once Was Lost is GORGEOUS!
I adore ONCE WAS LOST's cover!!
Ditto! I love the cover and can't wait to read the book.
Sara sounds lovely, doesn't she?
Yay for new works on the horizon!
