I am touring the UK & Ireland.  I'll be at YALC in London, then in Cork, Dublin, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Sheffield, Nottingham, Manchester and Liverpool.   I'll be with Holly Bourne, Non Pratt, Amy Alward, Simon Savidge, Claire Hennessey, Jennifer E. Smith, Carlie Sorosiak and Katherine Webber.  Come say hi.

Genuine Fraud isn't out until Sept 5, but we'll have advance copies at YALC.  At all other events -- I'll read from the book, and we can also talk about Dramarama, We Were Liars, Fly on the Wall, Frankie Landau-Banks, The Boyfriend List, etc.   Those books will be for sale and I'll sign anything -- and the We Were Liars deluxe edition will be at the Waterstones events, as it's exclusive to them.

Hope to see you there.  Schedule is below and will get larger if you click on it!

My next book is GENUINE FRAUD, publishing in September 2017. Coming from Penguin Random House in the USA, Allen & Unwin in AU, and Hot Key in the UK and Ireland.  You can pre-order it in the USA, here. 

        Imogen is a runaway heiress, an orphan, a cook, and a cheat.

        Jule is a fighter, a social chameleon, and an athlete.

        An intense friendship. A disappearance. A murder, or maybe two.

        A bad romance, or maybe three.

        Blunt objects, disguises, blood, and chocolate.

        The American dream, superheroes, spies, and villains.

        A girl who refuses to give people what they want from her.

        A girl who refuses to be the person she once was.

 

 

And, I'm thrilled to announce the WE WERE LIARS DELUXE EDITION will be in stores May 23, 2017 in the USA.

It includes all-new love letters from Gat to Cadence, recipes, book club discussion questions, selections from the original book proposal, an essay by the author, teacher goodies, a nowhere-else seen sneak-peek at Genuine Fraud, and more.  All copies of the first printing are autographed and twenty special copies will be released signed with colored ink and rubber stamps.  Pre-order here.

Zoella Book Club!  She (Zoella) picked eight books and I have read a bunch of them and they all look great -- Rainbow Rowell! Nicola Yoon! Jennifer Niven!   And lots of others.   Plus I wrote one of them: We Were Liars. 

The club is sponsored by W.H. Smith, in the UK, but the exclusive content is available for everyone to see. The main club page is here -- with links to videos, playlists, interviews and exclusive outtakes, plus sample chapters of all the books. 

Here's my interview about We Were Liars. 

Here are the outtakes from the book (deleted scenes). 

Here's Zoella chatting about the book, plus a schedule of events related to We Were Liars (and a vote in Sept).

There will be more content rolling out soon, and click here to find it.

 

And here's the video where she talks about all the books -- great if you're trying to decide what to read this summmer.

We Were Liars and lots more, in Zoella's book club.

My MG series is UPSIDE-DOWN MAGIC -- co-written with Sarah Mlynowski and Lauren Myracle.  Book 2 comes out May 31, 2016.  Here's a link to the chapter excerpt, the audiobook sample, plus games and a quiz.
