Hey everyone!

Holy moly I've been a bad blogger!

BUT!  I'm making up for it today.  I'm guest blogging over at Tynga's Reviews to kick off PARANORMAL SUMMER FEST!  I'm talking about what (IMO) makes for great paranormal romantic suspense.  So if you're a fan of reading or writing paranormal romances, head on over and see what I have to say.

Also, Tynga was cool enough to run an immensely fabulous re-create CRESCENDO's cover contest!  I can't wait to see all the different cover ideas readers come up with.  Pl...

Happy Tuesday, guys :)

 

I'm sitting here with a heating pad draped across my lap, trying to get my legs to feel somewhat normal again. It was gorgeous in Fort Collins yesterday, so I got up, went for a three-mile run...followed it up with a ten-mile bike ride, then did some gardening (which included digging massive holes to plant bushes), made dinner from scratch (which included a whole lot of bouncing around my kitchen), did the whole soccer practice thing (which, oddly, included a whole l...

Hey everybody :)

I love Friday Five.  The whole list thing makes me feel really organized, lulling me into a false sense of security that my life is NOT chaotic.  Grin. 

5.  Let's see, what's new?  Well for one, I have a cover for CRESCENDO!!  I've been sitting on this baby for months, watched it go through transformation after transformation, and it feels really, really good to share it at long last.  I am in love.  And you see the lightening?  That was my idea.  Brilliance, I tell you.  (Wel...

Hey everyone!  Happy Wednesday night! 

I have a busy couple of days coming up, so I wanted to make sure to squeeze in a post before things go Crazy (yes, with a capital C).   First of all, I will be at the Teen Lit conference in Denver this weekend.  If you're going to be there too, come say hi!  I'm especially excited about the conference, because local artist Laurie Maves is going to be there to chalk-draw CRESCENDO's cover.  Yes, you heard right.  I am releasing CRESCENDO's cover this week...

Hey!

So obviously I've been really REALLY bad about blogging.  Shame on me.  I'm using Facebook and Twitter more and more these days, and blogging less and less.  So if you aren't following me on Twitter, or if you haven't friended me on Facebook, and want to stay in the loop, please do! 

On Twitter, I'm @becfitzpatrick

You can find me on Facebook HERE or
Of course, I'm still planning to blog, but sometimes it takes me a few days to catch up on stuff.  So if you're into instant gratificat...

Hey, guys!

Exciting CRESCENDO news.  I finished my edits!  YAY!  No, seriously.  YAY!!!!  It feels amazing to think I've completed another book.  I know I still have line edits, copy edits and pass pages, but I'm 95% of the way, and it feels really, really good.  Two books! 

Anyway, I am way belated on posting all kinds of things.  And I am way, way belated on answering emails, Twitter DMs, Facebook messages, Facebook wall posts...yeah.  I could go on and on.  I promise to start addressing tha...

Dropping by to make a quick announcement, which is that I'll be in Toronto this week signing copies of HUSH, HUSH!  Fellow author Lisa McMann (WAKE, FADE, GONE) will be with me.  If you're in the area, we'd love to see you!

Hey, guys!

So, yeah.  Back from Arizona and California!  Actually, I got back late, late Saturday night (or maybe early Sunday morning) but I'm just now getting around to posting.  It always takes me a couple days to settle back into my routine.  Let's just call it travel detox.  I must say, as much as I like eating out, I think I've eaten out more the past couple of weeks (throwing my Texas tour into the mix here) than I have in two years, and I think I can now say I'm officially sick of eati...
