Tangled party/signing on Jan 20th in NYC!
Ten years ago, when my first novel came out, I had a book party at Bank Street Book Store in NYC. I wore black leather pants. And now - to celebrate the publication of my new book, Tangled - Bank Street is hosting another book party/signing/reading on Wednesday, January 20th from 5:30-6:45pm. Please join me there! I just had a baby seven weeks ago, so I most certainly won't be in leather pants. But this is a wonderful opportunity to ditch the elastic and break out a real pair of jeans.
We will have food, drinks, and many copies of Tangled for you to check out. This party is open to the public, so please spread the word and bring friends.
Hope to see you there!

grateful for my writer friends
It's funny. Sometimes when I tell people about being a writer they ask me if it's really competitive and cutthroat with other authors, if we don't give away trade secrets to each other, etc. I'm always surprised by the question because the teen-author world is SO NOT THAT. I can't imagine a more supportive field. Last week, I had a lovely dinner with some great author friends - some I've been friends with for years and some I just met. It was one of those perfect warm NYC nights, an elegant restaurant, and eight of us gathered around the table talking about our kids, reality TV, and - yes - writing. Clockwise from top left: Sarah Mlynowsi, Julia Devillers, Coe Booth, Wendy Mass, Mariah Fredericks, E.R. Frank, me, E. Lockhart. If anyone got lost in that roundup of names, I'm in the center of the front row.
Thanks, friends! And thanks, Coe, for emailing us the picture. I had my camera, but the waiter held it upside down and couldn't ever find the button. Oh, well.
Love,
Carolyn

Tangled cover, Twitter, Facebook
The most exciting news here is that I can now share the cover of my new novel, Tangled. Can I just say that I am SO EXCITED for Tangled to come out?! The release date is late December 2009 (just in time for you to use those holiday gift cards!). In a few months, I'll be having contests on this blog, so be sure to check back for your chance to win signed advance copies and signed hardcovers.
In the meantime, I am now on Twitter and I'm actually updating my Facebook page on a semi-regular basis. So if you want to hear about my sometimes-daily details, then friend me, follow me, all that good stuff.
I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the Tangled cover. I hope you love it as much as I do!
Love,
Carolyn
