This is the first time I'm not doing a major tour for one of my books--it feels strange! And I'll actually be home with my family on both Valentine's Day and my birthday this year, hooray! But oh, how I will miss you.
The timing is great, though. I've got a few tight deadlines in the first half of 2012, so being able to work at home means I'll be a lot more productive (which means more books for you in 2013)! But I'll miss meeting booksellers, librarians, teachers, and especially teens this time around. I think I will be touring again in the fall when The Unwanteds: Island of Silence comes out.
The good news is that I'll be doing a few short visits here and there. This Thursday I'll be at CHANGING HANDS BOOKSTORE in Tempe, AZ for the launch party of DEAD TO YOU (call ahead to order personalized/signed copies--they ship almost anywhere). I'll be at the Chino Book Festival in Chino, CA on Sunday, Feb 26, signing in the Mrs. Nelson's Toys & Books booth. I'll also be visiting one of my favorite cities, Houston, for their Teen Book Festival in mid-April. As always, you can follow my travels on the TOUR page on my website. I will add more as they come along.
I hope you enjoy DEAD TO YOU! It's a stand-alone. And hopefully soon I'll be able to let you know what's coming next -- I can't wait to share the news! Stay tuned.
Thank you for buying my books! I really appreciate you.
xoxo
YAY Houston!

ReplyDeleteSeriously heartbreaking....please....really...needs a sequel :(
ReplyDeleteThis needs a sequel!!!! I need to know what happened to Ethan! Please please please.
ReplyDeleteThis book really needs a sequel. I couldn't put it down. It's killing me not knowing the outcome. Feels like we just got the prologue. Feels unfinished... That being said, an AMAZING read. Felt real. I was sucked in.
ReplyDeleteHi i really love your books but i was wondering if there going to be a movie about your WAKE series
ReplyDeleteThis book needs not only the sequel everyone craves, but also a prequel. I want to know the details about before...
ReplyDeleteI'll be able to let you know what's coming next -- I can't wait to share the news! Stay tuned.
ReplyDeletePLEASE MAKE A SEQUEL TO THIS BOOK!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
ReplyDeleteWhat a bummer. If I'd had a hint of the ending, I would not have purchased the book!
ReplyDeleteDead to You should have a sequel! The kid should not be left in limbo.
ReplyDeletethis book def needs a sequel.....loved the book... need to know who is really is and what happens with Cami????
ReplyDeletei really loved this book i mean really loved it.it was such a good plot and story.and omg the cliffhaning at the end was just awesome.very creative i think if a sequal was made the money and fans she would get would overshawdow the time and money spent to make it by at least triple. so in caclusion my life as a writer is much better now that i've read this book.it gave me insperation to think out of the box.so thank you with all my heart truly.
ReplyDeleteYou're actually considering using the terrible ending of this book as inspiration in your writing endeavors? Thank you for letting us know that so I will be sure to not read any of your books either.
DeleteThank you for that lovely comment. I'm so glad you liked it. :)
ReplyDeletePlease..... Please make a sequel. Please. I don't even... My mind is blown. Please?
ReplyDeleteYou half to make a sequel!!! I won't be able to think or sleep until I know what happens!!!! PLEEEAAAASSSSEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletewow. dead to you is one of thee best books I have ever read. The ending just kills me! I need to know what happens, I actually can't stop thinking about it. You made this story so interesting, and realistic. This book is truly amazing. Hands down one of my favourite authors! I just started this book today, and finished it today. Well written. You did an amazing job Lisa McMann. Love it.
ReplyDeletePlease write a sequel!!!!
ReplyDeleteI read Dead To You this summer, and I cried while reading it. It was so powerful, and the ending just killed me. Please take serious consideration in writing a sequel. It has bothered me non-stop since finishing it. Every time I think of reading another book, I think of Dead To You, and then I get all teary because it makes me so upset that the ending is a big cliffhanger. I BEG you...make a sequel. Even if its a few years before you finish it! Please! I just can't live life without knowing what happens to Ethan. He's my favorite book character ever, and I MUST find out! Thank you!
ReplyDeletePlease make a sequel! This book is the best book I have ever read. I really want to know what happens to Ethan and his family and Cami! PLEASE! I know writing books take a lot of time and effort but PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDead To You was one of the best books I have ever read, and I read it in 2 days! But it NEEDS a sequel, cause Dead To You is such a cliff hanger, and it would make so much more sense withva second one. Writing a book must take a lot of effort and time, but please Lisa, write a sequel! In positive all of tour fans would appreciate it soooo much! I cried whevi finished it. Like what's going to happen to the De Wilde's, and Ethan, AND Cami??? Please, please write a sequel! :(
ReplyDeleteHow can that be an ending? I am so disappointed! Great book but we need to know what happens!
ReplyDeletedead to you really needs a sequel!!!

ReplyDeleteI just finished Dead To You yesterday....it was a great read and I really got sucked into it, it had such a good plot, but when it ended I was so shocked and sad...this books NEEDS a sequel...it feels unfinished without it!!!! PLEASE GIVE US A SEQUEL!
ReplyDeleteIn desperate need of a squeal! I need to know what happens to Ethan.
ReplyDeleteMAKE A SEQUAL!! IM DIEING HERE!! PLEAAASEEE!!ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
ReplyDeleteThis is the first book I read by this author, and I can honestly say that I will not seek out anymore of her works based on this experience. If the writer can't even finish a story and leaves it without a continuation, what's the point? The kind of ending that's in this book leaves me cold
