The night before last my teenage daughter told me her friend had got her Seventeen issue in the mail that had my book. "Tell her to bring it over right now" I demanded. But alas, her friend was at work, so I figured I'd have to wait. But the next morning I was in line at the grocery store and there it was! I picked up four copies and couldn't wait to get to the car and open one up. It's on page 135, by the way.
Here's what it says about The Stolen One:
"Intense scandel, royal drama, and an insanely sexy love triangle makes this story set in Elizabethan times impossible to put down."
There's a three flame "On Fire" rating (the highest) and a photo of Jessica Biel on the beach with a book and a caption that reads - "Hey Jess, drop the snoozer and pick up one of these must reads!"
Very cool. I dragged the magazine around all yesterday to show friends.
In more news:
The Stolen One has been nominated to the BBYA list - Best Books for Young Adults - put out by the ALA. There is still more voting before the final list, but it's extremely gratifying to be nominated!
And, Kirkus has a very well written and NICE review up for The Stolen One. You can read the whole review on Barnes & Noble on The Stolen One page (which they have titled "Stolen One" - I've emailed them to correct this):
"As [readers] revel in Kat's clear-as-a-bell, first-person observations of Tudor England's dangerous liaisons and fairy-tale gowns, teens will also relate to a girl who struggles not only to find her place but to know her heart."
