So, the monthly bestseller list for Middle Grade Paperbacks landed aaaaand, to my genuine shock, Dust & Grim<\/strong> is a New York Times Bestseller? It hit #10 on that list and — I mean, wow, whoa, what? What?? Obviously a lot of you bought the book and that’s amazing, and now here we are? I’m floored. Thank you, all, and thanks to B&N for making this book the October Monthly Pick. Thanks to my agent, Stacia Decker, and also to to my editor, Deirdre Jones, who helped make this book as weird and scary and funny as it could be. FLORG BLESS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other news:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow, 3pm, I’ll be at Doylestown Bookshop at a pre-launch for the Wanderers<\/strong> sequel, Wayward<\/strong>. If you’re in the tristate area, I sure hope you come by. Event deets here<\/a>. I signed a bunch there, too, for shipping pre-orders — you can see the epic stacks over at my Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And next week I will be on a tour through parts of the south! Going from Atlanta to Asheville to Charlotte to Richmond to Alexandria, then home before hitting up a few more Pennsylvania dates. All the details are here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A reminder too that if you want a signed, personalized copy shipped to you, right now Malaprops has a special order form for exactly that purpose right here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will find me here at the Boston Globe<\/a> talking about BOOKS I DONE LIKED and about how reading horror fiction brings me comfort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some places included Wayward in their NOVEMBER BOOKS coverage: Yahoo<\/a>, Book Riot<\/a>, tor.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gonna be on some cool podcasts coming up — Dead Headspace, Terrifying Tomes, and some others. More when I have the links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twitter appears to now be violently diarrheaing the bed, so you can find me at the Instagram link above, or at Mastodon<\/a>, which is still a thing. Maybe I’ll go back to Tumblr or start an OnlyFans page. One never knows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, here are some nice things people have said about Wayward recently:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
