So, I'm thinking you guys know that ME SINCE YOU (my twentieth novel!) came out on February 18th, 2014, because so many of you read it and tweeted reviews, which I really appreciate.

And for those of you who cried while reading it, not to fret. I cried while writing it, too, like with HOW IT ENDS and ORDINARY BEAUTY.

It's just what happens.

Also, I'm really happy to say that on Saturday, May 3rd I'll be one of the participating authors signing books up at the always wonderful Hudson Children's Book Festival in Hudson, NY again this year. It's such a great event and the author line-up is very exciting this year, so I'm looking forward to seeing you there!

And finally, in less stellar news, I just got word that this blog will be breathing its last on June 25, 2014 so in the event I don't make it back here before then, I just really want to say thank you to everyone who took the time to drop in and visit. I know I haven't been a constant blogger -- the universe, with its quirky sense of humor has made sure of that -- but please know that I have very much appreciated the love and support sent my way.

Thank you, sincerely, for everything. And please feel free to wander over to Facebook and friend me there. You have two options: Search Laura Wiess for mainly author news or search Laura Battyanyi Wiess for all sorts of posts including book news.

You know I'll be happy to see you.
