Booklist says of Debutante Katie Alender’s BAD GIRLS DON’T DIE “This is a promising debut for a new young author and will be a popular addition to any YA collection.”
Speaking of BAD GIRLS DON’T DIE, Katie is amazed and thrilled that the book has spent several days among the top selling books in BarnesandNoble.com’s Teen Fiction/Mysteries and Thrillers category–even some significant time in the #1 spot! When not busy taking screenshots of this exciting occurrence, Deb Katie can be found picking her jaw up off the floor.
Deb Meredith is pleased to announce that she has an interview tomorrow on Number One Novels . And she’ll be at MAYhem, the Bookhampton Mystery Festival next weekend, May 16 & 17–and on panels with some fantastic writers (like Linda Fairstein!).
Deb Eve invites everyone in the NYC area to join her at her NYC Launch Event on Wednesday, May 13, from 5 to 7 PM at The Action Center to End World Hunger located at 6 River Terrace in Battery Park City.
Debs past and present have donated items to the Brenda Novak online auction to benefit diabetes research. It’s just like eBay, but for charity! Hundreds of items of interest to readers, writers and anyone else will be available for bidding the entire month of May. The auction includes a signed advance copy of REAL LIFE & LIARS from Deb Kristina, from Graduate Deb Jenny Gardiner a signed copy of SLEEPING WITH WARD CLEAVER plus a critique of a partial by Jenny, plus two signed copies of DRIVING SIDEWAYS by Graduate Deb Jess Riley.
What We’re Reading
Deb Katie is reading Ron Clark’s The Essential 55 and Carrie Ryan’s Forest of Hands and Teeth.
Deb Kristina is reading Michigan authors right now, having just finished Base Ten by Maryann Lesert and just started Confessions of a Prep School Mommy Handler by Wade Rouse.
So glad to hear that Deb Kristina is reading my memoir, CONFESSIONS OF A PREP SCHOOL MOMMY HANDLER. Let me know (and your readers) what you think! And would love to be a guest at your ball one day!
My next memoir, fyi, publishes June 2. It’s titled, AT LEAST IN THE CITY SOMEONE WOULD HEAR ME SCREAM (Random House), and is about a neurotic urban couple who uproot their lives, quit their jobs and leave culture, consumerism, cable (along with Starbuck’s, Trader Joe’s and Banana Republic) behind in order to move to the Michigan woods and recreate their modern-day Walden Pond (to hilarious, disastrous but life-changing results)! It’s gotten raves from Tom Perrotta and Jen Lancaster.
Would love to have the Debs read and discuss!

Wade Rouse
