NCL news to share!

First off, have you checked out Allan Woodrow's villainous blog yet? He's the author of the upcoming series The Rotten Adventures of Zachary Ruthless (HarperChildren's, Summer 2011) and in his latest post, him and the series illustrator--the utterly evil Aaron Blecha--are plotting some serious schemes.

In other news...Erica O'Rourke won the Golden Heart this weekend at RWA in the YA category--yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy!!!! We are STOKED like woah about this. Erica has written a fantastic urban fantasy series for teens and it is dark and hot and all things of awesomeness in between, let me tell you. But we can't tell you anything more about it...yet. Stay tuned for future announcement on this new series!

Read Erica's blog post about it and how she got hugged by a certain MAJORLY FAMOUS AUTHOR ::swoon::

And for those of you writers who HAVEN'T entered in Sara's contest from yesterday, what are you waiting for??

Congrats to Erica. Big Yay!
And as for Allan, well, Zachary's evil plans must be stopped. Now.

Actually I'm dropping by to let you know the word STOKED is an old surfer term from the '60's. (I know these things.) But STOKED LIKE WOAH definitely belongs to NCL. Yup.
