Author of the Month :D Embracing the Child . . .

Here’s another link that I’m excited about–this one to a website that has named me its AUTHOR OF THE MONTH!! The site is called Embracing the Child and the main feature of this honor is an interview.

Here’s an excerpt:

ETC: The voice of Cassie, the main character, rings so true, especially her thoughts and emotions as she makes entries into her journal. How were you able to achieve that authenticity, writing in the voice of a teenage girl?

Mandabach: One of my old friends who just finished the book emailed me saying, “Are you sure you’re NOT a 14-year-old girl?”

I’m pretty sure I’m not, but that’s the exciting thing about writing fiction–going deep into your imagination, bringing everything you know and feel, and living that alternate reality via language as you attempt to communicate it.

So how did I achieve authenticity in the voice of a teenage girl? (check out the whole interview at the link above to find out . . .
Peace, everybody, and talk to me!

OR NOT Sells Out Again! Book Launch Party; Charlotte, NC; Borders

It’s been tough keeping up on postings–just too busy.

I haven’t even told about my book launch party at Hillside Gardens, where we ran out of books.

Then I went to Charlotte, NC for visit to Myers Park HS–amazing students–and a fab party at the Trennings with Park Road Bookstore.

And today, when I did my thing at Borders at the the Chapel Hills Mall in Colorado Springs, they ran plumb out of Or Not!

I guess without the amazing Frazer Dobson of Park Road Books around, I’m a sell-out!

Details later–my friend and I have some papers to grade!
