Happy New Year 2018! Jennifer Nielsen January 5, 2018

Happy New Year 2018!

 

Yes, I’m a little late, but I had a deadline for edits on TRAITOR’S GAME 2. I turned them in last night, celebrated by sneaking a slice of my daughter’s homemade chocolate cake, and now another day begins!

 

I want to share fun news, reminder news, and event news. First, the fun:

 

THE TRAITOR’S GAME has been listed on “Most Anticipated YA” lists for 2018 by Barnes & NobleHypable, Bustle, and the Stuck in YA Books blog. I sincerely hope you will love this book as much as I do!

 

Now, as a reminder, I will send a gift pack to anyone who pre-orders a copy of THE TRAITOR’S GAME. Instructions and what’s included are HERE. If you know you’re going to buy a copy anyway, why not do it now?

And…event news. I don’t have a complete list for where I’ll be in the coming months, and these are subject to change, but it’s a start! If you live near any of these, please put it on your calendar!

    This is so exciting! I would be so happy if you could make it to Florida! There are a handful of events, I am aware of, taking place in March:

    Southwest Florida Reading Festival

    UCF Book Festival

    Jax Book Fest 2018

    Book Fair and Writers Festival

    2018 AWP Conference and Bookfair

    And I’m sure there are more! I’ll also try talking to someone at the library I volunteer at!

    Have a great day! ❤ I love your work!

      These are all probably booked by now for authors; however, I will keep them in mind for pitches next year or later in the year. I’ve not been to Florida often and only once for a public event so I’d love to come back!

    You should come to Kentucky! I’m part of an advisory group at my library; I could suggest an authors day, or something😊

    Is there any news on the new False Prince movie deal? I understand things can go slow, but is it still a stand still?

      There may be some progress inching forward, but there’s nothing really to report, only some possibilities with promise. Fingers crossed!

    Boise, Idaho is the right state, but so far away. It would be awesome if you came to Spokane or Coeur d’ Alene sometime. Might have to go to Boise anyway. Sounds like you’ll be very busy this year! Good Luck!

    I just finished reading “A Night Divided” for my language arts enrichment class a few minuets ago, and i absolutely LOVED it. i know it came out a while ago, and i read the Ascendants Trilogy (which are my FAVORITE books) but i was unaware that you wrote this book! But i have one problem: What does Gerta do when she gets to the other side? please reply soon- its URGENT- because if i don’t know, i want be able to sleep tonight! (haha im just kidding. Kinda.) so thx!!!! 🙂

      Hi Taliah! Thanks for asking! On the other side, Gerta’s father and Dominic already have an apartment, but the family all crams into it along with Anna’s family and Mrs. Mueller until everyone gets settled. It’s actually Gerta who has the hardest time adjusting to life in the west – she’s just not used to so much freedom and so many options. But that all changes the day that Dominic first takes her to a library. She sees all the books and realizes she can read any of them, or all of them and get as much information about anything that she wants. And that’s when she knows she is where she wants to be.

        Hi Jennifer Neilsen!
        Thank you so much for responding. You made me so happy and exited when I saw your comment back to me! I told my friends at school, and they were so exited too! I’m going to read what you said to my Language Arts class, because they also wanted to know what happens next!
        Again, Thank you so so very much, you have no idea how exiting it was for me to have one of my favorite authors write to me!!!
