Upcoming Releases and Events!

Oh my, so much new stuff. Where do I begin?

Releases:

First up, THE KARMA CLUB paperback releases on May 24...that's like 18 days away! I can hardly believe it. If you haven't pre-ordered, DO! Here, I'll make it really easy for you. CLICK HERE! It has a fancy new cover and everything. Read all about the book here.

Next up is MY LIFE UNDECIDED! Hoorah! It releases on June 7 (which is less than a month away!) If you haven't seen the trailer yet, be sure to watch it here. You can also read an excerpt there. I'm so excited about this book. It's actually my favorite book I've written thus far (shh...don't tell that to my other books). And not just because it's shiny and new and has an awesome cover. But because I really do love this character. She's very different than any of my other characters...and really nothing like me. At times, while I was writing, I felt as though I were channeling her from some far off place. Anyway, you can pre-order that one too! Look, I'll make it just as easy: CLICK HERE!

Reviews:

The reviews for MY LIFE UNDECIDED are starting to roll in! Publisher's Weekly called it, "An amusing coming-of-age story with many funny moments." Check out the full review here!

Big News and Tattered Cover!

We'll I've been promising you big news...and here's the big news!

Just yesterday it was announced in Publisher's Marketplace that I sold my fifth book to my young adult publisher, Farrar, Straus, Giroux!!!!

The book is called 52 REASON TO HATE MY FATHER and it's about...well, I'll just let the announcement speak for itself. :)

Jessica Brody's 52 REASONS TO HATE MY FATHER, in which a teen heiress, famous for her partygirl antics and tabloid headlines, is forced by her ever-absent mogul father to take on a different low-wage job every week for a year of life

-- and love -- lessons if she wants any hope of receiving her trust fund, to Janine O'Malley at Farrar, Straus Children's, for publication in Spring 2012, by Bill Contardi at Brandt & Hochman (World English).

I'm so thrilled to be able to work on another book with my fantastic editor, Janine O'Malley! So thanks, FSG for believing in me and buying my next book!

Thanks to everyone who came out to my LA book signing and release party last night. It was such a blast! Check out the pictures below!
