This week our theme is Anything Goes...... so I thought I'd take this opportunity to say how awesome my fellow YA authors are. I have recently been to two writing conferences and what struck me was how supportive and how much fun young adult authors are. At the RWA conference in San Francisco recently Amanda Ashby and I were treated like long lost friends by all those we met. There were 5 of the TFC girls there plus the Buzz girls and other YA authors. We spent most of our time laughing. It will be a long time before I forget the sight of Kelly Parra holding a glass of wine in one hand, a plate of cakes in another and trying to eat!!!
So here are some photos....... (apologies to those who escaped my camera.... you know who you are!!!!)

Yup. YA authors do rock! I'd love to have some of their top picks for the library of an alternative high school! (I wouldn't plug my blog, it's too lame anyway, but I'm about to order lots of books and need guidance! :)
