News of the veriest variety!

ZOMG, people: I spy with my little eye, TWO BRADFORD GALLEYS side by side!
Yes, it's true--I came home from Thanksgiving weekend to find the oh-so-pretty galley for "Fashionista" waiting for me and immediately set about laying it next to the galley for "GoldenGirl" to soak in all of the Bradfordly lurveliness.
(Aside: please to disregard the mess of whatnot lying on the floor below my dining room table; I live like a writerly heathen shut-in, for reals.)
How cute are they together? I mean, they are cute separately, but when placed adjacent to each other? It is an excess of YA series style, right?

Right.

Not only that, but the Bradford team will be going multi-media on your butts, post-haste: we're gearing up to post a book trailer for the series, an exclusive author vid, and to go livelivelive with all of the various websites for the full Bradfordverse experience. We've also got some dates for y'all to take note of w/r/t all sorts of launchy fun:

1/7/09: "GoldenGirl" reading at the NYPL (Jefferson Market branch) along with some of your favorite YA authors (NY, NY)
1/26/09: LIVE author chat with blogger thepageflipper (a great chance for me to schmooze with those of you who aren't NYC-local)
1/27/09: "GoldenGirl" releases (have you pre-ordered your copy?)!
2/17/09: MediaBistro launch party for The Bradford Novels (NY, NY)

Details on all of the above to follow as we get closer to B-day. And if you're interested in writing up Bradford on *your* blog, swing by my author website and drop me a line: www.micolostow.com. Flattery will get you everywhere, dearies...

Keep an eye on the widget! I'm off to primp. So much to do, so little time. Only 49 days (and counting)...
