Thanks guys! The casting is not actually set in stone, but there are definitely some advantages there.:D Either way, I'm excited!

Thanks!

Any chance she'll be hitting Reno?

Unfortunately not . . . I did drive through Vegas last week though.:D

Salt Lake is closer, sadly.

Really??

* Maprilynne is showing just how bad she is at geography . . .

Oh come on, Brandon was just standing there, and you claim you were trying to copy his pose? We can see through your lies.

Dude! His hands were totally on his hips!!!!


I'm apparently just to smexxy for my own good.;)

Welcome!!! I love Broadway plays, too.

You like West Side Story? http://www.timewastersguide.com/forum/index.php?topic=6868.msg151172#msg151172

(By the way, the pregnant woman/penguin thing really cracked me up.  :D)

I currently live in Phoenix, AZ

Ha, ha!  Great place.  You'll have to say hi to my parents.  At church.  They're the Smyths.

Ha! *snort* I'll do that . . .

I'm going to continue to assume you don't exist, as it's much more fun to be posting in a forum where the author doesn't really exist, and i'll just assume you're a figment of my imagination.  :P


*waves fingers* Pay no attention to the woman behind the computer screen . . . :)

What took you to Phoenix?

Boy, that's a long story. My husband and I are both from Phoenix and on top of that, he has been accepted into the PhD of Philosophy program at ASU. However, the Arizona legislature still hasn't decided what the budget for the state schools will be, so ASU doesn't know if they will be able to fund him, and if they don't fund him, he won't attend. But while the AZ govn't was making their decision, we found the perfect house and interest rates were low. So, um, yeah, we moved here.:)

Look! Look! I finally got my act together and an internet connection to boot and am introducing myself!

Ready?

Okay, I am the female alter-ego of Brandon Sanderson!!!

Not really.:)

Okay, I'm Aprilynne Pike (although I do KNOW Brandon ;)) and I write YA fantasy, specifically, a series about faeries beginning with my debut, WINGS, which was released last month and has spent four weeks on the NYT Bestsellers list so far. (Come on, you know I HAD to throw that part in.;)) I currently live in Phoenix, AZ with my husband and three kids, aged almost 2,4, and 6. My husband just graduated from law school so when we go to parties we tell people, "Hi, we're the Pikes, he's a lawyer, she's an author, which means that one of us makes up fantastic tales for a living and the other one writes books." (Yes, thank you, thank you, I'll be here all night.;))

Hmmm, what else? I am a voracious reader. I read a bit of everything, but since I write YA I do read that genre more often than anything else. I'm quite a gym rat and love singing, especially Broadway music. I'm also a doula and childbirth educator and wear a pendant of a pregnant woman that everyone always thinks is a penguin.

Yeah, that's pretty much me. I just barely moved and released a book all at the same time which is why I've been so absent, but I should be around more now.:)

Thanks for having me!

Ha! I love that because actually, I was trying to copy Brandon's pose and apparently my raging hotness took over and instead of looking like Brandon, I look sexy.:D I wont say no to that!

And yes, yes, I do, in fact, exist  . . . I've just been very, very busy . . . and mostly internet-less.
