Exciting News!

My sister Rebecca and I are so excited that we were able to announce this morning that FallenArchangel.com will be live streaming the CRESCENDO cover reveal.  CRESCENDO is the follow up to Becca Fitpatrick's NY Times Bestselling HUSH HUSH!!  Exciting Stuff.

What a Week for My Favorite Things!

The Holidays!

Of course everyone's life is crazy this time of year but, for those of you who don't know, I work in a church office which brings about a whole lot more crazy! BUT It's also a really great time of year. The kids try a little harder to behave, in hopes Santa will notice; people are generally a little nicer to each other and heck there's lots of junk food and presents!!! AND This week I got to spend a whole day with my Mom, which is an extremely rare treat :-)

HUSH HUSH / FallenArchangel

We released a fun little video yesterday, encouraging you to gift the gift of Hush, Hush this holiday season. We are thankful for Drew Doyon for doing this, he's a great guy and a super great sport for indulging us when we ask him for crazy things. We'll have more Patch goodness coming in 2010!!

Blue October

Ok so Kangaroo Cry was featured on NCIS last night and, by the way, it was awesome! Hearing the music and Justin's voice on my TV made me so proud!! And then at then end of the show Approaching Normal, their latest album, got a nice plug. Also last night Blue October performed at "Not So Silent Night" with The Fray, Boys Like Girls, and others. AND now today they have released a new video for JUMP ROPE which is a huge single in Germany!! The boys in BO certainly are having a happy holiday season!

Big Day

Today has been a big, busy day for us over at FallenArchangel.com. We made the announcement that we are now the OFFICIAL Hush, Hush Fansite. How exciting. We are still celebrating with give-aways of books (courtesy of Simon & Schuster) and bookmarks.

Come on over and check us out at FallenArchagel

Fallenarchangel.com. Spreading the Hush, Hush love.

I'm gonna let my sister Rebecca say it for me, since she said it so well!!

I couldn't let October 13, 2009 pass without mentioning the small detail of today being the official release day of Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick. Not only because I think it's an incredible book that you should all read, but as I've mentioned before my sister and I started Fallenarchangel.com, a Hush, Hush fansite.

Yep, we love it that much.

We've got all sorts of great stuff, a forum, a blog (for those of you who have read it you get why it's called The Coldwater High eZine) contests, twitter, even an "Ask Becca" thread on the forum where she'll stop by on Mondays to answer questions. She is just that super cool and down to earth. Just ask Lisa and Laura who posted 13 reasons why they love Hush, Hush!

While it's still insane to think we have an actual fansite, things have REALLY started to get exciting. Especially with the release today! Jenn (that's me!) and I are going to be at our local Borders in Scranton, PA this Friday from 7-10 pm to help promote Hush, Hush with giveaways (bookmarks, posters, a signed copy!) and a reading. Eeek, we even plan on wearing t-shirts with Fallenarchangel.com on them. Becca will be in Philly next month so we are working on arranging a time to meet her. In person!!! We've had the pleasure of working with Simon & Schuster here and in the UK. So many amazing things and more in the works.

And let me tell you Becca'a fans are incredible. One of the best parts about starting the site (aside from getting to work with Becca) is meeting the people who love Hush, Hush like we do. We have 119 amazing members who have been already built an awesome community with pics of who they see as Patch and Nora, other books and TV shows the love and more. Then there's Brittany who has been pumping out some killer banners using the teaser lines we posted the last ten days leading up to the release today. I'm telling you, they are just the best fans a girl could ask for. Becca is one lucky lady!

Hopefully if you've read Hush, Hush you will come join the fun and show your love for Becca. And if you haven't read it, you'll go pick a copy up today and come hang out with us when you finish at http://www.fallenarchangel.com/.

So here's a BIG shout out to Becca Fitzpatrick on her very first release day! Thank you for writing one of the best stories I've ever read, and for being so supportive and just plain awesome. I am beyond excited to see what lies ahead. Hmm, Crescendo (the follow up to Hush, Hush) anyone? Heck yeah!

Busy, Busy, Busy

I've been super busy lately with some really great stuff!

My sister Rebecca and I have started a HUSH, HUSH fansite, blog & forum called FallenArchangel. HUSH HUSH is a fabulous new YA book by Becca Fitzpatrick which debuts on October 13. After reading an ARC we fell in love with the book and decided to go for it!! It's been a lot of work, and is still in progress BUT check it out! Becca has been a great help and we are currently working with the publisher on some great stuff.

Also working with our local TwilightMoms to make plans for the Midnight Release of New Moon. Lots of good stuff coming this Fall!

Hush, Hush Book Trailer

I can't tell you how excited I am for the October release of Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick. For a little something to hold you over until the book comes out click here.

Hush, Hush & 500 Days of Summer

I have decided to hold off on posting a review of Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick, until we get closer to the release date, probably sometime next month. I will tell you that I LOVE this book, absolutely love it :-)

I was really excited to see (500) Days of Summer over the weekend. It was only in for 3 days - I was supposed to see it Friday, had a little snag in the plans; was busy with the family all day Saturday; but finally made it on Sunday afternoon. I was not disappointed. The movie was really great and the actors were fabulous. My heart opened up to Gordon Joseph-Levitt as Tom Hansen, he did such a great job with this character, and then broke for him as well. And Zooey Deschenel as Summer Finn was absolutely beautiful.

Love the tagline.... "This is not a love story. This is a story about love." It hits the nail on the head.

I had a few 'issues' with things near the end, but would totally recommend it. If you have the chance to see this movie, by all means..do!

Hush, Hush

Well thanks to my fabulous sister Becky, I spend my night last night reading an ARC (advance reader copy) of Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick. I will be writing about this later, so stay tuned!
