I'm a writer of fantasy novels for teens, including DRINK SLAY LOVE, ENCHANTED IVY, ICE, INTO THE WILD, and OUT OF THE WILD. My next book, VESSEL, is about a girl who lives in a harsh desert land and is destined to sacrifice herself so her clan's goddess can inhabit her body... but her goddess never comes. It comes out in September 2012 from Simon & Schuster. I'm very, very, very excited about this.
In a desert land where serpents made of unbreakable glass fly through the sky and wolves made of only sand hunt within storms, Liyana is destined to be a vessel, to sacrifice herself so her clan's goddess can inhabit her body... but her goddess never comes.
Coming in September 2012 from
Simon & Schuster / Margaret K. McElderry Books.

Kirkus Reviews
"Having her way with the conventions of the genre, Durst crafts a fresh, modern, and humorous twist on the vampire novel. Lively characters and a sweet romance are icing on the cake." --

"An enchanting romp full of adventure, humor and cleverness!" --
Holly Black, New York Times bestselling author of The Spiderwick Chronicles and Tithe
"An amazing, wild ride with very high stakes, and the fate of humans and fairytale people alike on the shoulders of one determined girl.
This is even better than the first book!" --
Tamora Pierce, New York Times bestselling author of Terrier (Beka Cooper) and The Will of the Empress

LOL! The faerie godfather has struck!
I kinda prefer the faeries to the gories.
You double-crossed the faerie mafia? Ouch. They do my insurance--shall I slip in a good word for you? :)
Please check your e-mail, check my blog, tell your friends about my blog, and comment on my blog, or I will launch a full scale invasion of dwarves on your house!
P.S. Dwarves or Dwarfs? Dwarves just sounds better to me.
PSS. What the bleep is the faerie mafia?
PSSS. Yes, I said bleep instead of heck or h***. I felt like it, okay.
PSSSS. Read my first comment before you read this one.
LOL the horror!
What did you do to warrant such a grievance?!
Visit my blog too or the unicorn gets it....just kidding. Your blog is delightful and fun.
WOW. I love this. I also am having flashbacks to a prize I won at an NC state fair in 1989...
I had no idea the faerie mafia existed! Thanks for telling me. I shall go track them down... *zooms over to Yahoo Yellow Pages*
