Do you live in Southern California?

If you live in Southern California, come check out the book launch for Because You Love to Hate Me (for more details, see other posts: discussing villains, chatting with Ameriie, the pre-order promo, back cover reveal & anthology pairing, front cover reveal, original book blog post announcing the anthology, original EW cover reveal post (read Ameriie's introduction)).

Editor & author Ameriie is moderating a panel on the young adult villain-themed anthology, with Christine Riccio, Cindy Pon, Sarah Enni, Andrew Smith, and me as the panelists! It will be held at The Grove Barnes & Noble at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, July 12. Come one and all as we discuss villains and those pesky little black hearts of theirs.
