Signed copy of HUSH, HUSH and CRESCENDO (arc) by BECCA FITZPATRICK

By

I adored Hush, Hush and I just finished Crescendo.  I was lucky enough to attend the Orange County Book Fest last Sunday and had Becca Fitzpatrick sign my Hardback copy and my ARC to give away on my blog.  I will have a review of Crescendo (even better than Hush, Hush) up soon.  This series would make a wonderful movie! 

 
Becca Fitzpatrick at the OC BookFest on October 3, 2010
Here are some of the things Becca talked about there:
The third book, Tempest, will be out next year.
She doesn’t like roller coasters — they make her nervous and throw up.
Her favorite color is red. 
Her favorite authors are Sandra Brown and Diana Gabaldon.
Her favorite young adult author is Lauri Halsi Anderson.
She makes up stories for her children. (I hope she writes those down!)
She writes every night from 7 to 9:30 after her children are asleep.

  36. Hi Mary,

    Congratulations on your new blog!

    I am a new follower of this blog via GFC.

    I visited Becca Fitzpatrick’s web site and learned that Becca’s husband surprised her by enrolling her in a writing class in 2003. It was in that class that she started writing HUSH, HUSH. In Sept 2008, the book was sold to Simon & Schuster and Becca’s writing career was off and running.

  41. Thanks for the giveaway 😀 I’ve entered – can you believe I haven’t read these books yet? I don’t know where I’ve been hiding for the past year or so… haha 🙂

  42. I want to win this! I filled out the form bbut forgot to mention that I did go to her website and my comment of what I found interesting is that she is LDS, because I am as well. She didn’t come out and say it in so many words but she graduated from BYU and lived in Utah:)
    Also, on her blog I did not see a place to follow her but I am following her blogs through goodreads.

    So in all I have +10 as I have done everything

  44. OMG! This is an absolutely awesome, amazing and quite frankly mind-blowing giveaway! Just what I’ve been looking for! Have been dying to get my hands on copies of these books! Hope I win!

  47. Thanks for the fab giveaway! Great blog, byt the way! 🙂

    I visited Becca’s site, but it seems pretty much everything has already been said so..Becca told me on Twitter she thinks she has a terrible singing voice, I think not!! 😀

  61. Thanks for the giveaway! Something interesting about Becca Fitzpatrick’s site is that the lighting soundtrack (for the Crescendo countdown) is very good white noise.

  65. Hm.. Thanks so much for making this international! 🙂 I visited Becca’s website and was astonished to find that she joined the BASKETBALL team in her sophomore year!

  66. I checked out Becca Fitzpatrick’s web and found it so cute (and bloodthirsty! :D) of her and her sister creating horror stories starring mean kids being pushed to their death. That’s… well, creative.

    +7 entries yeah!

    I can’t wait to read cresendo! Love Becca fitzgerald this site looks so well organized!

  84. When you said post a comment each day for an extra entry, I assumed you meant a meaningful comment, but judging from some that I’ve seen that might not be the case. Can you let me know?

    And if it doesn’t have to be meaningful. I guess this is an entry…
