SMART CHICKS SIZZLED IN SCOTTSDALE!!!

With temperatures topping 110 degrees, Smart Chicks Melissa Marr, Kelley Armstrong, Alyson Noel, Holly Black, Sarah Rees Brennan, and Kimberly Derting were (more than) warmly welcomed by nearly 300 fans who cheered, asked fabulous questions, and even wore sparkly tattoos.

Melissa surprised one lucky reader with a brand new, never-before-offered ARC of her upcoming release DARKEST MERCY. Holly wowed the crowds with her Lightning Round (in which the Smart Chicks were forced to answer audience questions at the speed of light). And Sarah dazzled when she showed off her fencing moves…in her skirt and heels.

And in case you missed it, Smart Chick Jackson Pearce even put together a video montage of the event:



We just want to thank the Poisoned Pen Bookstore, the Scottsdale Public Library, and everyone who came out to see us…YOU WERE ON FIRE!!!!
