How I'm participating in the challenge:
This year I am going to try to highlight just one author each day that I am really taken with. If I can't come up with one, it may be a book, a song, or a surprise!
Not only did R.J. Anderson write an amazing novel called Ultraviolet (my review here), but she is also super sweet. After reading Ultraviolet, which in a nutshell is a beautiful and thought-provoking story with a twist, I was so infused with awe that I wrote her an email.
It was the first time I'd ever done that. And she emailed me back.

It was amazing and made my day.
I am now eagerly awaiting the sequel to Ultraviolet, called Quicksilver, which isn't due out until 2013. If you haven't read anything by Anderson yet, I highly recommend Ultraviolet. If you are into things more faery, she also has a series called Faery Rebels (that begins with the novel Knife) and another series that begins with Swift.
Ultraviolet sounds good! I'll have to see if our library has that one! I have read her Faery Rebels books thus far, although I read Spell Hunter (the first one) and Wayfarer (the second). Both were fantastic. I asked her about the titles, and apparently Knife and Swift are the UK titles, and the titles I read (while the same books) are the U.S. titles. I wonder if that's changed, though, as I noticed the final book is just called Arrow! Anyway, excellent choice for A! :-)
