Happy Almost Autumn! I hope your summer was wonderful, and you found time for lots of beach reading!This is such a busy time of year, I’m gonna try to keep this enewsletter brief.

1) Wild Sky, the second book in my YA Night Sky Series, co-written with my daughter Melanie, comes out 10/6/15 in e-book, hardcover, & trade paperback from Sourcebooks Fire & audio from Blackstone Audio!2) I’ll be signing copies of Wild Sky at the Barnes & Noble in Framingham, MA on Friday, Oct. 16 at 7:00 p.m.  (Alas, Mel will not be there, but I will have signed bookplates!) 3) I’m leading another book group at my favorite local library!  We’ll be discussing Out of Control (Kenny and Van’s book, and the fourth in my Troubleshooters series) at the Bacon Free Library in South Natick, MA on Wednesday, Oct. 14 at 7:00 p.m. 4) I’ll be speaking to a group of librarians about the importance of LGBTQ fiction in Natick, Massachusetts on September 29. 5) Alas, there’s no virtual signing for Wild Sky, but the wonderful folks at Sourcebooks will send you a signed bookplate.  (Details below!) 6) The movie we filmed in June—RussianDoll--is moving along quite nicely in post-production. Can’t wait until it’s ready for viewing! ****** And the details: 1) Wild Sky, the second book in my YA Night Sky Series, co-written with my daughter Melanie, comes out 10/6/15 in e-book, hardcover, & trade paperback from Sourcebooks Fire & audio from Blackstone Audio! In Wild Sky, Skylar, Milo, Dana, and Calvin are back, searching for Dana’s long-missing sister, Lacey, when Cal’s personal bully Garrett approaches them, asking for help with a pressing problem of his own. I love writing about team dynamics—whether the members of a team are Navy SEALs or teenagers. So bringing Garrett into the mix, and forcing Sky and Cal to work with him, was fun. We challenge wheelchair-user Calvin pretty extensively in Wild Sky—and hope readers love his journey as much as we did! Here are some helpful links to your fav online booksellers, and to more info about this book: BN and NookAmazon and KindleiBooksKoboIndieBoundMore about Wild Sky at my website at : www.suzannebrockmann.com/books/night-sky-series/wild-sky/​***** 2) I’ll be signing copies of Wild Sky at the Barnes & Noble in Framingham, MA on Friday, Oct. 16 at 7:00 p.m.  (Alas, Mel will not be there, but I will have signed bookplates!) Friday, October 16, 2015 — Framingham, MA

Melanie's unable to attend, but I'll have bookplates that she's signed! (Sorry 'bout that! It's a busy time of year!) ***** 3) I’m leading another book group at my favorite local library!  We’ll be discussing Out of Control (Kenny and Van’s book, the fourth in my Troubleshooters series) at the Bacon Free Library in South Natick, MA on Wednesday, Oct. 14 at 7:00 p.m. Last month’s discussion of Over the Edge was so much fun, we’re doing it again! Come join us!Wednesday, October 14, 2015 -- South Natick, MABook Discussion of Out of Control (TS #4)
Location: Bacon Free Library58 Eliot StreetSouth Natick, MA 01760
Time: 7:00 – 8:00 p.m.Open to the publicProgram: Discussion of Out of Control (TS #4 – Ken & Savannah) with author Suzanne Brockmann ***** 4) I’ll be speaking to a group of librarians about the importance of LGBTQ fiction in Natick, Massachusetts on September 29. I hope to see many of my local librarian friends there! ***** 5) Alas, there’s no virtual signing for Wild Sky, but the wonderful folks at Sourcebooks will send you a signed bookplate. I usually do a virtual signing for the hardcover edition of each new book, but this year, both Amazon and BN’s online stores set the pre-order price for Wild Sky so low, I simply couldn’t compete. The virtual signing price would’ve been more than twice as much and I did a very non-scientific poll on Facebook, where most readers agreed that, yeah, signed books are fun, but that super-low price for a hardcover book (!!!) was even more fun! So here’s the compromise that Sourcebooks is offering readers in the U.S. and Canada: A free signed bookplate! There are two (2) ways to get a bookplate signed by Melanie and me: 1) Pre-order the hardcover or paperback of Wild Sky and email your name, mailing address, email address, telephone number and pre-order number to [email protected] with the subject line "Wild Sky Pre-Order" to submit your entry.  Email entries must be received before 11:59 PM ET on October 5, 2015. 2) Of course, no purchase is necessary—there’s a Mail-in Entry option!  Just print your name, mailing address, e-mail address, date of birth and the phrase “Wild Sky” on a standard-size postcard and send via snailmail to: Publicity, c/o Sourcebooks, Inc., 10 E. 1935 Brookdale Rd, #139, Naperville, IL 60563. Postcard entries must be postmarked before October 5th and received by October 26, 2015. One entry per person!Offer open to the first 1000 requests! You can get more info (fine print!) about Sourcebooks’ signed bookplate offer athttp://books.sourcebooks.com/wildskypreorder/  And again, my apologies for not holding the virtual signing. (And yeah, I know. Bookplate. <sigh>) ***** Thank you much for your time, attention, and support! Happy reading! Love,Suz
