Q:I wanted to come to the nj meetup on the 4th. Do we buy your book and meet you? I know that's how book signings and meet ups I've been to went.

Oh, hooray! Come to the bookstore! There will be a panel, where the other authors and I will chat about our books, and an audience Q&A, and then we’ll sign books afterward and take selfies with you guys and talk with you all about whateverrrr. :) You should buy your book at the bookstore event. If you already have a copy from Amazon or from last week or something, I guess that’s fine too, but maybe don’t tell the nice bookseller? If you absolutely can’t afford the book and are borrowing it from the library, that’s ok, I can sign a notebook or kindle cover or something, and can still take a selfie with you.

I have a theory,” Sadie said. “That life is gathering the raw materials, and when we die, we get to make patterns out of our lives and relive them in whatever order we want. That way I can spend forever repeating the days when I was really happy, and never have to experience any of the sad days. So that’s how you live a really great life. You make sure you have enough good days that you want to go back to.

Extraordinary Means by Robyn Schneider

Synopsis: Up until his diagnosis, Lane lived a fairly predictable life. But when he finds himself at a tuberculosis sanatorium called Latham House, he discovers an insular world with paradoxical rules, med sensors, and an eccentric yet utterly compelling confidante named Sadie—and life as Lane knows it will never be the same.

Extraordinary Means will be released on May 26th with Harper Collins, and is available for pre-order now.

Justtttt in case you haven’t seen this yet, here’s my first stab at writing and producing something that isn’t book-shaped! Although, it is based on something book-shaped, which hopefully you’ll be picking up at your local bookstore next week! :)

I was so lucky to get to work with Cain again on this project! Fun trivia: I first directed Cain on my senior thesis film, First Kiss, at Carnegie Mellon. He celebrated his 14th birthday on our first day of filming, which was set in a graveyard. I remember us all remarking that he already had such a wonderful sense of presence as a young actor. 

Just my luck he moved to Los Angeles when we were casting age-appropriate roles for him again!

New and upcoming movie?!

You guys might try this one…

Nope not a movie, a book! Well, sort of a movie? A short film in the style of a movie trailer? Oh great, now even *I’m* confused…

The trailer for Extraordinary Means is my first stab at producing, and I am so, so proud of how it’s turned out so far. Most of this is due to the amazing cast and crew. Cain really is the perfect Lane, and Joanie is absolutely how I pictured Sadie. We were so lucky to find them. I’ll have some behind the scenes stuff up soon, including dispatches from our week of casting sessions, but in the meantime, let us all give Yulin a round of cute animal-shaped applause for steering this whole crazy ship. Yep, ship. Because tumblr.
