In case you missed any of these great blogs...

One of the biggest book review blogs, The Story Siren loved Hush, Hush. Check out her glowing review here.

Becca did a super fun guest post on Reverie Book Reviews about bad boys. Hmmm, any guesses on who inspired this? Patch, anyone? You can check that out here.

The Pure Imagination blog featured Patch as the fictional character they love. Pics and all! Stop by and see them here.

The Novel Bookworm reviewed Hush, Hush and both her and her 15 year-old daughter loved it! Read about that here.


Fantastic Book Review did a hysterical "unorthodox" review of Hush, Hush. You can find it here.

HUSH HUSH Release Celebration

Last night we had a HUSH HUSH Release Event at our local Borders store. The staff there was great and we spent several hours gushing to everyone in the Borders Ink / Young Adult section about HUSH HUSH, Becca & FallenArchangel.
We gave away 3 posters; a HUSH, HUSH ARC; a HUSH, HUSH audiobook & a signed copy of HUSH, HUSH. (And lots of our new FallenArchangel bookmarks.) We also helped to sell quite a few copies of HUSH, HUSH. It was a great night and we look forward to doing it again!!

Think You're Excited About The HUSH, HUSH Release? Here's What Becca Has To Say!

Becca Fitzpatrick, author of HUSH, HUSH has been kind enough to be our Guest Blogger today in celebration of the official release of HUSH, HUSH. Thanks Becca for this message to all of the fans at FallenArchangel.com!!


Hi, everyone!

Wow. I've spent the past half hour trying to figure out how to explain how I feel right now, on the day of HUSH, HUSH's launch, but every attempt is falling short! Ecstatic, amazed, freaked out, terrified, honored and even surreal doesn't quite seem big enough. I've spent six years getting here, and along the way, there have been the very highest of moments, and moments when I locked myself in the bathroom, crying over the rejection letter that I swore would be the one that broke me. Just over a week ago, I went back through my old computer files and dug out the earliest draft of HUSH, HUSH I could find – dated February 2004. Reading through it made me realize just how far I've come – not only in terms of writing and storytelling, but as a person. I've been through the publishing world's refining fire, so to speak, and even though I never thought the day would come when I'd say this, I'm happy it was such a struggle. Look where it's brought me! I'm watching a dream I've held in my heart since I was eight years old coming true, and nothing can top that. This is one of the most memorable days of my life, and it's awesome to be here sharing it with you guys. So thanks for being here!

And now a word on Fallen Archangel. Buckets of thank-yous and appreciation to Rebecca and Jenn for creating and maintaining this numero uno fansite! I love it so much that I want to be a regular, participating member – you guys are too much fun to hang out with for me to want it any other way! After chatting with Jenn and Rebecca, we've agreed to set aside Mondays as Ask Becca A Question Day. Every Sunday, Jenn will unlock the Ask Becca topic, and on Monday I'll answer approximately three questions that are posted. The questions can be anything! Maybe you want to know what inspired me to write HUSH, HUSH, or maybe you're an aspiring author, and want a behind-the-scenes peek at what it's really like publishing a book. Anything goes. Every Monday, I'll stop in and do my best to answer whatever's on your mind. So, yeah. Starting thinking up those questions!

Thanks for being a part of this community, and I'll see you guys back here later. Right now, I'm going to turn up the music, order in pizza, and celebrate!!

Becca

Hush, Hush teaser #9

The older woman waiting for admittance looked at me, then over her shoulder at Patch, who was vanishing down the hall.
"Honey," she told me, "he looks slippery as soap."
"Good description," I mumbled. "A girl could lather up in soap like that."

Hush, Hush teaser #7

Without meaning to, I stole a look at Patch. I found a measure of consolation in having him at my side. Then, he flashed a grin. “Scared, Angel?”

He moved behind me, put his hands on my hips, and positioned me in front of the table. He slid his arms around me and took hold of the pool stick.

Hush Hush teaser #3

My face was level with his. He fixed me with a dark inviting smile. And that’s when I realized this moment had been dancing around the edge of my fantasies for several days now.

Hush, Hush teaser #2

“Of course it’s weird. But this is Patch we’re talking about. He has a few screws loose. I’m going to take a wild guess and say…gang fight? Prison scars? Skid marks from a hit and run?”
