This is a picture book in the making. I can just see it now…
On Saturday, I went over to the Authorpalooza at my local Barnes and Noble. There were dozens of authors, and it was such an amazing event! I took a stack of books to get signed, and was completely bummed when I realized I hadn’t brought some of the books by authors who were there. Always next time, right?
Brandon Sanderson also showed up last minute to do a signing, and his line was ginormous.
That was just the last 1/4 of the line. See, I’m not making it up. And here’s me and my critique group buddy, Shallee McArthur, waiting in the line.
Okay, so really she waited while I went to get my books signed… since I didn’t actually bring any of my Brandon Sanderson books to get signed because I didn’t get the last minute FB post announcing he would be there. #TechnologyFail But I guess that’s okay, because that would’ve been ANOTHER big bag of books to carry, and I’m doubting my back could’ve taken it.
ANYWAYS, what are some fun things you’ve been doing in your life recently??
Hey all!
Sorry I’ve been MIA, but you can find me blogging over at the Writer Therapy blog. The webseries is launching in TWO DAYS – yeah, I can’t really believe it’s actually happening. This has been a long time in the making, and sometimes it felt like it would never happen
Anyways, there are lots of contests going on at the blog, and on the FB page and twitter, so make sure you check it out!
You can check out the youtube trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=r79K75zVGVA
CONJURE: Be careful what you search for…
Emma Guthrie expects this summer to be like any other in the South Carolina Lowcountry–hot and steamy with plenty of beach time alongside her best friend and secret crush, Cooper Beaumont, and Emma’s ever-present twin brother, Jack. But then a mysterious eighteenth-century message in a bottle surfaces, revealing a hidden pirate bounty. Lured by the adventure, the trio discovers the treasure and unwittingly unleashes an ancient Gullah curse that attacks Jack with the wicked flesh-eating Creep and promises to steal Cooper’s soul on his approaching sixteenth birthday.
When a strange girl appears, bent on revenge; demon dogs become a threat; and Jack turns into a walking skeleton; Emma has no choice but to learn hoodoo magic to undo the hex, all before summer—and her friends–are lost forever.
So what do you think of the cover?
So the winner of Downburst is Kevin Smith. Way to go!
I’ll be back to posting next week, so see you all then.
