Friday Five

1. This week has been crazy with my part-time job of scoring 4th grade essays. I have to get in 20 hours a week and it was really hard. Hopefully next week will go more smoothly.

2. Also having a really hard time finding a book to read! I so hate that! But then I found one!



Loving this YA paranormal about the daughter of Lucifer and Lilith who comes down to Earth to find her missing half brother.

3. Needed a new playlist for my sequel. Yes, Jordan will find some cute guy in Paris! First love, first real kiss. Plus of course some danger and a god or two!

Love this song:

4. Also this one totally reflects the mood of my story:
This one reminds me of Grams'
5. Getting a new washer/dryer and oven today! Yay! **Guilty pleasure: Yoga. In the early morning!

Marchmadness Day 30-Not Giving up

Image
Wow, can you believe it's almost April? Time really flies by when you're in the revision ditches like I've been! Just got the proofs for NO GODDESSES ALLOWED which means this next week I'll be busy checking and rechecking my story before it goes out to get published! Yay! This project seems to have taken FOREVER or like Liz my fab editor at Zumaya likes to say--it has been under the mummy's curse. This is in reference to Jordan's cursed bracelet. Today I'm going to use A YEAR OF WRITING DANGEROUSLY again! Loving this book that I picked up at ALA12 last summer! Thanks New World Library and Barbara Abercrombie! #360 On Not Giving Up Kathryn Stockett got sixty rejections for her bestselling novel THE HELP. Her first rejection read, "Story did not sustain my interest." But it was her very first rejection, so she was actually thrilled with it. She went back to edit her story. On the fortieth rejection, she cried. She thought...

CINDERELLA'S DRESS BLOG TOUR and GIVEAWAY

Image
I'm really excited to be a part of this blog tour! My YA Books Central review: YABC Imagine if the story of Cinderella might in fact be true. That's what you'll discover in the very imaginative CINDERELLA'S DRESS which is the PERFECT fantasy set in WW2 with a girl, a magical dress, and much more! What worked: This is a delightful tale that introduces us to Kate who longs to decorate department store windows to the horror of her mother. She wants Kate to be a model. This is right at the tail end of the second war where rations included no pantyhose and other essentials. Then one day an elderly couple come to their home from Poland with a trunk and rumors of a magical dress. This is where the story comes alive. Kate is curious about what is in that trunk and when her aunt hints that she is in fact the 'keeper' of that Cinderella's dress? Kate wants to know more. Add the descendants of the wicked stepsisters who are up to no good and want the ...
