Spillworthy Blog Hop!



During the first ten days of May, individuals will be releasing copies of Spillworthy into the world as part of our Catch and Release.  Look for photos and fun to follow on that page.

For the blog hop, I'll be giving away five Kindle copies of Spillworthy at the end of the week. One lucky winner will also receive a signed ARC and media package, just like the one sent to librarians and book reviewers.

To be entered into the drawing, just comment on any of the following blog posts.  If you'd like to be entered more than once, just comment on more than one blog post.  Winners will be announced on May 11th and we'll party. :)


The Blog Hop


Links will be updated as posts go live on that day.

*Note that I gave away a copy to celebrate my first interview, but anyone who comments before May 10 will still quality for the final drawing.

My first book signing!


My book doesn't come out for a few more days, but there were a few copies available for today's SCBWI conference in Boise.  I had so much fun!

Virginia and Greg have been hiding something from me for months!  Virginia presented me with this beautiful Pendleton blanket today, to celebrate my first signing and the beginning of book release events.  I knew she had a Pendleton box, so I was prepped to like what was inside, but I never dreamed it would be such a beautiful blanket.  There are tabs on the top, so I can hang it.  Do you see the Spillworthy monogramming?  Yeah. I could totally release another book just for another blanket.

Spillworthy Review from Linnie Steenvoorden!

Review posted by Linnie Steenvoorden on Goodreads:

It’s been a while since I finished a book in one sitting. But this one I just couldn’t put down. 

The story is laid out like breadcrumbs. It begins very small. The way it’s written prevents you from zooming out and seeing the bigger picture. It keeps you hanging on. One more page. One more, one more. Right until the very end. 

Without copying the style the story and pacing remind me of one of my childhood favourites. (The Famous Five). 

Great ending and a lovely underlying message, which I will not spoil here. Not everything is Spillworthy. 

Sssh. Don’t look up…
