Our business paperwork came in while I was away, meaning we can finally look at setting a date for the book! As we suspected, it will be in May, but I promise, this is worth the wait.
In the mean time, The Emotion Thesaurus: A Writer's Guide to Character Expression is up on Goodreads! Perhaps you will show it some love and put it onto your To-Read list? *showers everyone with chocolate sparkles*
Becca and I are blessed to know many wonderful, generous people in the writing community. One of the kindest, most thoughtful people I've met is Danyelle Leafty, and she's once again doing something awesome to Pay it Forward and help out the children in the pediatric unit of the Utah Valley Hospital.
It's no fun being in a hospital bed, especially if you're a child. Danyelle has set a goal of buying 10 Kindles to donate to the hospital to lift some reading spirits and make a child's stay go a bit smoother. To do this, from March 12th-31st (2012) she's donating her royalties from THE FAIRY GODMOTHER DILEMMA: CATSPELL--both in paper and e-book form--toward the purchase of the Kindle Fires.
I think this is an AWESOME thing to do! If you're interested, please check out Danyelle's book, or enter her Short Story Contest to have your story included in an anthology to be uploaded onto these Kindle Fires! There are other ways to help, like donating books and spreading the word, so please visit this post for more information.
I know the 31st is coming up quick, so I'm off to grab my copy of CATSPELL. Any tweets you could send out about Kindles for Kids would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, everyone--you rock!
