First, thanks to everyone who turned out for the Facebook party and Twitter contest last Thursday night. I had a blast! I’ll be blogging about the experience on the Seekerville blog on Memorial Day, so stop by then to find out a bunch of behind-the-scenes workings of a Facebook party.

In the meantime, the blog tour and giveaways continue! Here’s a roundup:

  • On April 24, Pegg Thomas wrote this lovely 5-star review of Angelhood on The Sheepish Scribe.
  • On April 27, Pegg Thomas interviewed me over at the Quid Pro Quills website. Hope you didn’t miss that giveaway!
  • On April 30, I guest blogged over on Johnnie Alexander’s blog about my collection of angel paraphernalia.
  • Also on April 30, Rabia Lieber wrote this awesome review of Angelhood on her blog.

Coming up this week:

And still more to come!

November Giveaway!

/1 Comment/in , , , /by

It’s time for the November giveaway!

This month I’m giving away something related to one of the main characters in my upcoming young adult novel, Angelhood. The main character’s little sister is named Cecille. I took her name from St. Cecilia because Cecille is a ballerina and St. Cecilia is the patroness of music.

While I was in Rome this past year, I visited the Basilica of St. Cecilia twice. In the gift shop, I picked up a couple St. Cecilia medals. Since November 22 is the feast day of St. Cecilia, I thought this would be a good month to giveaway one of those medals.

How can you win it? By entering the raffle on my Facebook page. Look under the tab “Giveaway” or following this link: http://tinyurl.com/lwm9vat

 

St Cecilia Medal
The giveaway will be open from November 7-21. I’ll announce the winner on the Feast of St. Cecilia on November 22. Good luck!

For more on my visit to the Basilica di Santa Cecilia in Rome, visit this blog post.
