Stuff...

I've been busy these past couple weeks preparing for Texas Book Festival - reading the books the authors will be presenting and preparing questions for the panelists - so I haven't had much time for blogging.

But, I did want to mention that ARCs (advanced reading copies) of BLESSED are now out in the real world! Christina at INSERT BOOK TITLE HERE is doing a giveaway and has posted a very nice review. P.J. Hoover is likewise having a giveaway, so go check out her blog, too.

Finally, the first review of the season for HOLLER LOUDLY is out! Kirkus Reviews says "[t]his original Southwestern tall tale has an easy rhythm, and repeated phrases and playful type make reading aloud a pleasure ... A rambunctious, can't-lose read-aloud no one will want to hush."

Oh, and you see dinosaurs in the darndest places: the LEGO tyrannosaur in the picture is on display at Downtown Disney in Orlando.
