OMG!!! It’s 66 days until the book launch of TOUCHING THE SURFACE and I feel like I have a fluttering flock of origami cranes in my belly. I can barely contain myself. I doubt anything is going to stop the feeling of sweet anticipation–not that I really want too–but I thought I could at least try to share a little bit of my excitement with you by giving away swag packets to almost anyone who wants them. I say “almost” because I’ll absolutely try to accommodate everyone who is interested, but if I start to get too many requests (a fabulous problem, no?) I’ll have to cap it off to make it manageable. *fingers crossed*
Unfortunately, this event is only going to be open to mailing addresses in the US. Additionally, if you’re a teacher or a librarian and you’d like a class set/book club set of swag, please include how many people you will be sharing with. Here’s how it’s going to work…
I would really like to get the word out about TOUCHING THE SURFACE, so in the comments, please tell me where you reposted or shared the link to this blog. You don’t have to attach your link or anything–I’ll believe you. Besides, if you’re willing to lie to get my swag–that also makes me feel kind of good. But I do encourage you to be a moral and upstanding human being. *grin* Β And just so you know, your dedication to spreading the word doesn’t even have to be on line, you can also let me know that Β you’ve shared it with your teenage niece on your Uncle Ted’s side of the family–you know the one with the extra toe. *grin* Β I’m just appreciative of you giving me a shout-out.
MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION IN YOUR COMMENT!!!! I’LL THEN EMAIL YOU TO GET YOUR MAILING INFORMATION.
Oh, and I have a magic number in mind–I can do that–I write fiction. If that magic number gets hit, one participant will earn a very cool bonus prize!!!! It will be a good one–I promise. *squee*
Thanks so much for participating. Now it’s time for me to shut up so you can start. On your mark, get set…GO!
Please send me some swag! Planning to read the book with my book group in November!! SO excited for you!!
