Today I’m over at Stiletto Storytime talking about shoes. You didn’t think I was going to talk about my book in every post, did you? Stop on by! And she also had a lovely review of the book yesterday. Oh, and keep those entries for the How Does Your Garden...

Before we get to the interview, I just wanted to let you know that I’m over at The Bookscout today for Day 5 of the Spring Fling Blog Tour. Also, don’t forget to enter How Does Your Garden Grow and check out the pictures and links I’ve added from the...

Today I’m over at The Divining Wand. The host, Larramie, is a great friend to all writers. I highly suggest you add her blog to your regular reading, if it’s not already on your list! Thanks, Larramie, for having me.

Today, I’m guest blogging about what my Grade 6&7 writing students have taught me over at the wonderful Jennifer R. Hubbard’s site. Thanks for having me, Jenn. And Now Let’s Give Something Away! Gardening’s a BIG deal in Restoring Harmony...

Today I’m over at Kathryn Erskine’s blog. I hope you’ll stop by if you haven’t already. While you’re there, read a bit about her wonderful new book, Mockingbird. You’ll want to buy it. Here she is, buried in copies when it arrived....

Restoring Harmony will be released in the U.S. on May 13th, and in Canada on May 18th. To celebrate, I’ll be on a blog tour. Off to the right in the sidebar is a handy dandy list of where I’ll be each day! Plus between now and May 18th, every comment left...

Do you love to shop? So do The Debs, apparently. We’ve been discussing it all week. Stop by The Debs today and read all about my favourite place to spend my loonies. It’s been a very good week here. First Publisher’s Weekly gave me a nice review,...

And now for something a little different! Today, instead of interviewing an author, I’m interviewing the book blogger (and teen), The Bookologist. She’s got a wonderful site and if you want to know about what’s hot in YA, she’s your girl. Also,...

So, I’m a few days late with my Earth Day post, but really, shouldn’t every day be Earth Day? This post is going to stray…no not stray…it’s going to be completely unrelated to writing, so if you’re not interested in garbage (or lack...

We had a very good week here and I hope you did too! I’m over at the Debs talking about reviews. I hope you’ll drop by because there’s some darn good advice by writer Sara Zarr, as well as links to a great review of RH and a hilarious tidbit from The...

So…I’m sweetening the birthday pot. Leave a comment about how wild you’re going to be this Wednesday and be entered into the birthday giveaway. For those of you who already entered, you’ll get another entry if you leave one here too. And...

As is the tradition on my birthday, I will list the forty-two things I’m grateful for (well, the tradition is not forty-two, but the number each year that corresponds to my age). To help me celebrate, I feel like giving something away. But birthday gifts should...

How did tax day go for y’all? I’m over at The Debutante Ball telling you my story. CleverlyInked is having an AMAZING contest to celebrate her birthday. I’ve donated some SWAG, and there are a lot of great prizes, so pop over there! I’m still...

Even though I’m not on the official list, or in the US, I am participating in the Teen Book Drop. If you live in Nanaimo, you might just find an ARC of Restoring harmony sitting there for the taking! And I might drop off a few other YA books and ARCs I have too....

Way back in 2007, Kathy Erskine was one of the first authors I interviewed. I’ve invited her back again today because she’s now got a stunning new book out that you must read! I’ve actually had this ARC for about six months and I was waiting to read it until...

As usual, I’m over at The Debs. This week we’re talking about back story and boy do I know a lot about that! More than I really want to, in fact. I’m very excited to provide you with a link to Everything to do with Books where I did this guest post...

To celebrate the release of my book trailer and new website, I decided to have a giveaway this week instead of the usual fare. A few years ago, my husband went to American Fiddle Tunes (a week-long workshop in Washington) and while he was there he met the young cello...

Hi All, If you’ve been here before today, you’ve probably noticed that I’ve “had a little work done” on my site! I did a bunch of the content changes myself, but honestly, none of this would’ve happened without the stellar friend...

I’m over at The Debs talking about my April 1st faux pas. Those of you who’ve been hanging around here a while might remember it. More importantly than what’s going on with me is the fact that a very special someone will be celebrating a birthday...

Lisa told me, “because of the bathroom question, I’m going to make you write the introduction” which is really kind of funny because if there’s one YA writer out there who needs no introduction, it’s Lisa McMann. So I’m getting off...

In the book, Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert talks about a button or badge you can buy at the gift shop of the ashram to wear when you’re trying not to talk and it says, “I am in silence.” Last night, my husband played and sang five songs at a...

I’m over at the Debs talking about bookstores. My computer is barely hanging in there, so if you email me and I don’t answer, it’s probably because it died. Send good thoughts for it to hang on a little bit longer! New one on its way. Have a great...

Joni’s first book, The Farwalker’s Quest, was so much fun I could hardly stand it. I passed it around to many friends and I highly recommend it. What’s the best part though? It’s a series! And now it’s time for The Timekeeper’s...

In case you missed this over at The Debutante Ball on Friday, I’m sharing it here today. Sarah also stars in my book trailer and she and Victor recorded several songs and tunes from Restoring Harmony (she sings too!). The tunes and trailer will be available on...
