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, which I really was happy to see. And over on the School Library Journal Blog, not only did the book get a mention, but my author photo won a (newly created) award by New York Public Librarian and blogger, Betsy Bird. Congrats to my husband for taking the picture! You have to scroll way down, but there’s really no way you can miss it!

Over at The Divining Wand, I did a snappy interview with Larramie and if you leave a comment you can be entered to win Mathew Quick’s new book (assuming the contest is still going when you read this).

And if you want to win Restoring Harmony, Good Golly Miss Holly is hosting a giveaway (US & Canada only) for a signed copy! Enter until May 17th.

Did you notice the new list off to the right hand side of this blog? In May, I’ll be doing an 18 day blog tour to help launch Restoring Harmony out into the world (released in the US on May 13, and Canada May 18th). The list is where I’ll be each day. You should definitely check in on those blogs, and come here too, as there will be prizes galore and lots of fun for everyone!

Are you curious about the cake clipart? Well…just managing to squeeze himself onto the coveted April Birthday List is my wonderful husband. Happy Birthday, Darlin’! I love you!!!!!
