Friday Flash Fiction Fail~But Progress

-

Look at those beauties! They kind of make me teary-eyed, I have to admit. I am biased, but I think it may be the best cover ever. It's hard to see in the picture but there is something special about the back cover as well. To see and understand what it is though, you'll have to get a bound copy of the book and read it! At the end of my tour for CC (March 17th) a special prize will go to the person who can tell me what is special about the back cover and why. If you would like a signed copy you can order one at this link.

I know, I know, no Creature Feature again this Friday. Let the flogging commence. *braces self* Between preparing for the Channeler's Choice blog tour tomorrow and revising my special project, I haven't had time even for flash fiction. The good news is that I'm making a lot of progress on my special project and that I'll be announcing it next month. It's monumental and it's been pushed up by months which is forcing me to work my fingers off. But that's okay, I'm SO excited, I can hardly wait to share it with you.

    I really do like this cover -- especially like how the sun beams through the couple (I'm a sunbeam fan).

    Wow, so many great things happening! Can't wait to hear ALL about it when you can share. :)

Banned Books Week Hop And Giveaway

Today I'm post-poning the creature feature to take part in a very important blogfest honoring banned books. It was brought to my attention by the fantastic I Am A Reader Not A Writer blog . Nearly every one of the great Ellen Hopkins's novels has been banned somewhere. She writes about things that challenge kids today, sex, drugs, prostitution, terrible things for sure, but things kids are dealing with whether we like it or not. Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak, about a girl who is raped, is banned in many places. Others may surprise you such as The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares, Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling, The House of Night novels by P.C. Cast, The Golden Compass novels by Philip Pullman, and the Vampire Academy novels by Richelle Mead. There are so many more that it saddens me to go on.
