Spruce Knoll For Endangered Species

-

To celebrate the release of the special edition of The Secret of Spruce Knoll: A Channeler Novel from Compass Press, I'm doing a special giveaway. Tomorrow the mini-tour for this novel begins and so do your changes for winning a prize.


From December 1st~17th: The Spruce Knoll For Endangered Species tour and giveaway is occurring! Between it's publication date and 12-12-12, a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of each Compass Press edition of this novel (all formats) will go toward my favorite charity that specializes in saving endangered species. My goal is to raise at least $10,000. Together we can make a difference. To see a list of the tour stops, click on the News/Events page.

1st place: *A symbolic adoption of an endangered species ($50 donation by me. Symbolic stuffed animal and adoption papers sent to the winner). You get to choose the species here. 
*A signed hardback of the Compass Press special edition of The Secret Of Spruce Knoll: A Channeler Novel
*Great swag

2nd place: A signed paperback of the Compass Press special edition of The Secret Of Spruce Knoll: A Channeler Novel
*Great swag

Prizes will be mailed on December 19th (as long as the winners get their addresses to me quickly) so hopefully they'll arrive in time for the holiday! To enter, be a follower and leave a comment on this post.

To earn extra points/entries:
+1 for spreading the word on Twitter, Facebook, or other social networks.
+2 for writing a blog post about the contest and/or for placing a link on your sidebar (leave me a comment and I'd be happy to send you my tour button).

    Great cause! I love the fact you are going to give away part of the proceeds. I was going to check out the book anyway, but this just makes it all the better.

    I know this is a little late but this is a great giveaway! I was looking at all of the animals and I want to help them all. It is so sad that they are all endangered. It is amazing that you are giving some of your proceeds to them. Thank you for this chance and what you are doing to help! :)

    Heard about this on Tricia's blog - what a great contest! I love animals dearly and I'll do what I can to contribute. I'll have to see if I can make a Christmas donation myself by next week.

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. I've recently learned that my own novel, The Secret of Spruce Knoll, will not be carried in my most local bookstore because of an intense scene in it. I unde...
