Feature News & Tour Stop

-
Today is an off day for the Creature Features (I'm doing them every other Friday now), but I wanted to let you know that something exciting is brewing for the Creature Features. It isn't my special project, though it will be soon, and it will involve a collaboration with a good friend. I can't say yet as the contract isn't signed, but soon, soon...

Today for the Channeler's Choice tour, my good friend (and fabulous new author) Karlene Petitt is giving me a shout out over on the Critique Sisters' Blog. I hope you'll stop by and say hi!

    Heather, I've tagged you in the Lucky 7 Meme. It's actually a fun one where you get to share 7 lines from your current WIP. http://1fantasyfairy.blogspot.com/2012/03/i-was-tagged-by-kelly-hashway-for-lucky.html

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.
