GREAT STUFF IS STILL HAPPENING Jennifer Nielsen April 3, 2020

GREAT STUFF IS STILL HAPPENING

I know, you’re probably stuck at home, maybe a little bored, maybe looking for something to do. There’s a few things I’d love to tell you about.

  • BOOK BINGO! Young people, play on your own, or tell your teacher about it and get your whole class involved. There are three Bingo cards to choose from. Pick your favorite. As soon as you complete five fun activities in a row on any card, send it to me and you will be automatically entered to win a free author Skype visit for your class from one of fifteen participating authors.
  • TEEN AUTHOR BOOK CAMP WEBINAR: On Tuesday, April 7, at 2 pm EST/11 am PST, I will be conducting an online class for young writers. The topic is “WRITER’S ADHD: WHAT TO DO WITH A DOZEN BEGINNINGS AND NO ENDINGS.” It is free to participate, but you must pre-register, which you can do HERE.
  • SUPPORT INDIES – GET A FREE AUDIOBOOK OF THE FALSE PRINCE.
  • GOODREADS GIVEAWAY. Speaking of THE FALSE PRINCE, there is also a Goodreads giveaway for digital copies of this first book. Why not enter HERE?
  • I’M STILL WRITING! To prove it, let’s play a match game.

Which sentence do you think:

A) Comes from Ascendance Book 4, THE CAPTIVE KINGDOM; 

B) Comes from next spring’s historical novel, RESCUE;  

C) Comes from a new Super Secret Project that no one knows I’m writing – well, nobody except for you! 

D) Comes from a rough draft of book 5 of the Ascendance series; and 

E) Is someone else’s writing – from a book I’m reading right now that will be released this fall.

Match those with:

  1. “Something’s been horrificating the Avians. Rabid beasts have been reported in the Duchess’ woods.”
  2. “I’ll pull you off that raft myself,” Mr. Gimmitz said, marching forward. “You better take a good breath now or you’ll drown before I drag you out of that water.”
  3. I knew we had to do everything possible to keep him safe, or even to keep him alive. But at what price to my family?
  4. With that thought, my body forgot how to breathe, or stopped caring to.
  5. I had never before considered myself defeated, not personally, not in battle. Until now.

Leave any guesses below. I’ll tell you how many out of five that you got correct!

    Here are my guesses for the mathing game:

    1. Super Secret Project (C)
    2. Someone else’s writing (E)
    3. Rescue (B)
    4. Rough draft of Ascendance book 5 (D)
    5. The Captive Kingdom (A)

    *Extremely excited about both books 4 and 5 of the Ascendance series by the way! I know someone asked this already, but is there going to be an audiobook CD version read by Charlie McWade for either of the new additions? Cannot wait to read/listen to them!*

      Hi Abby – one of your guesses is correct.

      We’re asking Charlie to do the new audiobooks – fingers crossed that he says yes!

    I am going to say A4, B2, C3, D5, E1. I could totally imagine Jaron saying number 5 which scares me a little bit.

      At this time, there are no movie plans. That could always change – and I hope it will one day – but for now, there is no forthcoming movie.
