Monday Update

I know, the title suggests that I regularly do a Monday update, but since I don’t, this is really more of a multi-Monday update as I pull in some highlights from the last few weeks.

GIVEAWAYS:

JeanBookNerd.com is kindly hosting a giveaway of a signed copy of THE FALSE PRINCE as well as some signed book posters. You can find that and enter here through the rest of the month:

I will say that there’s something like 11,000 entries, so it’s getting to the point where there are sort of long odds on actually winning. If you don’t happen to win, please feel free to buy a copy of the book somewhere and then email me and I’m happy to send you a bookplate and a poster if you remember to ask for one.

COOL MENTIONS:

There’s a lovely website called “The Best Books of” that creates various lists of best books for different categories. In a recent post, they listed THE FALSE PRINCE as one of the Best Children’s Books of 2012.

But here’s the best part! TFP also was listed as one of their best YA books too!

BESTSELLER LIST:

For the week ending September 2, TFP was on the Mountains and Plains Bestseller List. It squeaked in at #10, but considering that it’s been out for six months, I was pretty darn pleased!
