Thank you to all the folks who entered my recent Goodreads Giveaway Contest. I was shocked to discover that over 1,000 people entered the contest. WOW! I do need to apologize to the five winners for the delay in getting your books to you. The novels just arrived and were sent on August 31st. Thank you for your patience and I hope you enjoy the read!

To the remaining contestants, I hope you pick up a copy of EPIC FAIL and I hope you enjoy it, too. I have six books now, all aimed at a YA hi-lo audience. The novels are great for getting young people 'into' reading and they are a wonderful resource for students learning the English language. Librarians say that my books are flying off their shelves - this is great news to hear as an author!

There are only two days left to enter my Christmas giveaways of Living Rough, On Cue and Dead To Me. Be sure to enter for a chance to win a signed copy for the middle-grade/young adult on your Christmas list!

Just this time last year I saw the cover for ROOM 555 for the first time. Always exciting as an author to see the cover for your book, as it means the book will be out soon! Now, a year has passed and I just discovered that Roonie 'hip-hopped' her way to #29 in Dance Books for Children on Amazon.ca. She is in the top 100 for the category. Not #1 but not bad for a day's work... Okay, maybe a few days work!
