It's July, so it's almost my birthday. I shouldn't mention that this year my big day is going to be overshadowed by a massive American holiday. But I'm bitter.
See? Rude.
Anyway, the happy day is next Sunday, July 5th. I won't bore you with the details of how old I am. (Do you want to know my weight and dress size while we're at it? Gosh.) I will say that I'm NOT 40 yet, and I'm grateful.
It's been a whirlwind year with changes in everything from my profession life to my mental and physical health. Above all, I am happy to have survived. And it is a pleasure to celebrate my birthday week with all of you.
Since I have almost everything I want (unless you have a hot fireman handy), I'm pleased to give a gift to all of you. So... We're doing another giveaway!
This time prizes include:
Signed Copies of Becoming Beauty (2)
$10 Amazon Gift Cards (2)
I am limiting the Grand Prize(s) to US residents only, but anyone with a valid email address is eligible to win one of the Gift Cards as they will be delivered via email. (I'm sorry overseas friends, I will not mail a copy of my book to you if it costs more in postage than the book itself. But I still love you.)
Also, for those of you who would love your own signed copy of Becoming Beauty, I am also running a sale on the stock I have on hand. Books will be $10 for pick-up or $13 shipped within the US. (If my dears overseas friends would like a signed copy, shipping charges will vary according to your location.) Please leave me a comment or email me (click the handy-dandy buttons on the side bar or under the Contact tab) if you are interested.
Thanks and good luck!

My favourite retelling I've read so far is between Cress by Marissa Meyer (Capt. Thorne is amazing!!) and Doon by Lorie Langdon and Cary Corp.
ReplyDeleteI love Meyer's books! They're simply wonderful! I'll have to look at the others! Thanks for the comment!
DeleteHappy Birthday for tomorrow Sarah :) x
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kimmie! It's been a relaxing weekend so far. :)
DeleteI don't think it's possible to choose just one as my favorite retelling--but anything that makes me laugh is in the running.
ReplyDeleteAren't the fun ones delicious? I love when an author is smart enough to find a new way to tell an old story, and it makes them extra smart if they can work in a laugh! Thanks for dropping in!
DeleteI actually enjoyed the new Cinderella movie - explained some things I've always wondered about- like her nickname, how they didn't recognize her, etc. . . but book wise, Jack Prulutsky's The Frog Prince Continued is a great one. Plus, the illustrations are fabulous :)
ReplyDeleteWasn't Cinderella fun? I'm still looking for a way to make that character edgy, but they succeeded in giving her backbone at least. I loved that! And being a kindergarten teacher I LOVE Prulutsky! Hilarious!
