ReplyDeleteHey, could you add links to each of the bloggers?
Thanks!
I'll post all of this as a preview, too, as well as on October 3rd.
It also just occurred to me that I will miss your book launch - I am SO DISAPPOINTED! I leave that very morning for Amman, Jordan! So I'm going to miss the jewelry, the music, your talk - darn. :-(
I'm glad you can be part of the tour, but sad you will miss the party.

ReplyDeleteThanks for all of the sweet comments about the prizes.
ReplyDeleteI went to a home jewelry show and met four women who make hand-crafted pieces. All I was really looking for was a forget-me-not bracelet, but they got inspired when I told them about my book and made all these amazing pieces. We're trading books for jewelry and other artwork.
EEK! I absolutely love reading all these different posts for the ghost tour! And the jewelry are just absolutely GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteI love the concept of your book and can't wait to read it! Novels in verse are my favorite to write and to read.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the book! If you are ever in Salem check out the Salem ghost tour that gives up all the secrets of the dead and the tunnels they walked through!
