People expecting copies of PEAS AND CARROTS, those are going out this week. People who want a chance to win a copy, along with a lunch bag and a little magnet — please stay tuned to the February 9 release date —
\nFebruary is not just when the groundhog emerges (albeit with a LOT of help from people pulling it) from its hole to find its shadow – it’s apparently the month when introverts Make An Effort (also with a LOT of help from people… pulling). I’ll be booktalking, and being visible this February here and there – first, I’m presenting a webinar February 2nd for The National WWII Museum <\/a>on Mare’s War as part of their WWII emphasis this year. Teachers and families who do homeschooling, you’ll want to jump on this! The week following, I’ll be on the blog STACKED<\/a> and then the tumblr Size Acceptance in YA<\/a>; at BN Teen Blog’s Open Mic<\/a> project sometime next month, and on John Scalzi’s WHATEVER blog’s Big Idea<\/a> project on February 9th, which is the same day that PEAS AND CARROTS has its book birthday. <\/p>\n

I’m grateful to everyone who asked me to show up and hang out next month, and given me the opportunity to talk about what I do and how I do it. <\/p>\n
