The Queen - Alice in WonderlandNow, I give you fair warning, either you or your head must be off, and that in about half no time! Take your choice!...So many people I know call themselves writers, but can't get themselves to actually write. It takes discipline and scheduling, not waiting for the muse-infused creative genius to strike. Quit fooling yourself. Sit write, and if you need to, throw it out and write again. No more excuses, I second the Queen! (says the mad hatter)AliceIt would be so…See More

If you have children 12 and up. Please consider my book Runaway Storm. It just came out earlier this year. It's a wilderness adventure story about a boy who runs away to kayak in the Gulf islands and San Juan's off the west coast. Fun…

I seem to have Alice In Wonderland on the Brain. The Queen did say, afterall—
“Sentence first — verdict afterwards.”

- Hi Dawn, I saw your request for folks to review your teen book. I'm swamped for the next couple of months, but if you could use a little promotion later in the spring, feel free to contact me. I can review on my blog and do an interview or guest blog from you.

Josephine M. Waltz said… - HI Dawne,
I just saw your trailer and will share it with my 7th graders. I hope it will inspire them to pick up the book and read. I teach at a middle school and have a special group of students who I adore. Currently we are reading Peck's hillarious novels, but a few could and would benefit reading a higher level novel. So I'll let you know how it goes!!
Thanks.

Sarah Pinneo said… - You can noodle around with targeted facebook ads by navigating to "create an ad." First it asks you to design it-- a headline, supporting text (a sentence or two!) and then a photo. You'd use your cover art for that. Then comes the fun part-- it takes you to the targeting page where you can type in keywords and geographical locations. You'll have to see if you can find precisely your audience there. My book is about skiing so I run an ad on facebook which targets ONLY people 24 and older who list "skiing" as a hobby!
I'm just dipping my toe in, but it sure is fascinating.
