It's just six weeks until Linc's second adventure,
Double Vision: Code Name 711, comes out! Which is why I've been a bit quiet here on the blog for the past week: I've been planning launch events and other promotional stuff.
Stay tuned for more cool news on that over the next few weeks...
But for those of you who like to read a book before it hits the shelves: the awesome people at
Harper Children's are running a Goodreads giveaway of advanced copies of Double Vision: Code Name 711. So enter if you feel lucky...Thanks for the support, as always, YA Sleutheri. It's nice to have good friends in my corner.
Writerhood can be hard--you fellow writers know this. There's editing, writing, more editing, and stupid chores that piled up while you were doing all that hard work.
But I didn't write this post to be a Negative Nellie. I love my job, and domestic perfection isn't for me anyway. Yesterday, I got some good news, so I thought I'd share. Since you've been along for the ride.
The Horn Book Magazine, the people in the know about all things kidlit, gave
Double Vision a really nice review. Here's a little snippet:
Bradley gives Linc a great voice, with a good heart, some self-awareness, and a funny style: “I should probably mention right now that I qualify for the Guinness Book of World Records as the slowest, most out-of-shape twelve-year-old in history.” It’s entertaining if not deep, with a fast pace, snappy narration, and an epilogue that promises a new adventure.
Good news, so pass the drinks, all!
Oh, and if you're still on the hunt for a free ARC of
Double Vision,
you can sign up for the Goodreads giveaway the kind people of Harper are running...
Okay, so that doesn't
quite mean I'm on TV or anything (I wish). But I made an author video, and the kind people at Harper put an ad up at Shelf Awareness for
Double Vision that links to it.
You can see the video to the right, so you can watch me babble about the book.
Later this week, I'll share with you (since many of you are writers) how I managed to make this video, despite my infamous dinosaur status.
Let me know what you think of the video! And be kind, since I'm not Julia Roberts or anything...
