My hands are actually shaking a little as I begin this blog post and my heart is fluttering like a swarm of butterflies . . . I've got the go ahead from my wonderful publisher, Scholastic, to do a cover reveal today for my Spring, 2013 book, WHEN THE BUTTERFLIES CAME. (Hence, the very bad metaphor in the previous sentence.)
So what DO you call a group of butterflies?*raises hand*Answer: A Flu...

It's entirely possible I'm a bit biassed about this, but I think this book is pretty amazing. In fact, I dare say it blew me away (come on, I HAD to make a wind pun!)

Frannie Billingsley, you are brilliant. I'm not afraid to admit that the entire time I was reading this book, I compared your lovely writing style to the likes of Shakespeare. I get lost in your words that are so much like verse or poetry. The sto...

Thanks Kimberley!!!I'll tell the librarians about it! I hope that they can get it! I also told my mom about it! She said that she will probley get it for me!! Yay!! I'm so excited for you BUTTERFLY book comes out!!! I will be sure to read it!
Warm wishes to you too,
Kenna
Dear Kenna, I hope your mother can find it in one of the libraries around you - or did you know that you can actually ask the librarians to order a copy? THE HEALING SPELL is in paperback now, too, on places like Amazon and Barnes & Noble for only $5.99. I think you'll like it since there are connections to CIRCLE OF SECRETS. It will help pass the time until next January when my BUTTERFLY book comes out!
Happy New Year, and happy reading! I love to read, too! Mostly children's and Young Adult books because I think they're so good. :-)
Warm wishes,
Kimberley

Hi Kenna, thank you SO much for writing to me! I'm always thrilled to hear from my readers and I'm so excited that you love my books so much! That makes my whole year to hear that!
And gosh, thanks for the kudos on the book trailer and my looks, too, you are very sweet! :-)
My next book comes out in a year from now. It's called WHEN THE BUTTERFLIES CAME and you'll see it in libraries and the Book Fairs, too.
I know that a year is a looong time to wait - I have a hard time waiting too, but I have a lot of work to do meanwhile to get it ready to be published, as well as Scholastic who creates the beautiful cover art and design.
Happy New Year! I hope 2012 is a wonderful year for you and your family.
Kimberley
