TMAS at Sarah's Random Musings + giveaway
Today I'll be hanging out with my dear friend Sarah at Sarah's Random Musings. Sarah has been a readergirlz friend for just about forever, and I've been so lucky to get to meet her in person! (Oooh, and she's coming to the Seattle TMAS party! If you'll be in Seattle 7/24, contact me for party deets.)

TMAS Tuesday: Music Secrets
Speaking of secrets...music is a leitmotif in TELL ME A SECRET - not only musical theatre (Miranda's friend Essence loves Adelaide from Guys and Dolls), but also indie bands.Xanda's favorite real-life band is Splashdown (which also happens to be mine!).
Our friends at Splashdown, Universal Hall Pass, and Symbion Project were kind enough to let us use their music for the trailer and TellMeASecretNovel.com...trailer is coming soon!
And lyrics from their song, "Presumed Lost," are featured in the ...
