A Unique Interview with another Giveaway.
Jennifer Slattery, of Clash of the Titles fame, wrote a wonderful interview in conjunction with the back cover blurb contest (BTW, Driven
DRIVEN is up against Julie Carobini's Fade to Blue: An Otter Bay Novel
FADE TO BLUE–good luck, Julie). Come on over and comment for a chance to win a copy of Julie's book and/or a copy of DrivenDRIVEN.
In the meantime, thank a vet or military family for their sacrifices and compassion they share with this country. If not for their efforts–past and present–inspirational books like DRIVEN, may never have seen the light of day. And that is just a small part of the freedoms they have afforded us.
Thank you, men and women of the US military!

Awesomeness from Jill Williamson
Jill Williamson joined me over on the Barn Door Book Loft for a two-day interview and book giveaway (just leave a comment on the Barn Door Book Loft site today, tomorrow, or both days). Jill writes amazing speculative fiction for young adults. Find her three-book series, By Darkness Hid (Blood of Kings, book 1)
Blood of Kings, highlighted in today's interview. Personally, I can't wait for her new book through Zonderkidz to release. Keep an eye out for it. It's title you ask? Replication.

My Poor, Poor Website
Dear Shellieneumeier.com,
I am so sorry to say I will be neglecting you in the near future. Try as I might, I cannot spend time with you everyday. My oldest is graduating in a few weeks and I haven't written one Graduation Invitation. My house and yard are screaming for attention now that warm weather has arrived. And it seems we have hit doctor appointment season in earnest.
Don't worry, I will be around. Just not as often. And this too shall pass. Probably as soon as Graduation has come and gone. BTW, I'm thinking of inviting the family to "Breakfast on the Farm" the morning of. What do you think? 
. (Only in Wisconsin.)
I'll miss you, but I'll be back soon,
