Video Blog 1 - Me In My PJ's Talking About Being Published

Okay...so this is my first video blog. Yes. I'm in my pajamas. Did you really expect anything else? Also, I'm talking really quietly. Sorry. I tried to re-do it, but it didn't work...whatever. If you like it, I'll keep posting them, if not, just pretend you do so I don't feel bad, haha. 

How do you think you would react (or how did you if you're published) to the world reading your work?

Oppression Blog Tour - Day 10

HAPPY SATURDAY! I've been waiting forever for the weekend. So glad it's here. Pajamas, get ready...we're going to be spending some quality time together ;)
Yesterday I was at a school talking to some students about writing, publishing, and marketing my book. It was so much fun to hear their questions and to get to talk to them about what they "wanted to be when they grew up." I think my favorite moment was when one kid asked me to sign his arm. "Are you serious?" I asked. "Oh yeah," he said. "I'm going to put tape over it." HAHA! How awesome is that? Okay. Okay...back to the blog tour :)
Over the next 15 days I'll be collecting comments from all of the blog tour stops. At the end, I'll pull one lucky winner out of a hat. They'll win an Oppression poster, an Oppression notebook, and a signed copy of   Oppression. Thanks in advance to everyone who checks out the blog tour posts, and thanks to all of the bloggers who were nice enough to invite me over to their blogs.
Today we have 3 book reviews, an interview, and a giveaway from the following awesome gals: 1. Nicola O'Sullivan  2. Liliana Espinoza  3. Rebekah Loper  4. The Story Siren
Throughout the tour I'll also be doing a promotion for the $.99 Oppression e-book. If you purchase it for Kindle or NOOK, enter here to win a signed copy of Oppression.
