Live Ustream Chat & Scavenger Hunt

Hi Everyone!



Congratulations to all of my art contest participants!  You all did a great job!  I'm already starting to get submissions for the poetry contest so as a reminder.  If you'd like to submit some poetry send it to me here.  You can send me as many submissions as you like.  Don't forget to include your name each time.  Your poems can be from any character's perspective just make sure you tell me whose perspective you're writing in.  The deadline is July 31 and I will post the winner the first week of August.



I have some exciting events coming up, the first one is a book signing in Portland at Powell's bookstore in the Cedar Hills Mall at 7 pm on Thursday July 14.  For info or bookstore address click on the link.  There will be photo opportunities for you to take pictures with both of my stuffed tigers and I will be giving away some fabulous prizes including an advanced reading copy of Tiger's Voyage!



On Monday July 18th at 6 pm I will be doing my first ever Ustream live chat.  You will be able to see me live broadcasting from my computer at home.  How you join the chat is to either join from the Tiger's Curse Facebook page by clicking the Ustream link on the left side and then joining the chat from there, or you can create a Ustream account by going here and searching for my channel which is called The Tiger's Curse Series.  The really cool thing about the chat is that we can record it so those who miss out can watch it later and if you sign up for notifications you will get an email every time I do a live chat so you'll never miss out.



For those of you who are bloggers.  Here are some links and info below so you can spread the news.
