Modge Podge of Goodies

WARNING: this post is random in nature.

This week I'll be appearing on YA Obsession as the featured author. Strange facts about my wacky writing process will be revealed daily with a giveaway of Under My Skin available to readers who survive the experience. Leah at YA Obsession is a new, and KEEN blogger, please show her blog some love and be introduced to a wonderful YA author each week!

Joy Preble, author of Dreaming Anastasia, Haunted, and Again and Again, as well as her upcoming, The Sweet Dead Life, was kind enough to read a draft version of Second Skin and provide a luscious book blurb. Joy is a fellow Class program alumni and has been a fantastic mentor to me, plus she's a high school English teacher and facilitates writing workshops – simply the BEST person to know if you need insight into teen / school norms or reading lists used in high schools. You can learn more about Joy and her books on her website and by following the Crossroads Blog Tour.

Here's Joy's blurb: "In Judith Graves' Second Skin, book two of her Skinned series, shapeshifter Eryn McCain is fighting the paranorm baddies again and cracking wise while she's at it. A wild ride of snark, chills and romance, Second Skin poses the creepy question: what if your worse nightmares came to life?"

Nice, eh?!

And finally, if you're like me and scrambling for spooky, quirky, COOL ideas for decking your tomb out for Halloween, look no further than Dawn Dalton's "Countdown to Halloween" where she's featuring a different ghoulish invention, craft, etc., EVERY DAY this month. I know my mason jars will never be the same.
