Bloggers, Book Festivals, and Maps--oh my!

Bouquets for bloggers!
Many thanks to bloggers who have been reading and spreading the word about The Kiss of Deception!  I am SO grateful!

A Garden Carried in the Pocket - "One of the best fantasies I've read in a long time.  I literally could not put it down once I started it."

Angela D. Me - "An amazing beginning to a new series . . .put your pre-order in now because this is a MUST READ!"

Belle of the Literati - A Top Ten Tuesday "Most Likely to Blow Your Mind."

Windswept Mind - "An absorbing read. For days after I finished it I was still experiencing world-withdrawal."

PCTELA News - "I could not put this book down! I read it in less than two days…and as a full time teacher, freelance writer and new mom, that’s saying a lot."

Refracted Light -  "Well, color me thoroughly intrigued… and greatly anticipating the next book.  And that ending?!  Oh.  Nicely played Mary E. Pearson. Nicely played. *slow claps*"

Sherna's Reviews - "I loved every minute of doubt and every squeal that came out of my mouth at least twice each chapter." (Fun GIFs alert!)
Thank you so much bloggers for all the wonderful shout outs!
Multi-colored bouquets to you!


In other news . . . 

I will be at the Ontario Teen Book Festival on May 17th speaking on panels with some amazing authors, signing books, and also giving away a few of The Kiss of Deception arcs!  Hope I see you there!

I am busy working on Book 2 in the series even as fun things keep popping up with the first book--like a MAP!  I've seen the final and it is gorgeous!  But then, I am an admitted map geek. I love them, and the artist did some fun unexpected things that I loved--little details that have their own mystery to them. In fact, as pretty as the arc is, all the lovely details coming in the final book makes me swoon.  I can't wait to hold that baby in my hands!

I've had a lot of readers telling me they want Book 2 NOW, so I better get to it.  Off to write . . .
