Byways Q&A

In honor of the release of Byways Book 1: On Your Marks by C. J. Milbrandt, I’m hosting a Q&A, offering review copies, and doing a fun little giveaway. Not sure what I’m talking about? Here’s the basics:

I write family-friendly fantasy under my maiden name (C. J. Milbrandt).
The Byways books are early chapter books, geared for young readers (K-2).
This series is “born on the 4th of July” because of a game hidden in the stories.
The three main characters are brothers who take sibling rivalry to new lengths.
A race ties the series together, and books rotate between the brothers’ POV.
Simple enough for young readers, plotty enough for parents and older siblings.
By the time we reach the finish line, Byways will have 50+ books!

Help Me Celebrate!

♦ Ask me questions about the books, the cast, the setting, etc. Not sure where to start? Let me help: Byways Page | Byways FAQ | Byways: State by State | The Land of Liberty | Meet Ewan the Eldest | Meet Zane the Rebel | Meet Ganix the Scamp | Meet Ian Johns | A Touch of Magic

♦ Answer me this! If you could Change into an animal (like Ewan, Zane, and Ganix), what form would you want to take?

♦ On Your Marks: The Adventure Begins is just $ .99 and is currently available at both Amazon and Kobo. It should pop up on Barnes & Noble soon. If you know parents, teachers, or librarians, tell them about the series!

♦ I’m making a limited number of review copies available! Email your request to christa [dot] kinde [at] gmail [dot] com. First comers will receive a complimentary copy of the On Your Marks e-book via Amazon in exchange for an honest review.

♦ Comment below to be included in a drawing! I have some of the cutest little promo cards to share, featuring all kinds of Byways cast portraits (not just the brothers). If your name is drawn, I’ll send a few your way. : )

There you go! I’ll be answering questions all weekend. The drawing will be held on Tuesday, July 8 … so you have plenty of time to chime in!
