Monday Mishmash 4/13/15


Happy Monday! Monday Mishmash is a weekly meme dedicated to sharing what's on your mind. Feel free to grab the button and post your own Mishmash.

Here's what's on my mind today:
  1. Monroe County Book Expo  I'll be at the Hughes Branch of the Eastern Monroe Public Library this Saturday from 10am-3pm selling copies of ALL my titles (both Kelly Hashway and Ashelyn Drake titles). If you're in the Stroudsburg area, please stop by to see me and a bunch of other local authors.
  2. Scholastic Book Fair  Someone help me. I'll working the Scholastic Book Fair at my daughter's school again this week, and it's a BOGO sale! My poor wallet. I just can't help myself when it comes to buying books.
  3. New Adult Scavenger Hunt  I'll be participating in the New Adult Scavenger Hunt April 23-26 as Ashelyn Drake. I'm Team Blue! I'm promoting Looking For Love and giving away a copy of the Campus Crush paperback, which includes ALL the books in the series—yes, even Looking For Love. Find out more about the hunt here.

  4. The Monster Within in a B&N Ad?  I was on my email last Friday and this was the ad that appeared in my sidebar. That's The Monster Within! No idea how this happened, but woo hoo!!! Totally made my day. I hope others saw this ad in their email sidebars, too. I'm just going to tell myself they did. ;) 
  5. New Picture Book Released  I had a new picture book release through Guardian Angel Publishing. It's titled A Lion's Song and you can purchase a copy on Amazon or the publisher's website. Right now the paperback is available in both places, but the ebook version is currently only up on the publisher's website. Robert Lee Beers did such a great job with the illustrations. Just check out the cover: 
    Amara is the only lion who can't roar. Every time she tries, it comes out like a song.  She doesn't know what her purpose in the pride will be if she can't be ferocious. But when a Nile crocodile threatens her family, Amara's song just might save them.
That's it for me. What's on your mind today?

    Have a great time at the book fairs. I'm still using Camp Nanowrimo to re-work my novel.

    Take a moment to breathe in between all your activities. As for controlling the book buying urge, I have no idea. :)

    Welcome to the Guardian Angel family, Kelly! My tween chapter book series, The Weaver Tales are from Guardian. I help with the GAP facebook page, so I'll eventually get around to posting your new book info over there :)

      Thanks, Beth! I had a pile within sixty seconds of being there. Then I reorganized all the series while the PTO board laughed and let me have at it. They know I'm crazy when it comes to books being shelved out of order. lol

    Your picture book looks so cute and I can't wait to read it!

    Good luck at the book fair- I can imagine those are tough on the wallet. But well worth it! :)

      Thanks, Leandra. I need my daughter's class to hurry up and get to this fair so I'll stop adding books to her pile. lol

    Holy cow you have a lot going on. Congrats! Good luck not buying books. If you're like me, you won't succeed. But it's not really a bad thing.

    It's amazing how the release of a new PB (WOOO-HOOOO! Go, Kelly!) gets to be the fifth note in an otherwise chuck-full of things Monday mishmash. You're awesome
