The Hudson Children’s Book Festival is Just One Week Away!

Alissa — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 14:03:07 +0000

Saturday, May 4 from 10 to 4, the Hudson Junior Senior High School in Hudson, NY gets turned into one very awesome festival. It’s the annual Hudson Children’s Book Festival and features lots and lots of authors and illustrators of books for children and teens.

Alissa is very excited to be headed back to the festival again this year and looking forward to seeing all the books that will be on display because she had such a great time the last time she attended.

Seriously, if you have any interest in books and live even slightly near Hudson, NY, you want to check out this festival.

Shallow Pond is available on NetGalley

Alissa — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 18:50:18 +0000

Shallow Pond will be available in July, but if you are a blogger or book reviewer advanced copies of Shallow Pond are now available for digital download on NetGalley. Interested reviewers do need to apply to receive a copy, mostly to prove that you are a real reviewer and not someone who wants a free advanced copy just so you can blab all the book’s secrets to your friends or whatever. Secrets? Did somebody say secrets? Yes, there are a few of those in this YA novel. Click here to request a copy of Shallow Pond on NetGalley.

Good old fashioned print ARCs will likely be appearing in the world soon. Alissa doesn’t have any, but she knows that soon some should be available from Flux. If you ask nicely (and/or beg) they might be able to send you one.
