What have I done so far today?
Absolutely NOTHING! I’m still on cloud nine from all the wonderful comments and emails from my announcement yesterday. (Thanks for the love!!) So I’ve been spending the day leisurely answering emails, posting replies, and sipping coffee while getting caught up with other writer’s websites and blogs.
Tomorrow? I’ll get back to work, but today?
I’m enjoying each and every moment.
But I do need to give a shout-out and a mighty woo-HOO to Erica Perle for her recent release of VINTAGE VERONICA!!!
Veronica Walsh is 15, fashion-minded, fat, and friendless. Her summer job in the Consignment Corner section (Employees Only!) of a vintage clothing store is a dream come true. There Veronica can spend her days separating the one-of-a-kind gem garments from the Dollar-a-Pound duds, without having to deal with people. But when two outrageous yet charismatic salesgirls befriend her and urge her to spy on and follow the mysterious and awkward stock boy Veronica has nicknamed the Nail, Veronica’s summer takes a turn for the weird. Suddenly, what began as a prank turns into something else entirely. Which means Veronica may have to come out of hiding and follow something even riskier for the first time: her heart.
“An enjoyable read filled with quirky characters.”–School Library Journal, Emily Chornomaz, Brooklyn Public Library, NY, School
“Readers may want to scour local vintage haunts after finishing this one-and wish they could bring Veronica along.”–Publishers Weekly
Congratulations, Erica, I can’t wait to read it!! Until then, I’ll have to settle for this juicy trailer:
