Y’all! One of you won my Preorder Giveaway for Her Dying Day! You wanna know who it is?

First, please note that my children drew this name. On Mother’s Day. Unwillingly.

“Hey, get in here!”

“Why?”

“I need you to draw a name?”

“For what?”

“Does it matter? It’s Mother’s Day and I’m asking you to do one tiny thing for me after 36 hours of hard labor and the buckets of snot I have wiped from your noses.”

Sigh. “Fiiiiinnnne.”

<Draws name> Who’s Craig Duffy?

That’s right! The big winner is CRAIG DUFFY!

Congratulations! The box of swag is already winging its way to you courtesy of USPS because I was motivated, made a to-do list, and was packed with energy yesterday.

You know what else I got into the mail? The bookmarks and bookplates for all of you who preordered with Swamp Fox Bookstore. Even though this preorder campaign is finished you can still order from Swamp Fox and get the bookmark and signed bookplate in your books.

ALSO! I am having a Goodreads Giveaway! 5 lucky people will be winning a physical copy of Her Dying Day simply by going to my Goodreads profile and clicking on some buttons. But don’t do it yet! The giveaway will start at 12:00am PT on Thursday, May 12 and will finish at 11:59pm PT on Thursday, May 26.

In just 4 short weeks you’re going to be meeting June and Greer and I’m so, so excited. I gave a copy to my mom for Mother’s Day and she loved it. And not just because it’s dedicated to her.

I hope the mother figures in your life also had a great Mother’s Day. And if you mother any kid or creature I wish you a very happy Mother’s Day.

Be well.

You can preorder my book at Swamp Fox Books, an independent, family-owned  book store! Or Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or any of your local bookstores, but if you order from Swamp Fox you get a signed bookplate and a cool bookmark.
