More Mega Blog Tour Winners!

Hey, lots of winners tonight...this Mega-Blog tour has been a bountiful one!

Deep in the land of Een, over Between the Cracks of Here and There, Rory Smith was triumphant! I heard Rory has been feeling under the weather, so hopefully a new book will cheer him up. Congratulations!

And across the mountains and into the beautiful Kootenays, Deb Anderson's Prose Positive winner of Facing Fire is SaskMom!

Way across the country in Toronto, Ontari-ari-ari-o at Mahtab Narsimhin's Moonlight Musings, Claudia Osmond came up triumphant. Way to go, Claudia!

And finally for tonight, across the Rockies and into the one house in Calgary where there are Three Dead Moths in the Mailbox, Jan Markley announces Samantha as the winner. Yay, Sam!

Congrats to all the winners. Your books will be winging their way to you this week!

In Which I Hit The Road ...and give a few updates

Hola Darby Readers! I'm back on tour, and have a few other tidbits to share.

First -- if you'd like to win a book or two, make sure to check out the lovely Laura Bradbury's blog The Grape Journal.  

This is a shot of Laura and her husband Franck, and their Bevy, consisting of Charlotte, Camille and Clementine.



Additionally, you may want to skip on over to The Book Pixie, who is doing a double book giveaway to celebrate her upcoming 18th birthday.

This is Briana, doing what she does best, supported by the local paper supplier.


Laura lives on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and Briana the Book Pixie is in the beautiful state of Georgia, USA, so...as you can see, I am still on the road!

In the morning, I'll put up a post of some of the winners' names from other stops along my virtual tour. Why not join the many winners and leave a comment on The Grape Journal or The Book Pixie?

And to finish, here's one of the best costumes I've seen recently, featured on boingboing -- Skater Impaled On His Own Board. A little bloodthirsty, perhaps...but still skateboard cool....!

Back on Tour -- to the Kootenays!

The blog tour continues...

Leapt across the province -- along with my scribe, kc dyer -- for a chat with writer, uber-mom and extremely cool dude Deb Anderson. Deb's blog, Prose Positive, can always be counted on for an inspirational read. And if you hop on over there RIGHT now, you can leave a comment and win, win, win!

See you there!
