The review site Mundie Moms selected Freefall as their Waiting on Wednesday book last week. They also announced that they'll be reviewing the book, giving away five copies in October, and hosting a live chat with the author on October 21st. Oh, that's me! :-)
Check back here or there for more details as it gets closer!
My new Vlog went up this week on The YouTube. This one is about being a survivor of rejection--literary and otherwise. Fun facts about this video:
1. I was feeling extremely unwell that day. Intern Amanda suggested that we could stop and film on a different day, but I was determined to press on!
2. The location is an abandoned elementary school. I chose it because I thought it would be quieter than Richmond Beach. I was right, but all that sound you hear in the background? That's wind!
3. As it turns out, abandoned elementary schools are places where many elderly men like to walk their dogs at 10am. Who knew?
4. One of these elderly men with dogs asked if Intern Amanda and I were doing an art project. I said, "Kind of!" He said, "Oh. Do you want me to take your picture together?" We politely declined.

Two new diary entries were posted today. Hooray!!! (Um, ha.) This week, 13-year-old Mindi lists the Christmas presents she received and complains that she isn't back at school yet. (Seriously. What? Sometimes I positively want to clobber this girl!) In addition, 14-year-old Mindi talks about boys and gets all judgey about other people's relationships. Sigh, sigh.
Kari at A Good Addiction wrote about YA characters this week: The Good, The Bad, and The Real. Seth McCoy from Freefall is the first example on her list of characters she finds memorable and realistic. I loved reading Kari's take on all of these characters' strengths and flaws and am so pleased that Seth is one of them!
