Tis the season for ARC giveaways! And this week, you have two more chances to win an Advance Reader’s Copy of The Sinister Sweetness of Splendid Academy… as well as a bunch of swag and candy. (We’re talking dark chocolate here, people.)

Here are the links, and don’t wait! These contests only run for a few more days. Also, there are slightly awkward interviews with me at both sites, so good for all your “laughing at Nikki” needs.

Karen McCoy’sThe Writer Librarian

and the excellent

Sleuths, Spies, and Alibis

And while you’re clicking links, check out my friend Shelli Cornelison‘s awesome YA short story, “The Hard Shells of Turtles” at Verbal Pyrotechnics. Wait… a new venue for YA short fiction? I hope you people are taking notes. 🙂

This week’s awesome reviews for Sinister Sweetness:

Thanks to Omnimystery News for including Sinister Sweetness on your new mystery titles for kids list!

Agent-mate Lori M. Lee and her sweet daughter both read and reviewed. *hugs*

Check out The Show Me Librarian’s list!

Now I have to go finish writing an essay… and eating an almond gateau. Mmmmm… the difficult life of a writer. 🙂
