WOW! This weekend was a whirlwind of friends, family, readers, librarians, and teachers braving the icy roads and rain to welcome Wish Girl, and my friend Jo Whittemore’s new book Colonial Madness, into the world!

It was wonderful, and you should totally click here to see all the pics my sweet photographer husband put on smugmug. But before you do that, if you entered the contest to win a free school visit, and your name is Yvonne Lewis, you won! (And if you didn’t win, no worries. Everyone who showed up and entered will get something, and three other teachers/librarians will win their choice of a free Skype visit or a free signed book! Watch your email inboxes. 🙂

And if you don’t have a copy of Wish Girl yet, but are curious about it, or would like to win one? Check out the amazing Reading Nook Reviews review and giveaway this week! You could win one, and then your life would be complete. (That review is making me smile so hard right now. Thanks, Reading Nook!)

Thanks again to everyone who came out, and to the lovely readers who have been sending me personal notes about Wish Girl. I am so happy my story is finding a home on so many bookshelves, and in your hearts.
