Before I get to today's trailer, I have a quick publishing update. I got the news from Agent Goddess last week that Splintered has sold to Taiwan, which means I'll one day be translated in both German and Chinese. YAY!
So "谢谢" and "Danke" to these lovely territories for believing in my story! ♥˘⌣˘♥
Now, onto the Skary misspelling of my title...
Skary Childrin and the Carousel of Sorrow is my trailer highlight for today.
Not only does the story itself sound dark and unique, but so are the illustrations drawn by the author. Here's a sneak peak of her talent:
This one is for young readers, ages 8 and up, but it's so visually appealing, it's now on my TBR pile just so I can indulge in the artwork.
As you can see on my calendar, I won't be blogging anymore this month (other than poetry Mondays). I'm on blog-cation over the holiday to work on edits. But Pat McDonald, the founder and moderator of Query Tracker, is coming by the first Friday in December for an interview, so I hope to see you all then.
Oh, and one last thing, have a SPECTACULAR and safe Thanksgiving holiday. (◕‿◕)
Interesting music. :-)

ReplyDeleteAnother reason to half wish my children were still little :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the foreign sales, and happy Thanksgiving to you.
Sarah~ Hi! I know, I felt the same way, then decided to indulge for myself and donate the book to the local library afterwards. :) It's too pretty to pass up!
ReplyDeleteI hope you've receieved your book by now! I sent it last week, but not sure how long it takes to get to the UK. Thanks for the kuddos!
Yeah on your book going to Taiwan! That trailer made me want to read it as well :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the Taiwan sale! WOO-HOO! That's some exciting stuff, missy ;o)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to Pat's interview ;o)
I'm on my hand-me-down laptop, so I couldn't watch the trailer (no sound) :-/ But, it sounds good! Might have to check that one out for the kiddies ;)
J.A.~ Thank you!! We'll have to compare notes about this book ... it looks FAB and weird. My fave combination. HEH.
ReplyDeleteAngela~ Hi cutie! Thanks, pal. :) And yes, this is the PERFECT book for someone w/youngsters. Mine (one in high school and one who's graduated) wouldn't touch it w/a ten foot pole (they're too cool for it-HA). Sigh... I miss the Santa years. ;-/
Congrats on Taiwan!!! What a HUGE deal!!! :)
ReplyDeleteLisa~ Aww, thanks! Now I have two languages to learn! Hee
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited! I just noticed that SPLINTERED is listed on GoodReads, so I can finally add it to my TBR! This makes the book feel so much more real now.
ReplyDelete...Is it Fall yet? ;)
yay! thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteBonnie~ Thank you so much for putting me on your list!! WOW. You just gave me even more to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. :) YOU ROCK. And thanks for stopping by, too. I'm doing edits right now, so at the moment, fall is feeling VERY CLOSE. Hee

Happy Thanksgiving!
Lynne (aka Gatorwriter from QT)
Great news about Taiwan. I'm waving my pom poms for you!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic news about the translations. Also, that trailer was so spooky! Definitely looks like a good book. I wonder if I could get it and say it was actually for my nephew, and I'm keeping it in trust for him until he's a little older ;).
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting those foreign rights!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the foreign rights news!
ReplyDeleteLynne~ aka gatorwriter~ SO NICE to see you again!! I've missed you guys over there. I need to hop over and let everyone know about Patrick's visit on Dec. 2. But it's so hard to find time w/the holidays and these edits. I'll try to get over there, but if I don't, spread the word! Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!
ReplyDeleteJane~ LOL, thanks for that, little cheerleader. Hee
CD~ I know, I'm thinking about doing the same thing w/my nephew. He's only four, so that would totally work! LOL. Thanks for stopping by!
Catherine and Nina~ Thank you lovely ladies! Happy Thanksgiving to you both. :)
I miss you! Hope you had a great holiday!
ReplyDeleteI miss you, too, Owlgoat! And I miss your wonderful stories and stopping by your blog! After my deadline (Dec 12) I'll be stopping by again, and seeing you on twitter. Hope you had an awesome Thanksgiving, too!
