The Hunt

Nightshade hits stores today!!! Are you ready?

Some folks who are most definitely ready are the lovely ladies at the Red Balloon Bookstore in St. Paul, MN, where on October 29 we're having my official book party. I can't wait!!!

Time for a contest!

Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

The week of October 19, hunt down Nightshade in your local bookstore and show me when you've captured the book! Share your picture of Nightshade in the wild in the comments here, on Twitter, Facebook or your own blog. Contest is open until Wednesday, October 27.

The winner will receive this extra special Nightshade prize pack, which includes:

Mister Wolf the puppet (recognize him from the photo above?)
Allegro Coffee's Vail Blend
Calla's favorite book, Watership Down

A journal in which to record your own stories

Three CDs that were oft played in the writing of
Nightshade (TV on the Radio, Bat for Lashes, and Radiohead)
And 5 signed bookplates to share with your friends (or hoard, if you'd like)


Please note: While sometimes you can find books prior to their official publication date, Nightshade has a strict on-sale date of October 19 so don't go hunting until next Tuesday. The contest will be open from Tuesday October 19 to Wednesday October 27.

Good hunting!!
