Just a heads up that my monthly post is up over at Pub(lishing) Crawl. Today, I'm asking what your character values most and why that's important. Come on over and say hello!
I'm thrilled and honored to announce that last week, my teen fantasy novel,
The Shifter, was chosen by the
Georgia Center for the Book for this year's Ten Books All Young Georgians Should Read list (squee!).
Not only did I receive a beautiful glass trophy, but golden stickers that make the cover pop (just look how pretty it looks there on the book). You can't beat that, except by having writer pal Vicky Alvear Shecter
also make the list with her wonderful YA historical,
Cleopatra's Moon.
A huge thanks to GCB for selecting
The Shifter, and to
Joe Davich and Zachary Steele for organizing the award ceremony and a great evening. You guys rock.
The lists are selected by the writers, educators, librarians, and media representatives who comprise the Georgia Center for the Book Advisory Council. They represent a compilation of some of the best Fiction, Non-Fiction, Poetry, and children's literature by Georgia writers and artists. This year marked the fifth edition of the "Books All Georgians Should Read", and the second of the "Books All YOUNG Georgians Should Read".
Here's the full list for both adult and young readers:
