Excellent news from valued contributor Sophie Masson:
Demigods and Monsters, the essay collection on Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson series for children, in which I have an essay called Language of the Heart, is now out in a general trade edition with Ben Bella Books. Amongst other things, the essay is about how the childhood reading of myths can influence you. The Teen Libris site is running a competition to win copies of the book. Go to the Demigods and Monsters page at teenlibris.com for more info and a link to the competition.
Fans of YA fantasy fiction will love the book.
Thanks for passing the contest info, Sophie!
And this is my bad, but the trade paperback edition of Rosina Lippi’s fantastic women’s fiction novel The Pajama Girls of Lambert Square released on March 3. Cozy up with a cuppa tea and prepare to lose an afternoon to Rosina’s effortless storytelling, acute sense of place, with drama up the wazoo.
