The rats of Trillium City are underground and have been so for years. Little do the weary humans of the steely city realize, an ancient throng of strangely intelligent rats exist right under their very feet, thriving in the intricate Catacombs excavated lifetimes ago.
Last week Hilary created an award, The One Good Rat Award....
This is brilliant! Hilary is giving out a blog award that's related to her new book.
Hilary said," As writers, our own work is near and dear to our hearts. My debut novel, Nightshade City, is about rats, but it's also very much about family and not letting a few decide the fate of many. It's about standing up for yourself and deciding you can make a difference, you can succeed even when the odds all point to failure.
Therefore, in the spirit of Nightshade City, I've created my own blog award, which I'm very excited about! The One Good Rat Award! I thought of the heroes of my book and what they had to accomplish and the monumental odds they were up against to do so. These writers I've named for this award are on the road to publishing or already there and just life loving writers who deserve to be blogged about! "
I really think this is brilliant. Everytime I see this award on someone's blog I will connect it in my mind with NIGHTSHADE CITY. I'd like to thank Hilary for presenting me with the award. I'm honored, but I'm totally impressed with the whole idea of making an award related to your upcoming book.
What marketing activities you plan on doing when your first book gets published?
I'm still looking for workshop suggestions for 2010. If you could click on the link and post your suggests I'd appreciate it.
