Newsy Stuff :)

Dan’s Dog Eared Books was a blast this weekend. I gave a workshop that took the audience from finding their inner book, to submitting and what to expect from the industry. Everyone was most excellent to me, including Jeanie, my hostess, who sent me home with chocolate and a blinged out bookmark! I think I want to be adopted now ;)

The last of the editing for Delbert Dallas and the Dragon Diaries, #1 Voyage to Viking Island was finished this weekend. Look for the release on March 22^nd. These short stories are fabulous reading material for middle-grade readers. I loved highlighting the Viking age in this first story. What fun! I had no idea what a byrnie was!

My blog tour continues with a few more fabulous new stops and places to be entered into a contest. Check them out here:

First, a HUGE shout out to Tea Mouse. Not only is she being a fabulous blogger and hosting a stop on my tour, but she also made the lovely banners everyone is seeing on all my blog stops. Thank you bunches, Tea Mouse!! Visit her blog here: http://teamouse.wordpress.com/2011/02/23/blog-tour-giveaway-with-j-r-turner/

Next is the Tales Compendium. They’ve been exceptionally wonderful to me. Visit them here: http://www.thetalescompendium.com/2011/02/jr-turner-blog-tour-interview-and.html

And last but certainly not least, Reading, Writing and Waiting has a beautiful site to visit: http://youngadultbookworm.blogspot.com/

Over all though, Paranormal Indulgence (run by the wonderful Asher Knight) has some really amazing and unique things going on over there. Check it out here: http://paranormalindulgence.blogspot.com/2011/02/end-of-week-rally.html You really don’t want to miss this one! :)

Okay, back to work for me. Lots happening and some really great books coming out from Quake and Echelon Press soon!

Warmly,
Jenny:)
