Hello
again! I feel like it’s been ages since
I wrote an update post – but that’s okay.
I’ve been keeping busy with speaking engagements and workshops in
schools and events, and also with the #LoveOzYAbookclub which has been the
topic of my last few posts. We have our
first book for the book club –
Illuminae, by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff – which is pretty exciting. And I’ve been dealing with hayfever and
Spring and the last term of school rolling to a close…all in all, that’s been
enough to keep me on the hop.
The
other thing that’s on the hop is the North American tour for Every Word.
The book was released in the US and Canada a
few months ago, and I’m very excited that readers overseas are finally getting
their hot little hands on it. I’ve been
receiving some (sometimes irate) emails about WHEN IS YOUR SECOND BOOK COMING
OUT HERE OMG WHY THIS WAIT ARGH, so I’m pleased to finally be able to plug
Every Word and enjoy the way folks are getting into it.
The
blog tour starts next week, and it’s a very full schedule of tour stops. Some bloggers are doing reviews, and some
bloggers have livened up their tour stops with a bit of silliness/seriousness
from me. I’ve answered interview
questions (everything from ‘James Mycroft is a jerk: discuss’ to explaining how
I got that weird scar on my right foot), and given location pic-tours of
London, and hopefully shown everyone a pretty good time. If you’d like to catch up with what people
are saying (or you just want to know how I got the weird scar), please do check
out the tour stops below:
Monday Nov 16
Tuesday Nov 17
Wednesday Nov 18
Thursday Nov 19
Friday Nov 20
I’ve
also been doing a sneaky little promo for the tour on social media, where I’ve
been posting pics of the journey that Rachel and James took from Melbourne to
different places all over London:
I hope
I haven’t confused anybody, because I’m not actually in London right now…
But the snaps have been very fun! If you’d like to check out the pics, or
signal boost the blog tour by cross-posting, go for your life – they’re
gathered under the hashtags #EveryWord
#Wattscroft on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest.
I’ll update again in a little while, but until
then, hope you’re travelling well, and have fun reading the tour posts!
