Terrible Titles and a Goodreads Giveaway!

10/3/2015

 
Last time I blogged I was busy hiding under the bed in terror at the thought of my book coming out. Now that I'm less than a month from release, I am naturally soooo much more calm and collected. *breathes into paper bag* ANYWAY, ignoring the shaking author in the corner, I have fun stuff happening! Starting tomorrow, for one week, my publisher Orchard Books will be offering five copies of The D'Evil Diaries over on Goodreads (UK and Ireland only, sorry). Woohoo, free stuff! Off you go and enter, I'll wait. *taps foot*

Goodreads Book Giveaway

The D'Evil Diaries by Tatum Flynn

The D'Evil Diaries

by Tatum Flynn

Giveaway ends March 18, 2015.

See the giveaway details at Goodreads.

Enter to win
If you want to get a taste of the book first, you can also read the first two chapters online here.

Secondly, YA author NK Traver, whose *brilliant* cyberthriller Duplicity comes out a week today (go order it, guys, seriously, it rocks!) tagged me in a blog thingy, which was extremely entertaining when NK did it so here is my bash at it. The idea is to pluck ten short sentences at random from your book and - ta dah! - those are now your terrible alternate titles. Here are the crazy alternatives I ended up with:

1) You Can’t Get Grape Slush Puppy in Hell
2) I Was Too Stupid to Live
3) The White Telephone Was Ringing
4) Trying to Set Fire to Your Teacher with a Flamethrower
5) It Was a Lie and We Both Knew It
6) Lions and Tigers and Bears, Indeed
7) God’s Big Emergency!
8) What’s Your Supervillain Origin Story?
9) A Rare, Lesser-Spotted Dead Girl
10) Thunderbolts and Lightning, Very, Very, Frightening

Okay, little bit in love with number 10, it has to be said. I'm going to tag Rachel Hamilton for the same thing, knowing how hilarious her new book The Case of the Exploding Brains is, as well as Abi Ephinstone whose wonderful debut The Dreamsnatcher I'm in the midst of reading and loving right now.

Finally, I blogged over at my home-away-from-home MG Strikes Back the other day, asking a bunch of entertaining kidlit authors what their favourite thing about writing for kids was, and rambling about my own reasons why I love it. Pretty sure Elen Caldecott wins for saying 'short books' :D
