The Vault of Dreamers in the Wild
Now.

Both sites are offering giveaways as well. Woot!

Today, the Vault of Dreamers Blog Tour takes me to Mundie Moms for an interview with Katie, and to Word Spelunking, where Aeicha has a thoughtful review and a giveaway. Fun fact: Katie first interviewed me on Mundie Moms four years ago, when Birthmarked was published!

Caragh O’Brien and Suzy Staubach at the UConn Co-op
I have a special relationship with the Co-op. I first met Suzy 20 years ago when I moved to the area and came into the bookstore with my kids so they could crawl into the little red barn. We bought our first… Continue reading
