Please be patient with the fewer and far-between posts....we have a new 'half' born in April and things are slow as we adjust and try desperately for more sleep. (It's a girl!)

Important Information regarding Forbidden Sea Giveaway: Please Read!!

Hi Guys - I just received an email from Sheila Nielson (author of The Forbidden Sea) where she told me she'd heard from her publishers, and they asked that she not do any interviews, hand out any arcs, or show the cover anywhere.
I'm not naming the publishers, but lets just say I think that's incredibly stingy of them. You'd think they would want this type of free publicity among the book-loving world...
At any rate, I am writing this from my 'sick bed' - I have a stomach bug of some kind that has wiped me out. I don't feel up to taking everything down right this second, and I think it's only fair to give some of you the chance to enter the giveaway before it's taken down.
The giveaway will end tomorrow morning (11/6) when I get online to do so. This will probably be about 8am MST. After the giveaway ends, I will take down the giveaway post with the interview and remove the cover from our reviews. Sorry to spring this on everyone - I'm sure we'll have a chance to repost her interview closer to the publication date.
-Raspberry

I think it's a bit odd they don't want her to post the cover considering that with a bit of Googling I was able to easily find the cover picture on a part of the publisher's website that can be accessed by anyone.
