Goddess Girls published in Greece!
The first four Goddess Girls are being published in Greece. (Yay!) Seems appropriate, don't you think? The Greek publisher, Anubis, sent the covers to us as a courtesy, to proof them. It's really fun to see how Goddess Girls is spelled in Greek.

Sometimes, as with Book 6, we also bring in characters like the Egyptian goddess, Isis, from other pantheons. All the books have an actual Greek myth or two at their cores."

Bed Bats & Beyond: enter to win a copy this weekend!
'Tis the season for all thing batty.
I have 3 extra copies of Bed, Bats, & Beyond to give away this weekend!
To enter:
Drop a comment here with something "beyond" as the title suggests. (PG rated please) For instance: Bed, Bats & Bonkers!
FINK CAN'T SLEEP...
He's tried counting mosquitoes. He's tried counting spiders--but nothing seems to work.
"I know something that'll put you right to sleep. A scary story," said his brother Fang.
"What you need is an adventure story," said his brother Batrick.
"You need a love story to make you feel all warm and marshmallowy inside," said his sister Batsy.
Now Fink is wide-awake, scared, excited, AND totally grossed out by the kissing story!
The sun is coming up and it's time for little bats to go to bed.
Is there any way Fink will ever get to sleep in time?
Three winners will be randomly chosen and names posted here on Tuesday! Good luck and beyond...
