Actually, scratch that. I don't actually like eggnog. Peppermint, maybe? Hot cocoa? We'll see.
As for today, this is pretty much a news post. First, my book is still up for SCBWI BookStop. Come visit my page, watch the video, post a comment or click "like." Enjoy some (virtual and therefore imagined) chocolate milk and cake. I love visitors.
And, while you're there, go browse the collection. If you have any readers you're buying Christmas presents for, this is a great way to find new books.
Second, I'm doing a radio show! Next Monday, October 30, at 4 pm Mountain Time, I'll be doing an interview on Young Adult Cafe with Laura Moe.I'm way excited; I'm super-honored and a bit terrified to be doing this. Listen in and hear me embarrass myself!
No, but seriously, listen in. I'd feel a lot better about this if I knew I had friends in the audience. And, if you can't, I'll share a link to the recorded interview after it happens (if I can). So, next week's post may be a day late.
And, third, my ARC tour for Arts and Thefts is still happening. If you're interested in reading Arts and Thefts ahead of the publication date and leaving me a review on Goodreads, email me at allisonkhymas@gmail.com.
Thank you for all your support. I really appreciate it. I want to leave you with something fun, to make coming to my blog worth your time, but all I have are these terrible Halloween puns:
Why are there fences around cemeteries?
Because people are dying to get in.
What do you call a cleaning skeleton?
The “grim sweeper.”
What did the werewolf eat after he’d had his teeth cleaned?
The dentist.
What treat do eye doctors give out on Halloween?
Candy corneas.
Why do ghosts shiver and moan?
It's drafty under that sheet.
What is Dracula’s favorite circus act?
He always goes for the juggler.
Why do ghosts like to ride in elevators? It raises their spirits.
What happens when a ghost gets lost in the fog?
He is mist.
What is a vampire's least favorite food?
Steak.
What do ghosts say when they hear jokes like these?
Booooo!
And one joke for my Philly friends (you'll see why):
One Halloween a trick-or-treater came to my door dressed as “Rocky” in boxing gloves and satin shorts. Soon after I gave him some goodies, he returned for more. “Aren’t you the same ‘Rocky’ who left my doorstep several minutes ago?” I asked. “Yes,” he replied, “but now I’m the sequel. I’ll be back three more times tonight too.”
Here's this week's debut:
Young Adult:
