Month: January 2011

Jenkies. MEMENTO NORA comes out in two (2) months. And, I’ve just launched a new website and Facebook page for the book.  So, I’m also launching a little ARC (signed) giveaway to kick off the countdown to Nora-dom.  What do you need to do to enter? Simple. Comment here on MementoNora.com AND like the Facebook page and/or tweet the contest with the hashtag #mementonora.  I’ll announce the winner February 8th.

But that’s not all. Starting on February 10th, I’ll have a few friends helping out, spreading the Memento meme, so to speak. Every Thursday until April 1, these writers–all with books coming out this year–will be sharing a few memories they’d never take a pill to forget.  They’ll talk, but you’ll get the rewards.  Stay tuned.

Since I’ve been bad about keeping my own blog up, I’m primarily going to post book-related news here. (I’ll still be blogging over at the League of Extraordinary Writers weekly and every once in a while on the Class of 2k11 blog.)  So, here’s the latest Memento Nora stuff:

• Memento Nora has it’s own website and Facebook page.  Check these sites for more info on the book, its inspirations, science, and activities.  With the help of Kirsten Cappy of Curious City and a few schools in New England, I’ll be launching a very cool art contest in the near future. See Micah’s Gallery on the Memento Nora site for a preliminary idea of what we’re up to. (The entry rules may be subject to change once we get all the kinks worked out.)
• Memento Nora was chosen as a Junior Library Guild selection for 2011.
• The rights to Memento Nora sold in Korea to Hankyoreh Children’s Books and in Germany to Heyne Verlag. (Kind of old news, but hadn’t posted it here yet.)
