BREAKING NEWS: I’m thrilled that ‘Prisoner Of The Black Hawk’, book #2 of The Mapmaker Chronicles series, has been named as one of the Top 10 Middle Fiction Books of 2015 by Readings. See the full list here.
A good list to read through Allison (must keep focusing on NaNo though …) Just to let you know my son has ripped through Prisoner Of The Black Hawk at a very quick pace – I think we will need to go and get #3 very soon, to satisfy his curiosity about what happens next!
So many great posts and links, Allison – thanks for sharing so generously. Keeping your post to follow all the links properly after NaNoWriMo!
Thanks Karen! I’m still slogging away through NaNo very, very slowly…
