Happy World Read Aloud Day, 2016!



It's World Read Aloud Day!

World Read Aloud Day is all about celebrating the power of words, and sharing the belief that everyone has the right to literacy. You can find out more about it, and find out how you can participate, on LitWorld's website.

Spreading literacy is really important to me (OBVIOUSLY), so I was really excited to be asked by my publisher to make this video, in which I read one of my favorite sections from my book, Bite Into Bloodsuckers.

I'm really excited to be able to share it with you, and I hope you all enjoy it. Happy World Read Aloud Day!

Spread the Love with BITE INTO BLOODSUCKERS Valentines!

Hey!

So, I didn't post last week. I was taken hostage by an alien invader, and I basically slept through the latter portion of the week.*

Sorry about that. You'll get two posts this week, to make up for it!

In the meantime, I've been busy making a SURPRISE for you! Valentine's Day is in four short days, and if you're anything like me, you still don't have any valentines to give anybody. If you have kids and you're anything like me, your kids don't have valentines to give out at their class party, either.

Come on, admit it. You've all done this at least once.

But you don't have to worry, because I've been there, and I've got your back this year. I made some super cute bug doodles and bat doodles FOR YOU, FOR FREE, just because I wanted to do something nice as a way of thanking everyone for all the BLOODSUCKER love. Scissors and sharpies were involved. It was quite the process.

PROCESS.
Also, hey, look, my office is real!
Here's a photo of one of them, when it was alllllmost finished:

Isn't he cute?
All bats are boys to me. Especially the pink and purple ones.

So anyway, these are here, for everyone to download and print. For free! Thanks for being awesome.

Just click here for the high res version, or click here for the low res version.

And if you're interested in my process, let me know in the comments and I'll post about that (with more photos) later in the week!

Happy Valentine's Day!

*Viruses are aliens, too. Especially when they're inside you.
