Breakfast at ThrillerFest. <a href="http://thrillerfest.com/" target="_blank">ThrillerFest</a> is a whirlwind of a conference held in
NYC each July. I attended author panels on things like craft, character, and
marketing/promotion, and a special State of The Market, which included

Then there were talks by the master authors like Heather Graham, George RR

Sometimes we get good news when least
expected. Recently, I was surprised with good news that disguised even greater
news.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Before the end of last school year,
Bookmarks, a literary arts organization which produces the largest book
festival in the Carolinas, created a summer reading program with activities and
prizes for student participants across North Carolina. With the introduction of
this reading program came the good news: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Island
Sting</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Stakeout, the first two
novels in my tween eco mystery series,</i> were on the program reading lists,
and I was asked to kick off this program with an author presentation. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">What fun!
Not knowing the number or ages of children who’d attend, I tailored my
endangered species game to work with whomever showed up, and the evening truly
was fun. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Soon a fancy program listing books,
activities, entrance requirements, and prizes circulated in North Carolina
communities with authors of the chosen titles displayed on the back cover. I
was impressed with the marketing and thrilled when I spotted my photo right below
those of big name authors like Kate DiCamillo and Deborah Diessen (alphabetical
order, you know) and in close proximity to Joseph Bruchac. Whoa! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">After a few
days, I noticed asterisks by certain author names on the title listings. I paid
little attention until someone pointed out what the asterisk meant: * <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">denotes 2016 Festival Author</i>. That was
the greater surprise. You see, there is no formal application to participate in
this festival. Authors simply receive a call. This was when I realized the call
to participate in the Bookmarks festivities went way beyond the summer reading
program. It became real when the two-page agreement showed up in my mailbox. I
was blown away. What a way to launch my newest book!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<b>Earth Day elicits mixed feelings for me.</b> While it’s uplifting to see and hear people the world over appreciating the wonders of nature and the importance of protecting our environment, it’s sad that we designate one day to remind ourselves of what should be obvious every day. We depend on the environment for our existence. But we have become increasingly separated from nature, living a plugged-in life inside four walls, within cities made of boxes stacked side by side and on top of each other, rarely considering the source of our sustenance.<br />
<br />
This boxed-in life leads to nature deficit disorder, a term coined by Richard Louv in <i><b>Last Child in the Woods</b></i>. One deficiency of this disorder is a careless environmental attitude. If a child never experiences wonder at a seed’s transformation into a living plant, never truly sees it grow to provide food, raw materials for shelter or clothing; if he never contemplates the source of oxygen while breathing forest air or experiences the sensation of wading in a creek, or swimming in a lake or ocean; if she never touches, sees, smells, or hears the flora and fauna that provide food, energy, and fertilizer to sustain life... Well, truth is, if a child doesn’t interact and connect with nature, how can we expect him to care about the environment? To a child living inside four walls his environment may be fine. Especially if he controls it with a thermostat. <i>Ecology? Conservation? Meh.</i><br />

I combine my ecological passion and love of adventure to write about teens who don’t spend all day in a box. They experience wild outdoor adventures. Like many teens, they have family, school, and friendship problems. They can’t often control trouble in their own lives, but they boldly fight to protect wildlife and their local environment.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
Readers who never venture outdoors can inside the pages of my novels safely explore the ocean, tropical forests, and rugged beaches. They can survive wild storms, heroically outwit dangerous criminals, and solve mysteries that baffle adults, all while protecting wildlife and the ecological health of their own community.<br />

<span lang="EN-US">I reluctantly started playing women’s hockey
when my co-workers wouldn’t leave me alone about it. They begged me to play on
their team with them. I signed up for no other reason except to get them to
quit bothering me. I had figure skated all my life, but I’d never donned a pair
of hockey skates, gear, or held a hockey stick until that very first game. Well,
the rest is history. I was completely “hooked.” I knew nothing about hockey, I
didn’t know any of the rules, I had no idea what “off-sides” meant, and
couldn’t understand why the ref kept blowing the whistle at me. I instantly
became a hockey lover. I played for 8 years before my children became so
involved in hockey that I just couldn’t keep up with it anymore. Now I just
write about it!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 54.0pt; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span lang="EN-US">Sexy scenes are not easy for me to write. I
definitely had help from my editor! I’m completely jealous of writers who say writing

<span lang="EN-US">Anyone who has suffered from a broken heart can
relate to Haylie. I’m certainly one of those people, so it was easy for me to
tap into her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cam developed in my mind
in two distinct ways. One was the idea of wanting what you can’t have, and
another was the idea of a good guy getting the girl. It seems like there are so

<span lang="EN-US">There is something so special and memorable about early
adulthood. Maybe that’s why I’m drawn to writing about that time in life when
mistakes feel so monumental. In the end, not all mistakes turn out bad, and
maybe some mistakes are meant to happen.</span></div>

<strong style="font-size: 18px;">Excerpt from The Case of the Washed-Up Warlock: </strong></div>
<br />
“Any news yet?” He sat down on his bed and wedged himself against a mountain of pillows.<br />
I was about to answer when a glint of gray caught my eye. A stone the size of a cookie, with an uneven hole in the middle of it, sat on his bedside table. “Is that your enchanted sea hag stone?” The one that had started all the trouble?<br />
“Yeah. Glad she finally woke up and told me ’bout Dexter busting into my closet.”<br />
I ignored him and approached the troublemaking pebble. Its smooth exterior was cool against my skin when I rolled it between my fingers. Not a sign of life existed until I dropped it – kinda accidentally – onto his table. Thud.<br />
Dark, creepy eyes appeared, lined with spiky, green eyelashes. A tiny mouth with slimy black lips emerged around the hole. And a long, carrot-shaped nose covered in warts jutted out. “Hey, you. Don’t drop me like a bag of dirt.” Her voice screeched like a spider monkey on a rampage.<br />
I laughed. “You talking about Garrett’s Lev performance?”<br />
Garrett cleared his throat. “That’s not my fault. It’s a spell.”<br />
“Don’t you drop me again, you idiotic hooligan.” The sea hag had a ’tude stronger than Alexandria’s.<br />
I wanted to fling the stupid stone out the window, but that wasn’t the best way to get information. If the dumb hag had seen Dexter, maybe she’d seen something else that could help me solve the case.<br />
“Sorry,” I said. “I didn’t mean to.”<br />
“Yeah, right. I know a rock dropper when I see one.”<br />
I stifled a smirk and a smart comment about a rolling stone. “You see anything else suspicious in Garrett’s room?”<br />
She batted her needle-like eyelashes. “Nothing but that nerd ’lock who slipped in here like some moron ghost who hasn’t mastered being dead yet. He fumbled with the door forever before crashing in like a nitwit.”<br />
Anger shot through my veins like an ink pen explosion. First Garrett had insulted Dex. And now some stone with a hideous, old hag face? Who do they think they are? I grabbed the dumb rock with both hands and pinched the sea hag’s ugly warty nose, intent on breaking it off.<br />
But she bit me!<br />
Her moldy teeth chomped down on my fingers, drawing blood.<br />
“Ouch! You stupid sea hag!” I tried to hurl her against the wall, but her grip was like a pit bull’s.<br />
If pit bulls had carrot-shaped noses, spider monkey voices, and moldy teeth.<br />
“Get this thing off me,” I yelled at Garrett. “Or I’ll drop your case.”</div>

<b><i>Exciting changes are happening at Leap Books! </i></b></h2>
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjjjl4pZJA0ZA35JIn1ammoLhb9Dg1nldp365kgxHFjdGaBxvGglTx4G1tAo5_UxK7Lae1HCQz4tWGxWJlncNqNZQ5RAOCsm33jLzn9gCJuPykjK3sHPSWWWEdAXZhEMXL5Tc5JD9DgmgN/s1600/Seek-Logo.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjjjl4pZJA0ZA35JIn1ammoLhb9Dg1nldp365kgxHFjdGaBxvGglTx4G1tAo5_UxK7Lae1HCQz4tWGxWJlncNqNZQ5RAOCsm33jLzn9gCJuPykjK3sHPSWWWEdAXZhEMXL5Tc5JD9DgmgN/s320/Seek-Logo.png" width="320" /></a>We recently updated our middle grade line's name from FROLIC to SEEK because we noticed our books' protagonists don't do a lot of frolicking--but they certainly seek out adventure and answers.<br />
<br />
The first book in the SEEK line is WHEN SPARROWS FALL by Diana Blackstone. A powerful debut for Diana, WHEN SPARROWS FALL follows Susanna Stutzman as she solves a mystery that pits her conscience against her community.<br />
<br />
To add to the excitement of the new line name, and the launch of a new SEEK book, we at Team Leap are also excited to announce our brand new Acquisitions Editor for the SEEK line: Kelly Hashway!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJCJqPdl0u_FaetD6HjYphRAYgH_MJ_RdbwSN4mZeGlMKzLWQj_-EYr1Z92pMfvspC6Gir8cJY1WU-u9goWUtfHOfAHGJwCBu0RmG88e9lnQE8ebDgjdB1XGhAg9pEBWzlCZHKT4Yz4IPX/s1600/KellyHashway.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJCJqPdl0u_FaetD6HjYphRAYgH_MJ_RdbwSN4mZeGlMKzLWQj_-EYr1Z92pMfvspC6Gir8cJY1WU-u9goWUtfHOfAHGJwCBu0RmG88e9lnQE8ebDgjdB1XGhAg9pEBWzlCZHKT4Yz4IPX/s320/KellyHashway.png" width="212" /></a>Kelly Hashway has been carefully editing books for Leap for more than a year and has been an invaluable member of our freelance staff. So it was a tremendous stroke of luck that we could bring her aboard to play a larger role.<br />
<br />
Kelly holds a masters degree in English Secondary Education from East Stroudsburg University. After teaching language arts for seven years, she became a full-time writer and freelance editor. Her editorial experience includes editing picture books and novels for three book publishers, proofreading educational documents for two school districts, and offering both developmental and copy edits for her own list of clients. She’s had over one hundred short stories published in a variety of venues and has two young adult series published, another on the way, and many other projects in the works!<br />
<br />
Kelly takes over all acquisitions for the SEEK line immediately and we've heard a rumor that she's about ready to open the doors briefly to unagented submissions! Watch our site here for more details and follow Kelly on <a href="http://facebook.com/kellyhashway">Facebook.com/kellyhashway</a> or <a href="http://twitter.com/kellyhashway">Twitter.com/kellyhashway</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/Leapbks">Twitter.com/Leapbks</a> to keep up-to-date on submission calls.<br />

Previously known as "Frolic," the line contains such notable books as <a href="http://leapbks.net/authors/m-z/maria-v-snyder/" target="_blank">Maria V.

After careful consideration Team Leap decided the books include less frolicking than one might think based on the line's name and decided that SEEK was more appropriate as the main characters seek out answers to everything from environmental crime, to mysterious magic, and how to move forward after losing a loved one.</div>

To add to the excitement, the first book bearing the SEEK logo will release in June and comes to us from the talented <a href="http://leapbks.net/authors/a-f/diana-blackstone/" target="_blank">Diana Blackstone</a>. Her novel, WHEN SPARROWS FALL, features young Susanna Stutzman, a Mennonite teen trying to find her way in her newly blended family and discovering a dangerous secret along the way. Will she follow her conscience or what others want her to do? SEEK the answer this June...</div>

<li><b>Laurie J. Edwards for having the original idea of an Alice-In-Wonderland inspired anthology for Leap;</b></li>
<li><b>Everyone spreading the word about our call for submissions</b>;</li>
<li><b>All the writers who submitted their short stories to the anthology</b>, whether they were selected, or not; </li>
<li><b>Gaetano Pezzillo for creating a stunning book cover </b>(and an animated book cover);</li>
<li><b>The staff that read the submissions first</b> (Heather Elia, Shannon Delany, Judith Graves);</li>
<li><b>Heather Elia for creating the document that kept all the subs organized through the entire process </b>(what an awesome intern!);</li>
<li><b>Kelly Hashway for editing and copy editing</b>;</li>
<li><b>Judith Graves for creating our cool book trailer</b>;</li>
<li><b>The rejected authors who proceeded with grace, spreading good will about the book</b> (if you aren't in the publishing world you might not realize how appreciated that level of professionalism is);</li>
<li><b>Shannon Delany for doing the interior illustrations</b>;</li>
<li><b>Ali Cross for formatting</b> (and reformatting);</li>
<li><b>The interns (old and new) and others who spread word</b> about the book through Twitter, Facebook, Goodreads, Tumblr--and all things social media;</li>
<li><b>The printers and staff </b>who spent time with Shannon on the phone when she called them (multiple times) to make sure things were going well;</li>

<i><b>The following is an excerpt from author Holly Odell's short story found in BEWARE THE LITTLE WHITE RABBIT.</b></i><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Broken Tethers</span></b></div>
<br />
Black crows punctuated the damp April morning with bleak conversation. Long-neglected hedges and comically unkempt shrubbery guarded the perimeter of a vast, overgrown property. A young woman fought her way through the snarled branches and emerged from a particularly slovenly-looking clump of bushes. Her appearance suggested she had already endured a gauntlet of physical indignities, of which this was the culmination.<br />
<br />
“Come on, Alice.” She perked up. “Urban exploration is a dirty business. I should’ve thought about how messy this was actually going to be, though.” Next time she’d bring a towel, and...she looked down at her clothes...maybe a plastic jumpsuit, on second thought.<br />
<br />
Wiping her muddy hands down the front of her jacket, she shifted attention to the object of her efforts.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEphSnUuBSvjMnEaIorgi9MxwrZccNBlrxz3W381KbhouMPCojakqHVweNnSP6n_zyW1qESPtdOJnvF-EE7jsQHjINpLM6xpagynASXGHOUNO9kqafemMyBz01SMgZ9Sk9V3XqM6mQeBCQ/s1600/BewareTheLittleWhiteRabbit_Animated.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEphSnUuBSvjMnEaIorgi9MxwrZccNBlrxz3W381KbhouMPCojakqHVweNnSP6n_zyW1qESPtdOJnvF-EE7jsQHjINpLM6xpagynASXGHOUNO9kqafemMyBz01SMgZ9Sk9V3XqM6mQeBCQ/s1600/BewareTheLittleWhiteRabbit_Animated.gif" height="400" width="250" /></a>At last she had a clear view of the mansion. Alice gasped. Abandoned for decades, it had slumped into an exquisite state of disrepair. “What a spectacular wreck.”<br />
<br />
Things of beauty succumbing to the ravages of time and nature sent her heart leaping into her throat. Was it the catharsis of tragedy, the ache of nostalgia for a bygone age that thrilled her so much? Or the fact that she wasn’t supposed to be here? D, all of the above.<br />
<br />
She forgave herself a mischievous chuckle at the thought of her phone ringing in the medicine cabinet where she “accidentally” left it. Why was the concept of voluntary solitude so difficult for some people to grasp? Certain places practically clobbered you over the head, demanding to be designated as tether-free zones. Nothing can rip the cheesecloth from the lens of a Tolkien-esque <br />

A badass adventuress can only tolerate so much pestering; she was entitled to a little harmless payback.<br />
<br />
Her eyes roamed across the decaying exterior as she strode through the long grass to the top of the hill. After rummaging for a moment she produced a small digital camera from her pocket and took a picture of thick, tangled vines embracing the chimney, which lurched as if recoiling from the side of the house. She relished a delicious gothic shiver before resuming her assessment of the formidable structure.<br />

<br />
<br />
It is not a moonless night, nor is the moon full. It is not a half moon, which can be argued is more symbolic than either. It is not even a crescent, which can be meaningful enough for the magical practitioner on a budget. It is a waxing gibbous. Bulging. Grotesque. And hanging too low in the sky like the misshapen eye of a cosmic horror that has taken an unusual interest in humanity.<br />
<br />

Your last name is uninteresting and will soon be irrelevant. Your name is Alice, and you are walking home. It is too dark for your mother’s purposes, and she worries about you being out too late, but Katherine’s house is less than fifteen minutes away, and down two hills. No one waiting to ambush a defenseless teenage girl is going to bother walking up two hills, you told your mother.<br />
<br />
You still believe this, but you’ve since developed other concerns.<br />
<br />
None of the streetlamps are working and your shadow is beginning to worry you.<br />
<br />
You are particularly worried that it may not belong to<br />
you.<br />
<br />
It is stretched out in front of you and you don’t remember it looking like that.<br />
<br />
Your mother has told you that you’re going through a late growth spurt, which is apparently why you keep walking into doorframes.<br />

<br />
It does not account for your shadow’s head.<br />
<br />
Your shadow’s head is freakishly large, weirdly distended, and there are two bumps emerging from the top of it.<br />
<br />
You try not to speculate about the bumps.<br />
<br />
You move your arm. Your shadow moves its arm, maybe a fraction of a second later.<br />
<br />
You shiver and fold your arms in front of yourself. Maybe it’s just the way you moved, but your shadow seems to swell.<br />

She didn’t know how her posture could be less than poker-straight, considering the amount of muscle that had gone into lacing her corset. She dragged her feet as she followed her mother and older sister across Fairmount Park, through the crowds, and toward her doom.<br />

Alice tried not to roll her eyes and trudged on. Ever since her older sister, Katharine, had talked to that boy at the bookshop, she had been begging their mother to take them to the Centennial Exposition. So here Alice was, on her way to an afternoon of torture and utter despair.</div>

The Women’s Pavilion.</div>

Alice had come along hoping she would get to glimpse the amazing machines on display in the Machinery Hall, but they were on the other side of the fairgrounds. She had begged her mother to let her go see it, but her mother had forbidden it.</div>

<br />
The October sky was as crisp as a red apple. The morning light sliced through the overgrown yard, causing every shape and shadow to stand out in high contrast, including the white rabbit.<br />
<br />
At first Alice thought it was a stuffed animal propped up inside a ramshackle hutch with a piece of roofing nailed to the top and hardware cloth stapled across the front. But as Alice approached, she saw that it was, in fact, alive. Its whiskers twitched, its mouth moved as if nibbling a blade of grass, and one ear fell forward rather sloppily.<br />
<br />
“Curious and curiouser,” Alice whispered and glanced toward the house. Mrs. Miller had passed away months ago and the house had been vacant ever since, or so Alice had thought. The weeds grew to the tops of her navy kneesocks and tickled the backs of her legs as she hurried past the rabbit and onto Bradford Hills Preparatory School.<br />
<br />
At school Alice kept her head down in the hallways and her nose in a book in class. The rumor mill still churned out stories about Alice’s stepfather, Congressman Shipley, each one more outrageous than the last. The circumstances of a high-profile politician leaving their small town so suddenly, and in the midst of a campaign for re-election, proved too mysterious for anyone to let fade away.<br />

“I heard her mother caught him with another woman.”<br />
<br />
“I heard it was Alice who caught him, and it was her mother’s sister.”<br />

<br />
“Come on, Alice, stop daydreaming. Out, girl. Let’s get us some snacks and be back on the road.”<br />
<br />
Alice looked at the speaker, Maizie, the most aggressive girl in their group. Maizie had long, curly strawberry blond hair and fierce freckles. She also wore a frown. She didn’t care too much for Alice.<br />
<br />

<br />
Alice frowned. Folding a corner of a page from a book she was reading, she closed it and looked out the window. The group of fifty classmates and four chaperones was headed to Orlando for a fun weekend stay. Alice wasn’t looking forward to getting there. She wasn’t interested in water rides or roller coasters. She was happy being a homebody, studying hours a night. That’s how she ended up on this field trip. Their school was rewarding students for top grades. Alice had never wanted to sign the field trip form, but her mother smiled, thinking it would be a good idea for her to go.<br />
<br />
“You never go out much,” her mother had said. “Something’s missing in your life. You need to go out more often.” She’d even hand delivered the field trip form to the main office to ensure that they received it on her daughter’s behalf.<br />
<br />

Sitting next to Maizie had been no easy task. The first hour, Maizie had been asleep. Many of them had been, since they’d arrived at the school to board the bus at six that morning to get to Orlando before noon. Then the second hour, Maizie had been nasty, giving her snide looks and making remarks about Alice’s mousy hair, pale skin, and nose in a book.<br />
<br />
It was a cold February day, with one of those rare cold fronts that descends on Florida. People wore sweaters and jackets. A line formed outside both restrooms, people hugging themselves and even shivering. The bus driver also got off the bus to go to the restroom. They were somewhere in Central Florida. The thrum of cars driving over the speed limit caused vibrations at the service plaza in the middle of the highway.<br />
<br />
A yard from the bus, a driver of a shiny black Mustang parked next to a fuel pump. A middle-aged man with a paunch stepped out. He pulled his jeans up, but didn’t manage to yank them across his middle. The belt slid down and settled underneath his stomach. He wiped his nose with a finger, adjusted his sunglasses, and walked inside.<br />

Alice admired the car, her eyes scouring back and forth the onyx length of it. On the dashboard was a stuffed white rabbit, which didn’t match the man who exited the car. Her eyes narrowed on it, because it looked familiar. It reminded Alice of her own stuffed white rabbit from childhood. She carried it back and forth between her parents’ homes when she stayed with her mother on weekdays and her father on weekends. She took it with her to elementary school. Then in the third grade, during recess, someone stole it. A boy with a wicked smirk and mad eyes knocked her to the ground and grabbed it. She cried and complained to a teacher, but no one did anything and she never saw the rabbit again.<br />
