Ramblings of a Wannabe Scribe Hi and welcome to my crazy little blog! Here you can read about all the shenanigans I stumble into while chasing that elusive dream called publication. You’ll also find author interviews, contests, and frequent helpings of Shannon Shame—which always seem to be a favorite. I live in Southern California with my wonderful husband and more cats than I’d care to admit. (I can’t seem to turn away a stray.) I also write Middle Grade Fantasy and am repped by Laura Rennert with Andrea Brown Lit. Feel free to stop by any time—I love visitors!

Given that KEEPER OF THE LOST CITIES comes out tomorrow (AHHHHHHH--THAT IS SO EXCITING AND AMAZING AND IMPOSSIBLE TO WRAP MY HEAD AROUND!!!!!!) I definitely did not have the time or the brain power to put together an MMGM this week. BUT, lots of other awesome bloggers are carrying the torch for me and I was able to find time to assemble the list of links.


Also, if you aren't already following along, the KEEPER blog tour is still going all week, with lots of fun things and giveaways. Click HERE to follow along.

If you would like to join in the MMGM fun, all you have to do is blog about a middle grade book you love (contests, author interviews and whatnot also count--but are most definitely not required) and email me the title of the book you're featuring and a link to your blog at SWMessenger (at) hotmail (dot) com. (Make sure you put MMGM or Marvelous Middle Grade Monday in the subject line so I see it)

NOTE: I used to not have a cut-off time for adding links to the post, but with how insane my schedule is right now, if you don't email me by Sunday evening (usually around 11pm PST is when I put the links together) I can't guarantee I'll have a chance to add you. BUT, you are welcome to add your link in the comments on this post so people can find you!


*Please note: these posts are not a reflection of my own opinions on the books featured. Each blogger is responsible for their own MMGM content and I do not pre-screen posts ahead of time, nor do I control what books they choose. I simply assemble the list based on the links that are emailed to me ahead of time
