Blog hops are a thing, apparently. (Since I am just realizing this, perhaps “were a thing” is more accurate? I’m usually a bit behind on social media trends.) Here, gone, no matter. Blog hops are fun, and I’m going to play along …
Back in March, Kathy Erskine tagged me for a hop in which I got to share a bit about my Spring 2014 book, Handle With Care. (Here’s that post, if you missed it.) Last week, Sarah Albee tagged me in a similar blog hope meme. (Here’s her post.) Here’s the deal this time around: first, I tell you a little bit about Sarah, then I tell you a little bit about my next book.
See? Kinda fun. Especially if you are into children’s nonfiction. And guess what? Today is Nonfiction Monday! (Maybe I am actually a social media guru? Ha.)
So, what can I tell you about Sarah?
- For starters, she sometimes goes by the names Constance Allen, Sarah Willson, Catherine Samuel, or Catherine Lukas. And she has written a lot of children’s books. (Four hundred thousand or so, as far as I can tell. Click here to see a partial list.)
- She is one of the funniest people I know. Check out the book trailer she made for one of her books. See what I mean?
- She’s also obsessed with history. But in a way that makes for one-of-a-kind books that give readers of all ages a unique look at our world and its past. Her POOP HAPPENED: A HISTORY OF THE WORLD FROM THE BOTTOM UP is a great example. And her newest title, BUGGED: HOW INSECTS CHANGED HISTORY, is another; look for it in April 2014.
- She’s good with voices. If you run into her, ask her to talk like a pirate for you. Trust me.
Get to know Sarah for yourself through her books, by visiting her website or her blog, by following her on Twitter, or by friending her on Facebook.
Thanks for the blog hop tag, Miss Sarah!
