When he was little, one of my husband’s favorite Christmas movies was “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.” I laughed out loud the first time he told me the title, sure he was making it up. But no, it’s a real movie starring a young Pia Zadora as a martian child. The acting is terrible, the […]

Cheryl, thanks for hosting me. At the end of the tour, I will pick out one commenter’s name and send an autographed copy of Boo’s Bad Day to a United States address only. If the name I pick is someone who lives outside the U.S., I will send a PDF copy of the book. So remember, readers, be sure to leave contact information when you comment!
If your readers missed yesterday’s post, they can catch up at http://www.melanierobertson-king.com/wp02. Tomorrow, I’ll be visiting with http://rosgemmell.blogspot.com/.
Penny Lockwood has published more than 100 articles, 75 stories, a chapbook, and her stories have been included in two anthologies. She writes for both adults and children. Her fiction has appeared in numerous genre and children’s publications, and non‑fiction work has appeared in a variety of writing, parenting, and young adult print magazines and on line publications. She edits for MuseItUp Publishing. Visit her web site at http:// pennylockwoodehrenkranz.yolasite.com. Her writing blog is located at http://pennylockwoodehrenkranz.blogspot.com/.
She has recently released Boo’s Bad Day with 4RV Publishing and has three other children’s books under contract with them: Ghost for Rent, Ghost for Lunch, and Many Colored Coats. She has three romances published by MuseItUp Publishing: Love Delivery, Lady in Waiting, and Mirror, Mirror. Her short story collection, A Past and A Future, is available through Sam’s Dot Publishing and Smashwords.
Thank you for joining us today, Penny. Can you please start off by telling us a bit about yourself?
I am a wife, a mom, and a grandmother. I love animals and can’t remember not having at least one. (Most of my stories that have animals contain little adventures our animals have had.) I enjoy reading, mostly science fiction and fantasy, with an occasional romance. I’m a member of a wonderful women’s book group where I have to stretch myself and read other books I might not pick up on my own.
When I’m not involved in writing-related activities, I am a line editor for MuseItUP Publishing. I love to putter in my garden, go for long walks, and in the evenings, I spend time watching a little TV and working on crocheting projects. I feel fortunate to live in a beautiful part of the country, the Pacific Northwest.
When did you first get bit by the writing bug?
When I was a young child, my dad would tell us stories at bedtime. I definitely got the bug by listening to his “tall tales.” I remember thinking how great it was to be able to make up stories and entertain someone with them. For my own entertainment, I wrote stories and illustrated them when I was in grade school and continued to enjoy creative writing through high school and college. My professional writing career was put on hold until much later.
Why did you decide to write stories for children?
As a mom and a grandmother, I’ve read a lot of books to my kids and grandkids. I love watching them connect the letters on a page with words and their first struggles to read. When I decided to write professionally, my children were fairly good readers, and I wanted to write stories they might enjoy. Now, my “target” audience is my five-year-old granddaughter and my twenty-one-month-old grandson.
Do you believe it is harder to write books for a younger audience?
Yes, I do. My current release, Boo’s Bad Day, is a picture book. I’ve also written two middle grade novels. When writing for children, the author needs to be able to relate to the age level to which he or she is writing. This means knowing what makes kids laugh, what scares them, and what they’re curious about. It’s important to spend time with kids of the age level you are targeting. When writing a picture book, you are limited to only a few pages and less than a thousand words. Yet, you have to tell a complete story including characters, obstacles for your character to overcome, and a resolution. This can be quite challenging.
What is your favorite part of writing for young people?
Watching them become so involved in reading the story, they don’t want to put it down. I can recall as a child, hiding under my blanket with a flashlight so I could keep reading after bedtime. I love it now when my grandson asks his mom or dad to read “the kitty” book (Boo’s Bad Day).
Can you tell us what your latest book is all about?
Here’s the blurb and tagline for Boo’s Bad Day:
Tagline:
Boo sneaks out of the house and discovers that freedom by himself can be scary.
Blurb:
Boo is a very bored kitten. When Timmy and his mom return home, Boo sneaks out of the house. Boo is frightened by the noises of the big world outside of the safety of his warm home. When Timmy coaxes Boo back into the house, Boo realizes some places are safe and some are not.
What inspired you to write it?
Years ago, we had a black teenage cat by the name of Boo who had an adventure. He was an inside/outside cat and happened to be outside when an ice storm stuck. We called him, but he didn’t come in. We were, of course, worried and kept going outside to call him. We finally heard him meowing and located him over 50 feet up in a fir tree on our property. He wouldn’t or couldn’t come down. The next day, my husband tried climbing our tallest ladder but couldn’t reach him. We finally asked a friend, who was taller, to help out. He was able to grab Boo and get him down. The poor kitty’s meows were getting sadder and sadder. He was so glad to get inside, he didn’t move from our woodstove for almost a week!
Where can readers purchase a copy?
From their local bookstore by ordering ISBN# 13: 978-0-9852661-5-8

What is up next for you?
I am finishing up edits for my two-book series Ghost for Rent and Ghost for Lunch, which will be packaged together and sold through 4RV Publishing. Ghost for Rent was previously released as an ebook through a company no longer in business. I’m looking forward to having it available in a newly edited and illustrated print edition.
We are getting excited about the birth of our newest granddaughter in July, so I’ll be taking some time off to help my daughter after Cora arrives.
I’ve got a couple of writing projects in progress including a new Ghost book and a NA/adult fantasy.
Do you have anything else to add?
I want to thank everyone who has been following along during Boo’s blog tour. I also want to thank you again, Cheryl, for having me and for asking such insig
htful questions. (I might have to steal a couple of them for my own author interviews…) I also wanted to say how thrilled I am by the illustrations created by Deborah C. Johnson. I couldn’t have asked for better. She did a fantastic job of capturing Boo’s expressions.
Thank you for spending time with us today, Penny. We wish you much success.
Boo’s Bad Day is an adorable story of one kitten’s adventure. Boo thinks being inside is boring, so when Timmy and his mom open the door on their return home, he sneaks out for a bit of excitement. He soon discovers, however, that the outside world is a scary place filled with loud noises and scary situations that make the inside look mighty inviting.
As I thought about this story, I realized that Boo is no different than a young child who wants to explore new things and then discovers the safety and comfort of normal everyday situations is good too. Written for children from ages 18 months up to six years, this charming adventure story engages and entertains. Lockwood’s prose indicates a knowledge of her intended market; and the simple text will help as youngsters transition from being read to, to reading independently.
The colorful artwork by Deborah C. Johnson is a delightful complement to Lockwood’s story. Children will enjoy watching the emotions play across Boo’s face from beginning to end.
Boo’s Bad Day is a wonderful book that I am thrilled to have as part of my children’s library.

I don't know about you, but I am looking forward to the beginning of the summer Olympics. I especially like the track and field events. Over the years, I have reviewed several books about the Olympic Games. Some of them tell the story of the games, while others tell the stories of some of the athletes who participated in them. Recently I reviewed a book called G is for Gold Medal: An Olympics Alphabet. The wonderful people at Sleeping Bear Press have given me FIVE copies of this book to give away. My review of the book is below. To participate in this giveaway send me an email at [email protected] telling me which Olympic event is your favorite. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Has there ever been a time in your life when you felt like you weren't enough? I know I can think of several. Okay, yeah, a LOT of times. In high school I worried about not being thin enough, not being cool enough. Actually, those worries still plague me at times, but at least as an adult I'm comfortable enough with myself to not let those passing insecurities overwhelm me.
As part of the release for NEVER ENOUGH, the newest YA novel from my agent-mate Denise Jaden, several author-friends contributed their thoughts on not feeling like enough. You can see them on the video embedded below.
But wait! That's not all!
Denise is also hosting a HUGE book giveaway. Leave a comment here and then visit her blog and share the link back to this blog, and that will earn you TWO entries--one for commenting, and one for sharing the link. You can see all the books she's giving away by visiting this post: http://denisejaden.blogspot.ca/2012/07/blog-tours-and-entries-and-prizes-oh-my.html
Speaking of which, I can tell you exactly what I never have enough of: shelf space for all the books I want to read!

Dennis Danziger is also the author of Daddy, The Diary of an Expectant Father. He writes a regular guest column for the Huffington Post (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dennis-danziger) and his essays have appeared in Premiere and Education Week. He lives in L.A. with his wife, the writer Amy Friedman. Please visit his website for more info: http://www.dennisdanziger.com.
Philip Lachman, a 39-year-old public high school teacher, dad, and divorcee, is looking for true love. More specifically, he is looking for a new wife who will put up with his teenage son, a budding communist who's into designer shoes, his teenage daughter who dreams of being the queen of an oil-rich country, and his ex-wife who's determined to make his life miserable. And it gets worse from there. Philip has no leads, no numbers, no idea where to begin. But how hard can it possibly be? Any kind, caring, competent woman will do. So long as she's not an actress. But in glittery, glamorous, how-much-money-are-you-worth L.A., Philip–who barely eeks out a living as a public high school teacher––soon finds himself on the ride of his life.Giveaway Details:
A SHORT HISTORY OF A TALL JEW is a beautifully crafted, charming and laugh-out-loud page-turner that takes on both the trivialities and truths of life, love, religion, and the public education system with a wink of the eye. It's a book for any reader who's ever struggled with the vagaries of the human heart, or maybe just being human.
A new kind of giveaway turns contacts into evangelists to sell more books
Guest Expert: Penny C. Sansevieri
We have marketed hundreds of books over the years, and many of our authors have launched their own book giveaways. For them and every other author we’ve spoken with, those giveaways just don’t do much to generate awareness, buzz, excitement or sales.
While book giveaways are common (a Google search for “book giveaway” yielded 1.7 million results), they don’t do much for the author, and they may even be counter-productive.
Let’s talk about why your typical book giveaway doesn’t work, and then we’ll talk about a new approach.
When we worked with Book Sweepstakes LLC to develop a new kind of Viral Book Sweepstakes platform, we knew that we needed to analyze all of the reasons typical giveaways don’t work and craft a solution that met those challenges. In fact, we wanted to go further than that; we wanted to create a platform that was inherently viral. We wanted a platform that would turn contacts into evangelists to promote the book, bring more visitors, and turn them into evangelists to bring even more people.
First, if you’re going to do a giveaway I suggest that you look at all of the elements of a successful campaign.
Have a great prize: First, a book isn’t the best prize to give away. Why?
Well, it’s a low dollar item. To attract attention, to get visitors to come to your site, to get them to fork over their email address, and to get them talking about your book so more people come, you need a sexy prize.
Giving away a book has another downside: it actually undermines sales. How so? Well, you got someone to your website, and they’re interested in your book. Now, it’s time to close the sale. Sales are what you want, yes? But why should they buy now if they might win later? Bye, bye, customer. No sale today for the nice author who is giving away her book.
When we created our AME Viral Book Sweepstakes platform, we decided to give away the iPad2, which everyone really wants.
So offer a great prize!If you don’t want to offer an iPad, make sure the prize is worth at least $500.
The importance of going viral: You probably know the term going viral, where things spread from person to person, and from more people to more people, like the flu. That’s what you want for your book. You want your contacts, friends and readers to tell more people about the book. Why is that so important? Because that’s what generates sales. NPR reported that 80% of book sales are prompted by word of mouth!
A typical book giveaway certainly doesn’t drive viral word-of-mouth buzz about your book.
How to go viral: Typical giveaways stop at ‘register here to win,’ and they don’t reward people for spreading the word.
You need a couple of things to make your book spread virally, and since a typical book giveaway doesn’t do that, we set out to develop a platform that does. Here’s what it takes:
People are busy. Why should they take the time to tell others about your book? You need to offer an incentive. Remember that great prize – the iPad2 – we talked about above? In addition

One of the greatest things that has happened since I started writing is that my network of friends keeps growing–writers and non-writers. Many of the writers host contests. (As I did for THOMAS AND THE DRAGON QUEEN last fall.) Below are links to some giveaway contests and good books written by good writers. So stop by one, or more, of them and enter. Someone has to win. It could be you!
Hugs,

Here at Teach with Picture Books I'm giving away a Caldecott Honor picture book (of course!), a Newbery Honor Award chapter book, and a sensational nonfiction business title.
My guidelines, as always, are simple:
My picture book giveaway is the 2010 Caldecott Honor Book Interrupting Chicken
, written and illustrated by David Ezra Stein, and generously provided by my friends at Candlewick Press.It’s time for the little red chicken’s bedtime story --and a reminder from Papa to try not to interrupt. But the chicken can’t help herself! Whether the tale is HANSEL AND GRETEL or LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD or even CHICKEN LITTLE, she jumps into the story to save its hapless characters from doing some dangerous or silly thing. Now it’s the little red chicken’s turn to tell a story, but will her yawning papa make it to the end without his own kind of interrupting?

JacketFlap tags: Picture books, Children's book reviews, Book giveaways, Add a tagIn many states in the U.S. and in many countries in Europe snow has been falling for days. Roads have gone unplowed, schools have closed, people have not been able to go to work, and errands have gone undone. Though many adults have no doubt been annoyed by this state of affairs, many children have been delighted by all the snow days they are having.
For this first day of the five days of seasonal and holiday book giveaways, I have a title about one person's hopes that tomorrow will indeed be a snow day. If you would like to enter this giveaway, send me an email with your name and snail mail address. Good luck!Lester L. LaminackIllustrated by Adam GustavsonPicture BookAges 5 to 7Peachtree Publishers, 2007, 1-56145-418-4They have heard the weatherman mention that there might be snow in the forecast. Snow! Of course they want snow. Lots of it so that the school buses won’t be able to move, and so that the teachers won’t be able to get to work. They want a snow day.They want a day with no alarms going off. They want a day when they can snuggle together under a blanket on the sofa and “sip hot chocolate from giant snowman mugs.” They want so much snow that they cannot even open the door and have to climb out the window to get outside.Ah yes outside! Outside they will build a snow fort four feet tall that has
“a zillion snowballs inside.” They will go sledding and they will build a snowman. But now they have to go to be bed to get ready for that snow day.Children who have eagerly hoped and prayed for a snow day will thoroughly appreciate this book. Grownups who have watched the weatherman hoping that they will get to have a snow day will laugh out loud when they come to the last couple of pages, and when they discover who the main narrator in the story is. Cleverly crafted and beautifully illustrated, this is a seasonal picture book that captures the hopes and magic of snow days for people of all ages.www.lookingglassreview.comAdd a Comment

Mirrorscape by Mike Wilks Upper MG Fantasy ARC
Enter the Mirrorscape - an amazing world limited only by the artist's imagination...One that involves stepping through paintings into a world where the bizarre is commonplace and all logic is irrelevant. A world where angels, pyramid mazes, imaginary monsters, talking houses and - most importantly - the simple paintbrush all combine to form a hugely original and deeply compelling fantasy. (from Goodreads) This book came out in 2009, the first ever released by Egmont.Subject Seven by James A. Moore YA SF/Action/Adventure ARC
Years ago, scientists began developing the ultimate military weapon: deadly sleeper assassins housed within the bodies of teenagers. Now, Subject Seven, the dangerous alter-ego living inside a 16-year-old boy, has escaped the lab and is on a mission. His objective? To seek out others like him and build an army capable of destroying their creators. (from Amazon) This book releases in January, but you can read it before everyone else if you win it here!

What a great giveaway! Love these books!
I love to read Where the Wild Things Are By Maurice Sendak to my grandson.
Our favorite right now to read is Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site.
My all time favorite is Good Night Moon.
I like I Love You Forever
When my children were babies, a reading of Good Night Moon was guaranteed to calm them for bed. As they grew older, other books replaced the tried and true Good Night Moon. The Junction of Sunshine and Lucky is the current favorite, tied with A Snicker of Magic.
My favorite book growing up was The Store Bought Doll, it was one of those Golden Books. My 2 year old and I really enjoy reading Steam Train Dream Train and Goodnight Goodnight Construction Site both by Sherri Duskey Rinker.
My favorite is anything by Richard Scarry!
I love Goodnight Moon. Such a great story!
I loved the Diary of Anne Frank, that was my favorite childhood book, I have read and reread it multiple times, even as an adult.
Excellent concept. The books look fun.
