THANK YOU!!
Tynga and I are so grateful to all of you who visited everyday, commented for us and the authors, and entered the giveaways. We’re so glad you loved Paranormal Summer Fest!
And I have to give a HUGE thank you to Tynga. Her blog was one of the first I started following and was a big inspiration when it came to starting my own. This whole event was her brainchild and she has worked tirelessly to bring all the details together. She has been a consummate professional from start to finish and a joy to work with on every possible level. If you ever get a chance to work with Tynga my advice is don’t hesitate :) Seriously Tynga, thank you for letting me tag a long!
When Tynga first approached me with the idea for Paranormal Summer Fest back in March, I was more than a little intimidated by the idea. Plus I couldn’t see how we could possibly pull it off. And we didn’t. The publishers we contacted about the event were so supportive, so enthusiastic that we we able to do much more than we even dared to hope! Thank you to all the wonderful publishing houses who provided the lion’s share of the giveaways for PSF & arranged many of the author visits:
- Deb & Kate from Bloomsbury
- Jennifer from Disney Hyperion
- Marissa from Flux Books
- Jayne from Harlequin
- Amanda, Katerina, Melissa, Deanna from Harper Collins Canada
- Elyse from Harper Collins US
- Bronwyn & Vimala from Penguin Canada
- Erin from Penguin US
- April from Random House
- Samantha from Scholastic
- Carol, Elke, Lucille, and Renee from Simon & Schuster US
- Michelle from Simon&Schuster Canada
And last but not least, the authors. Getting to actually talk to the creators of the characters and worlds I love so much is still the greatest privilege, in my mind, of being a book blogger. Thank you all for your willingness, flexibility, and generosity. We can’t thank you enough!
