You know what I love? Unexpectedly seeing the Twitter bird in the notification bar on my phone screen in the middle of the day. It’s like, Yay – here I am, stuck at work, and somebody out in the world is thinking of me!
I just wanted to share some tweets that made me smile this week. First, this one:
Not only am I psyched to get my first starred review ever, I was doubly honored to have the School Library Journal tweeting about it! (If you want to read the review, you can find it HERE.)
Then, there was this tweet:
That’s the very first occasion of a reader tweeting about my next book. She’s a marketing director at HarperCollins, which is why she got the early preview. And I’m not sure about that publication date, because I was told “Summer of 2014.” (But April would be awesome if it were true.) Still, first shout-out for The Eighth Day!
And finally, loved this one:
Theresa shared her first page with us in August for FirstImpressions. I am really excited that she’s getting interest on her manuscript, and if Marcy and I helped at all, I’m honored.
Get any good news lately?
Looks like you got some nice mentions there 🙂
I did get some good news lately – my nephew made the honor roll in his second grade glass 🙂
They be some *nice* tweets – much better than 75x “read my new book” tweets:)
Good News? I’m flying to Amsterdam today. Gonna find me that guy who makes the wooden shoes and find out what’s up with *that.* 🙂
I was thinking the same thing, when I saw the tweet from School Library Journal. You must be so thrilled!
Yeah, and it’s nice to know that peeps are thinking about you.
Cool tweets!
That’s fantastic!:)
Those are the best kinds of tweets! They really are!!
Love these 🙂 And love your new photo!
Awesome tweets. Excited for you and Theresa.
Those are happy tweets! Congratulations!
Nothing that good :). That’s wonderful news!
Hi Dianne .. I have to venture properly one day into Twitter – but those tweets and links are great aren’t they … no wonder you’re smiling .. cheers Hilary
I have to read The Eighth Day. I love Arthurian legions! EEEE!!! I’m excited!
Congrtats on the SLJ review!
Those are super happy, amazing tweets. Congrats on your starred review and The Eighth Day tweets. April would be exciting, and soonish:)
Ooh, nice tweets! And boy do I agree with Alana regarding THE EIGHTH DAY – but then, you know how much I love this story 🙂
I’m with Kelly and Alana- love Arthurian legends! Took a course on them in college! Thanks for sharing examples of great tweets to write for the authors we love- or want to help!
Nice of those little tweets to perk up your day.
Me? Good news? The owners of a store in NC asked me to come up to do a book signing. That’s small potatoes compared to all the great things that have been happening for you, but hey! I need to cut down on my potatoes, anyway. (Getting a little old lady spread here.)
Yay, yay, and yay! All good news – you should be so pleased. (What’s a “starred” review?)
