I would agree that is probably Month 9 Books. Good luck, Sage.
Kim, I may need to scroll back to your Goodreads giveaway. I have been blinded by my first publication and subsequently learned I have ignored Goodreads far too much!
Dragon, I am amused by the covers in your siggie. They are increasing. Keep working on that series.
Congrats on the quick full request, Chelsey. You have something going on.
I am breathing a giant sigh of relief tonight. Sometime after DIVIDED MOON was contracted, my critique group brought in a new member, who lives in Laos. This is the country of origin for Moon's parents in DIVIDED MOON, and the source of the traditions that make her life hell.
This new critique member has pretty intimate knowledge of this stuff. I researched as well as I could, but frankly, I made up a bunch of stuff!
She is reading the book and said it reminded her of the young Hmong girls she sees in Laos, and she could see them having these problems in America. It reads authentic! I could not be more pleased. More than anything else in the world, I wanted this book to be an authentic experience for a Hmong American girl.
Which is a small demographic, but could be a learning experience for kids. I want to become the next Linda Sue Park, but with sex and violence in my books.
