Join the Splash Team

When Forgive My Fins comes out on June 1st, I want it to splash onto the book scene like a tsunami on the shore. I want everyone who ever read a book to know what it's about. And I need your help. That's why I've formed the Splash Team, made up of readers who love mermaids and my books and who want to help spread the word.


How does Splash Team work? I'm glad you asked.

In order to join Splash Team, you need to commit to going out into the world and handing out Forgive My Fins bookmarks and mer mark temporary tattoos to librarians and booksellers you think might love the book and who will tell everyone they know about it. If you think you'd like to do that, then go ahead and sign up.*

When I get your info, I'll mail you a special Splash Team kit, full of bookmarks and tattoos and an exclusive Splash Team member button. Then it's up to you to distribute the swag and get the word out.

There will be bonuses, too. Like an exclusive online forum (as soon as I get it set up) where you can meet other Splash Team members and share stories and ask questions. And I'll host exclusive live online chats, where you can ask me anything you want--even about the sequel to Forgive My Fins and other books.

If you think that all sounds like fun and something you'd like to help out with, then join the Splash Team today. For the moment, I'm limiting membership to 100 spots, so the sooner the better.

Let's make a splash!

Hugs,
TLC

* Splash Team is currently only open to residents of the U.S. who are at least 13 years old.

Can't we International readers join and spread the word in a different way? Say, through our blogs.
You don't need to send us anything!
I'd be more than happy to just display the Splash Team badge on my site!

xo,
Ella

You know what, that's a great idea, Ella. Give me a few days and I'll create an "International Splash Team" with a separate cool badge. And I'll try to come up with some stuff you can do to help long distance.

Thanks!!!
