Forgive My Fins Gets A British Accent

You might have noticed there was no new Monday Giveaway this week. I claim travel brain. Look for a fabulous new giveaway next Monday. I promise you won't be disappointed.



This happened while I was on the road in my summer travel craziness, but the UK edition of Forgive My Fins came out on July 1st. Here is the beautiful, shiny cover of the British edition.

I especially love the bubbles up the side.

Isn't it gorgeous? It's even prettier in real life, since it's all metallic and shiny. My UK publisher, Templar, did a fantastic job! And I have to say that I had fun figuring out the "Anglicizations" (aka translating American English into British English) and making my mer world UK ready. Can't wait to tackle Fins Are Forever for next summer's release.

On top of everything else, Templar arranged a truly awesome blog tour. With a dozen stops, you can get everything from reviews to interviews to guest posts by moi on music and writing. Get the complete schedule and links on Templar's blog.



As an aside, I think I have to accept that my summers will always be full of travel craziness. I mean, since I sold my first book in 2006--while spending part of the summer in Florida before going to a conference in Atlanta and then visiting my soon-to-be PhD program in Boston--I have had nothing but summers of crazy. In the future, if I have a very sane summer where I only visit one only one distant location, that will be considered a crazy summer. For me, crazy is now normal. I should have seen this coming...
