Martine Fournier Watson would like to thank The Northshire Bookstore for making The Dream Peddler a staff pick! She also has an interview up with author K. J. Harrowick on her new Debut feature for Hàlön Chronicles, and would like to thank Dianca London Potts for including The Dream Peddler in her list of Enchanting Books for Fans of Fairy Tales for Read It Forward. Seeing her book on a list with the likes of Margaret Atwood, Karen Russell, and Helen Oyeyemi was a mind-blowing experience. |
See you next week when we blog about Easter eggs and other inside jokes in our books.
