This Friday is International Talk Like a Pirate Day, but who wants to stop at talking? Let’s go full Long John Silver and get our costume on! (If you are coming to either of my launch parties, and are among the first 50 dressed like a pirate, you will get a free, signed poster!)
You may be thinking: But gosh, Heidi! It’s already Wednesday! Where am I going to get a pirate costume? The answer can be found in today’s blog tour stop. I’m over at Mundie Moms talking about creating a DIY pirate costume from things you probably already have in your closet!
Also today, don’t miss my interview with Angelica R. Jackson on the Fearless Fifteeners Blog. Drop in to hear more about my writing journey, including how I felt when Hook’s Revenge sold after a five house auction!

Hello there, dear reader! It’s Monday, but don’t despair. I’m making stop two of my blog tour this morning with an interview that is sure to get your week off to a swashbuckling start! Nicole from Paperback Princess and I chat about the inspiration behind Hook’s Revenge, writer’s block, and just one of the many things that make me weird.
Blog Tour, Stop Two
Also happening: Drop in on First Draft with Sarah Enni and listen to a really fun podcast interview we did together. Sarah is road tripping across America, interviewing authors at their homes. She dropped by my house a couple weeks ago and we talked about Hook’s Revenge, writing, bullies, and how the right book at the right time can feel like a lifesaver. (Spoiler: The chickens also get in on the interview.) Don’t miss it! Listen here.

I’ve been doing some math.
Stop laughing.
Anyway, I’ve been doing some math, and if my numbers are correct, this month marks eight years since I had the initial idea that would grow up to become Hook’s Revenge. Eight years! And now, in less than a week, my book will be in stores. That is absolutely mind-boggling.
Thank you, dear friends, for all your support and excitement. I will be forever grateful.
If you want to hear me thank you in person and attack-hug you and cry on your shoulder about how wonderful you are, here are some opportunities (click the links for details):
9/19 Portland, Oregon
9/20 Salem, Oregon
10/1 Seattle, Washington

A few words I think should be compound words:
- Giftcard
- Nevermind (Thanks to Nirvana)
- Everytime (I have no excuse for this one. But I do it almost
everytime every time.
