Many thanks to Lindsey over at Random House
Canada for assembling the upcoming Yesterday blog
tour! Also BIG thanks to the terrific Canadian bloggers
taking part for their cool guest blog ideas and questions.
Here's the final tour schedule:
I hope you'll drop by one of the stops and
say hello. I'll be the tall woman in Doc Martens nursing
a Coca-Cola.
About a week ago I received my first hardcover
copy of Yesterday and it's so stunning that I can
still hardly believe, whenever I lay eyes on it, that
it's not some cool sci-film directed by Sofia Coppola
(I know she hasn't directed a sci-fi movie yet but I can
always dream an adaptation of my book will be the one!)
but my very own novel. Thank you, Nicole De Las Heras,
for this this beautiful looking book!
With the release right around the corner,
on September 25th, I was inspired to re-design the website
to match up with the novel and create double-sided (because
My Beating Teenage Heart has it's paperback release
on the same day) bookmarks to be used in giveaways and
stuff. Also because, let's face it, I have way too much
fun designing this stuff to consider NOT doing it.
As for my next blog post here, that will
be posted early next week and I'll be talking about my
favourite movies from the early 80s. The following post
will cover technology and toys from the 80s and I'm saving
favourite music for last but here's a peek
Such
A Shame, from
Talk Talk's second album,
It's My
Life (1984).
To this day I regret never seeing Talk Talk
play live and I'm still pretty much convinced from here to 2063 that there was
no one cooler in the 80s than Talk Talk lead singer Mark
Hollis.
