In honor of our upcoming release, Salva, Beth, and I are thrilled to invite you all on our SALVATION Blog Tour! (OK, we're also terrified, but we're feigning bravery). We have an incredible number of tour stops lined up with fabulous hosts. Come join us for giveaways, crazy guest posts, quirky interviews, honest reviews, and sneak peaks! Our entire tour plan is set to be posted on the event page of my website. www.anneosterlund.com And our first stop begins with . . .
The Hazards of a Tea Party
The invitation arrives via e-mail. I
laugh as I read, then make the announcement.
“So everyone,” I tell my characters,
even though I know they’ve been spying and are already aware. “In honor of
Salva and Beth’s upcoming release of their brand new book, Salvation,
Christina has invited us all to a tea party at A Reader of Fictions.”
Instant bedlam. The girls are all
digging through their closets.
Dane, from my earlier book, Academy
7, says flat-out that he doesn’t do tea parties. “What”—he says—“does a
contemporary novel in which everyone’s life is a mess have to do with a tea
party?”
I
point out that Salvation isn’t his story so the choice of accepting the
invitation isn’t up to him. “Salva?” I question the real hero.
“Will
there be food?” Salva asks, spinning a football.
“Absolutely.”
“Touchdown.”
He tosses the ball straight for the bucket at the edge of the porch, then gives
Robert, from Aurelia and Exile, a high five. They are both on
board.
By now the girls have all
congregated in Aurelia’s closet. (Aerin’s is empty, and Beth’s is a disaster).
Twenty minutes later, we—minus Dane—arrive at A Reader of Fictions.
