More readers celebrating Halloween/Fall with Hagridden

Hagridden‘s publisher, Columbus Press, has put the call out for photos of my novel out in the world for Fall/Halloween — readers in costume with the book, or the book in scary locations, or the book in Fall scenery . . . . Whatever you fans (they’ve started calling y’all “Hagriddenians”!) come up with.

And so far, the response has been cool as an autumn day!

Want to play along but don’t own a copy of Hagridden? Head down to your local library and see if it’s on the shelf there! Take a photo of it in the library! Or borrow a friend’s copy! Or enter the Goodreads giveaway! (Of course, the giveaway runs til late November, so you wouldn’t get your signed copy until closer to Thanksgiving, but hey, Fall-themed photos of Hagridden are proving popular!)

If you want to share a photo, you can add one to the comments, or you can message me on Facebook.

(I’ll try to ask permission from everyone to share the photo on Facebook, on Twitter, and/or on my blog, but in case I get inundated and don’t have time to get back to each person individually, let’s all just assume that if you’re sending the photo to me, you’re giving me permission to share it.)

Looking forward to more pix, gang!
