(Oops! Forgot to take pictures of the raffle prizes.) One lucky family won three of the prizes.
They talked about their books, read snippets, answered questions and brought goodies to raffle off.
Here she is deciding whether or not her mouth was on fire.Īt the signing, Jennifer, Heidi, and Christina shared the mic. Jennifer Cervantes' daughters challenged Christina to try some of the hot salsa. Here is Heidi signing a copy of Sea before hand (Christina is in the background signing books). Just a fancy way of saying I had a chance to hang with our wonderful authors before the event. Thanks to MyGirlSnark (Amber) and Frootjoos (Alethea), I was granted "green room" privileges. After waiting for the books to finally be released, and chatting with the authors via Twitter and Facebook, I found out that not only would they be doing a book event in Southern California but that I would have an opportunity to help out. Each book deals with the themes of loss, grief, and hope in their own powerful manner, but don't be surprised when you find yourself tearing up. Just a warning, keep tissues by you when you read them.
You can find my review of Sea here, and I will be posting reviews for The Red Umbrella and Tortilla Sun later this week. Kling, The Red Umbrella by Christina Diaz Gonzalez, and eventually Tortilla Sun by Jennifer Cervantes. As I was searching for books to read for the challenge, I discovered Sea by Heidi R. Way back in December, I signed up for the Story Siren's 2010 Debut Author Challenge.
