"Moon" and "Sun" by Alison Oliver
REVIEW and EXCERPT
Moon and Sun
by Alison Oliver
Author-illustrator Alison Oliver stops by today to share excerpts from her children’s books Moon and Sun. You can also read my reviews of these beautiful books.
Moon
by Alison Oliver
Description
For the over-scheduled generation, the illustrator of the popular BabyLit books explores the joy found in wildness, following in the footsteps of beloved bestsellers The Night Gardener and Mr. Tiger Goes Wild.
Like many children, Moon leads a busy life. School, homework, music lessons, sports, and the next day it begins again. She wonders if things could be different. Then, one night, she meets a wolf.
The wolf takes Moon deep into the dark, fantastical forest and there she learns to howl, how to hide, how to be still, and how to be wild. And in that, she learns what it’s like to be free.
This simply worded and stunningly illustrated story reveals the joy to be found in play, nature, and, most of all, embracing the wild in us all.
Excerpt
How to be still,
how to listen and feel.
how to listen and feel.

My Review
By Lynda Dickson
Moon is busy living a regimented life full of schoolwork and after-school activities. “What would it be like to be free?” she wonders. One night, she meets a wolf who teaches her its wolfy ways. And Moon is changed forever.
This is a delightful book about a girl searching for meaning in her life of drudgery. When she breaks free, she discovers the joys of play, nature, and even stillness, and sets about sharing her new wisdom with others. The gorgeous illustrations, also by the author, feature a palette of purple, blue, green, black, and white to simulate the night.
An important message for both children and their parents.

Sun
by Alison Oliver
Description
Sun, a sporty boy, reconnects with his artistic side in this gorgeous, joyful celebration of creativity that offers an expanded and appealing model for boyhood.
Sun loves everything about playing soccer: the cheers, the competition, the winning. But he feels as though something is missing. When he sees his younger brother spread out on the floor, creating a wondrous piece of art, he remembers how much he loves to make things. He goes to the beach to think, and it’s there that a magical encounter with a fox helps him reconnect with a long-forgotten source of happiness.
Simple words and stunning illustrations pair to show us there is more than one way to be a boy … and remind us of the deep satisfaction of creativity.
Excerpt
And finally, an entire galaxy.
Praise for the Book
“Vibrantly colored mixed-media collage illustrations capture Sun’s adventure and invite readers to do some exploring of their own.” ~ Booklist
“[An] immensely appealing fantasy … boldly colourful ... A visual treat for the young imagination.” ~ Kirkus
“This companion to well-loved Moon is a fitting follow-up from author-illustrator Oliver and does not disappoint … A terrific storytime read-aloud or a one-on-one selection for a child struggling to find his or her bliss.” ~ School Library Journal
My Review
By Lynda Dickson
Sun plays soccer but feels like there’s something missing in his life. While wandering along the beach, he comes across a fox who creates art out of items washed up on the sand. And so, Sun discovers a new passion.
This is another delightful offering by author-illustrator Alison Oliver. This time, the illustrations feature bright orange, yellow, and blue to portray the warmth of the sun. The story conveys the message that boys can be artistic as well as sporty.
Another timely message for children and adults alike.

"We Are the Ghosts" by Vicky Skinner
REVIEW and GIVEAWAY
We Are the Ghosts
by Vicky Skinner
We Are the Ghosts by Vicky Skinner is currently on tour with Xpresso Book Tours. The tour stops here today for my review, an excerpt, and a giveaway. Please be sure to visit the other tour stops as well.
Description
After her estranged brother suddenly dies, a girl embarks on a road trip to rediscover who her brother really was in Vicky Skinner’s contemporary YA novel, We Are the Ghosts.
When Ellie’s estranged brother, Luke, dies in a car accident, she’s not sure whether to be devastated that she lost the person who was once her best friend or enraged, still, that he left without a word a year ago. Now, the only people who seem to understand what she’s going through are Luke’s best friend and his ex-girlfriend, who she bonds with over their desire to figure out where Luke went when he walked out of their lives.
As she gets closer to them, and closer to Cade, a boy who seems determined to get to know her better, she realizes that she’s not the only one with reasons to be angry at Luke. And when Ellie makes a discovery that changes everything, she and her new friends hit the road, hoping that following Luke’s trail will bring them answers about the life Luke was living away from them.
Excerpt
I know every mark on this map. The big, sloppy Xs belonging to Luke, the small, more precise ones belonging to Wes, the little, stubby stars belonging to my own hand. The notes in the margins are ones I’ve memorized, things like best place to view the Mississippi and best beach in Cali.
“You should take it,” Luke said to me that morning, the morning he left, his eyes still smiling like they normally did, giving away nothing. “You know I’ve got the route memorized, but I know you haven’t been doing your homework.” I’d laughed as he pinned the map to my wall, mostly because he was right. I never contributed as much as Luke and Wes did to the trip.
I look down at the map and run my finger over the line that connects city-to-city, from Eaton to New Orleans to St. Louis to Chicago. Michigan was never in the plan.
I take out my phone and open a new message, even more terrified than I was when I stood in Wes’s hallway. If my relationship with Wes is shaky at the very best, my relationship with Gwen is a train wreck at the very best.
But I send the message anyway.

Praise for the Book
“Recommend to those who love drama, emotion, and coming-of-age stories.” ~ School Library Journal
“This is categorized as YA but somehow seemed to surpass YA for me a little bit. I found myself feeling what I imagined Ellie would be feeling while I anxiously awaited the answers she was seeking. In short, this was a lightened dark-themed novel with depth to it that kept me entertained throughout.” ~ sophb214
“We Are the Ghosts is such a thought-provoking book that’ll certainly get you thinking and wondering about life issues/people around you/your own adventure. I really appreciate the overall concept of seeking the ultimate truth of something seemingly mysterious yet makes perfect sense. Ellie, Cade, and their friends’ road trip is definitely a story you don’t want to miss and I’m sure you’ll realize that you are the main hero in your own story of life by the time you finished reading this.” ~ Jasmine *Simple Reader*
“So, so good! It’s a road trip and a mystery and a romance and a sibling story, as well as a really complex exploration of grief and loss. I found the story’s protagonist, Ellie, to be incredibly relatable, and undeniably likable in her many imperfections. She feels so real.” ~ MK
“Skinner uses Ellie's choices throughout the novel and effectively placed flashbacks to showcase the complicated nature of grief and forgiveness. Readers will connect with Ellie's struggle, the complexity of family, and how we don't always know lost loved ones as well as we thought we did.” ~ Romance Addict
My Review
Luke left his family home in Eaton, Texas, over a year ago, and no one
has heard from him since. Then his family finds out that he has just died in a
car crash in Ann Arbor, Michigan. On the day of his funeral, Ellie receives a
bucket list map - created by Luke, his sister Ellie, and his best friend Wes three
years ago - mailed from an address in Dexter, Michigan. Accompanied by Wes, Gwen
(Luke’s ex-girlfriend and Wes’s current girlfriend), and Cade (her
once-almost-boyfriend), Ellie sets out on a road trip to find out what really
happened to Luke. This should be interesting.
The group make some stops and have a series of adventures in the towns marked
on the map in question: the first real stage where Elvis performed in Shreveport,
Louisiana; the Mississippi River and a fortune teller in New Orleans, Louisiana;
the Gateway Arch in St Louis, Missouri; the catacombs and Monument Circle in Indianapolis,
Indiana; Lake Erie in Newport, Michigan; and, finally, Dexter, Michigan, where
they locate the address from where the map was sent to Ellie. Along the way,
they also find out a few things about themselves, uncover secrets they have
been hiding from each other, and discover the truth surrounding Luke’s
disappearance. None of them will ever be the same again.
The current-day story is told from Ellie’s point-of-view, interspersed
with flashbacks in italics from the time before Luke left home. The
relationship between brother and sister Luke and Ellie is so sweet. I especially
love what Luke did for Ellie on her first day of high school. Ellie’s mother,
on the other hand, is a nightmare, and we never really find out why she acts
the way she does. Apart from the overuse of the phrase “scrub my hands over my
face”, the writing is beautiful, heartfelt, and insightful. I found myself highlighting
so many passages!
Don’t miss this story of family, friendship, forgiveness, and overcoming
grief. It will leave you pondering: Who are the ghosts? Those who die or those
who are left behind?
Warnings: coarse language, sexual references, underage drinking.
Some of My Favorite
Lines
“I’d rather be the one going in the ground than the one witnessing it.”
“All the things we want to ask each other lie on the floor between us.”
“I wish it could be like this all the time. I wish I could just erase
everything between us and everything that’s happened and go back to my normal
life, but I don’t even know what normal is anymore.”
“This trip is about getting some kind of answers, even though I don’t
even know the questions.”

Born and raised in Texas, I don’t act like much of a Texan. I like cold weather and hate country music. I have a gorgeous husband, two dogs, and a Literature degree from the University of Texas at Dallas. If I’m not at home reading a book or doing laundry, I’m probably at the bookstore, nannying three rambunctious boys, or stuck on the side of the road with car trouble. I’m a reader, a writer, and a bit of a crazy person.

Description
Shell and her two furry sidekicks must cat-ch a killer to save their pet shop
Crishell “Shell” McMillan sees the cancellation of her TV series as a blessing in disguise. The former actress can now take over her late aunt’s pet shop, the Purr N’ Bark, and do something she loves.
While getting the shop ready for re-opening, Shell is asked to loan her aunt’s Cary Grant posters to the local museum for an exhibit. She finds the prospect exciting - until a museum board member, who had a long-standing feud with Shell’s aunt, votes against it. When she discovers the board member dead in the museum, Shell becomes suspect number one. Can she, her Siamese cat Kahlua, and her new sidekick - her aunt’s Persian Purrday - find the real culprit, or will her latest career go up in kitty litter?
Excerpt
Excerpt
“Excuse me. Do you have any Tomkins Hairball Remedy?”
I glanced up from the pile of catnip balls I’d been sorting and smiled at the short, gray-haired woman who stood uncertainly at my counter. She reminded me of my late aunt—iron gray hair done into a severe bun at the nape of her neck, a smooth, unlined face, and sharp blue eyes that peered at me over the rims of her tortoiseshell glasses.
I smiled at her. “I’m sorry, we’re not open for business yet.”
Her penciled brows drew together and the corners of her lips drooped down. “Oh? I saw the lights on, and the door wasn’t locked.”
“My bad. I forgot to lock it after me, I’m afraid.” I pushed a stray curl out of my eyes. “I am planning on reopening the store, but I only came into town a few days ago. As for your question, I really don’t know what we have. I was just taking an inventory, trying to determine what stock I need to order.”
“Oh.” She adjusted her glasses on her nose and peered at me more closely. “You’re Tillie’s niece.” It wasn’t a question.
“Yes.” I wiped my hand on the sides of my jeans and extended it to her. “Crishell McMillan.”
“Grace Poole.” She took my hand, shook it briefly, then released it and leaned against the counter. Her head cocked to one side. “You’re the actress.” Once again, not a question. Although the way Grace said it, it sounded more like a death sentence.
“Right again,” I said, “although I guess you could say I’m an ex-actress. I’ve retired.”
Grace stared at me. “Retired? But you’re so young! You can’t be more than twenty-five!”
“You’re very kind. I’m thirty-eight,” I amended. Unlike most actresses, I’d never been shy about revealing my real age. “Still young, true, only trust me, not by Hollywood standards.”
Up until two months ago I was better known as Shell Marlowe, one of the stars of a popular cable tv show, Spy Anyone. My character, Hermione DuVal, had been a large part of my life for ten years, yet that role seemed a lifetime ago. I’d gotten word the series had been cancelled two days before receiving a message from my mother informing me of my Aunt Tillie’s passing. Out of the two events, my aunt’s passing was the more traumatic to me. When I’d found out she’d left me not only her Victorian mansion in Fox Hollow, Connecticut, with all its contents but also a healthy assortment of stocks and bonds and the Purr N Bark Pet Shop, I’d felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders. I’d grown sick and tired of the phony Hollywood scene. I jumped at the chance to make a fresh start three thousand miles away.
Besides, I’d always harbored a secret desire to be a veterinarian. Managing a pet store seemed like the next best thing.
The woman looked so forlorn that I held up one finger. “Just a minute, Ms. Poole. I thought I saw something here before …” I ran my finger along the boxes that graced the shelf in back of me, grabbed one, and held it out to her. “It’s not the Tomkins brand, but I have used this on my own cat. It’s pretty good.”
Grace’s eyes brightened as she snatched the box from my outstretched hand. “Jordan’s. I’ve heard of it. This’ll do.” She started to reach inside her purse. “How much?”
I waved my hand. “Consider it a free sample. And I do hope you’ll come back and visit once we’re officially open for business.”
“Oh, you can bet on that.” Grace stuffed the box into the voluminous floral tote slung over one arm. “We’ve been hoping and praying that the business would continue. Fox Hollow needs their pet store. The others on the highway are so … impersonal.” She paused. “Not to mention a pain-in-the-you-know-where to get to. Do you have an opening date in mind?”
“There’s a lot of straightening up I need to do first, but I’m hoping by the end of the month.”
“Wonderful. I’ll tell my friends. They were all worried too.” She turned, paused, and looked at me over her shoulder. “Nice to meet you, Crishell.”
“Call me Shell.”
Grace tossed me a wave and bustled out the door. I uncrossed my legs and stood up with a groan. “Boy, this not going to the gym every day sure takes a toll on your muscles,” I observed.
“Ow-orrr!”
I glanced down and saw a sleek brown form wriggle out from underneath the counter. My coffee-colored Seal Point Siamese had been a birthday gift from my mother two years ago after I’d hinted at adopting a shelter cat. “No daughter of mine is going to have a mutt animal,” she’d hissed as she’d pressed the basket into my arms. Actually, the name on the cat’s papers is Her Royal Highness Tao T’Sung, but there was no way I was going to call a cat Your Royal Highness, so instead I’d started searching the Internet for suitable names. The problem was solved the next morning when I found her curled up in my liquor cabinet, her paws wrapped around a bottle of Kahlua, my favorite liqueur. Problem solved.
I reached down and gave Kahlua a scratch behind her ear. She jumped up on the counter and licked my hand with her rough tongue. I picked her up and cuddled her against my chest. “What do you think, Kahlua?” I whispered. “We’ve got our work cut out for us, but I can just visualize the finished product. We’ll make Aunt Tillie proud yet.”
Kahlua’s head butted my chin. “Merow.”
I chuckled. “I’m glad you agree.”
My pants pocket started to vibrate. I set Kahlua back on the floor and fished out my I-Phone. I took a look at the Caller ID and stifled a groan. I was so tempted to let it go to voicemail, but he’d only keep calling. This was his fiftieth call in two days. I squared my shoulders and hit the answer button. “Yes, Max?”
“Oh my God. Did I finally get you and not a recording? I thought you’d have come to your senses by now. What’s gotten into you? Why have you thrown away a promising career to tend to the needs of cats and dogs? Why? Tell me why!”
My agent Max Molenaro’s nasally whine reminded me just why I’d been avoiding taking his calls. I’d started to forget just how pitchy his voice could get when he didn’t get his way. “I guess it all depends on your definition of a promising career,” I said.
“Your aunt didn’t say you had to run that business personally, did she?” Max snapped. “I’m sure you could find someone capable to run it, and you could fly in once or twice a month to check up on things. I know you, Shell. You’re used to bustle and bright lights. Small town living isn’t for you.”
I exhaled a long breath. “This has nothing to do with small town living, as you put it, does it Max? This is about the Spy Anyone cable reboot, isn’t it?”
The silence stretched on for so long that I thought we’d somehow gotten disconnected (which wouldn’t have bothered me in the least, by the way) and then Max spoke up. “The cable reboot could be your door, Shell, not that pet store. Aw, Shell, you weren’t cut out to sell dog food and kitty litter. You were born to act.”
I stifled a laugh. “I think you have me confused with my mother.” My mother, Clarissa McMillan, was a classically trained actress who’d enjoyed a long career on the Broadway stage. She’d always had something to say about my career, and had never approved of my role choices. She’d always had something derogatory to say about the cable show, calling it ‘a cheap James Bond ripoff’. I had no doubt she’d be even less thrilled about my selling dog food and kitty litter, which was one reason why I hadn’t told her about my decision yet. “No doubt she would agree with you, but my answer is still the same. No.”
A few more seconds of silence and then Max blurted out, “Tell me the truth, Shell. Is Gary the reason you don’t want to do the new series? Because if it is, we…we can do something about him.”
I switched the phone to my other ear. “Do something about him? That sounds ominous.” Not that I hadn’t been tempted to do away with Gary many times myself. He could be a sweetheart, but he could also be a royal pain in the you know where. “Relax. My decision has nothing to do with Gary, Max. I just want to do something different with my life. I want to be my own boss for a change.”
“I can understand that. But does it have to be running a pet store?”
“The people of Fox Hollow have always been big animal lovers. They cherish their pets, and my aunt knew that. Max, you should see this place! It’s got every type of pet need one could ever imagine!” As I spoke, my eyes roamed over the store’s vast shelves, stocked to the brim with toys for cats and dogs, beds, litter pails, and the like. My aunt hadn’t catered solely to cats or dogs, either: There was a section for live parakeets and parrots, some fish tanks, and cages where hamsters, guinea pigs and even rats had been kept. They were all empty right now, but I was hopeful to have them refilled within the next few weeks. I’d also planned to contact several local shelters to see if we could arrange to hold ‘Adopt A Pet’ Saturdays once a month. “You know I’ve always loved animals. Besides becoming a veterinarian, this is the next best thing.” I snapped my fingers. “Which reminds me-I have to put an ad in the paper for an assistant. Know anyone who’d be interested in giving dogs a bath and clipping cat’s claws?”
“Not off the top of my head,” he said dryly. He hesitated briefly and then said, “Would this life altering decision of yours have anything to do with Patrick?”
My throat constricted and my heart skipped a beat at the mention of my former director slash fiancée. I swallowed over the lump and replied, “I won’t deny that putting distance between me and Patrick held a certain amount of appeal, but it wasn’t the only deciding factor.”
I could hear him snicker, although he tried to hide it. “I’ll bet you my next commission you’ll be on the next plane to LA in a month.”
I laughed. “I hate to take your money, Max. You work so hard for it.”
“So your mind is made up? There’s nothing I can do to change it?”
“Nope.”
Another long sigh. “Well, then, I wish you luck, Shell, although…I’ve got to warn you, though – Gary probably won’t be thrilled by this news.”
My nose wrinkled. I could well imagine my former co-star’s reaction, which was one of the reasons I hadn’t told him I was moving either. “Gary will be fine. He’s like a cat. He always lands on his feet. Trust me, he’ll be thrilled. Now he can convince the new producers to hire a young chippie as his new sidekick.”
“It’s not that easy.” He hesitated and then said, “I might as well tell you the truth. You were the one the producers really wanted. Without you, I doubt there’ll be much interest in the new series. But that’s not your problem. Take care, Shell – oh, wait! Are guest roles totally off the table?”

Inquiring Writers Want to Know –
what are agents and editors looking for?
what are agents and editors looking for?
Five years ago my fondest dream was realized: my cozy mystery, Meow If It's Murder, was accepted for publication by Penguin. Since that happy day, however, the world of publishing has changed big time. Publishers are being undercut by e-books, self-published authors, and hundreds of newly minted small presses. Understandably, that’s meant a considerable amount of belt-tightening. Today’s editors no longer edit but are tasked with finding new authors with new material. Which means what, exactly?
The answer is they’re on the hunt for the next big thing. That usually means a great story with memorable, dynamic characters, breakout books that are cutting edge and different. So, what can an author do to increase their chances of getting their “baby” accepted for publication? Here are some tips:
#1: Look at the Categories
The mystery, thriller, and romance categories are holding strong. And a new sub-category – what publishers call “the domestic thriller”, is doing very well. If you’ve written a vampire or zombie book it’s going to be a tough sell (although I hear vampires are on the rise!!!), but editors are still looking for good Young Adult books and Children’s picture books.
#2: Good Representation
Finding an agent – and a reputable one – has oft been compared to finding a needle in a haystack, but it isn’t impossible! The best thing to do is home in on three or four reputable agents that represent work in your category. Then you’ve got to submit a whiz-bang query letter that immediately nips at their interest. You can find good samples online.
The search for an agent can be daunting, as well. There are several reputable sites where you can check them out. I recommend Absolute Write! They have postings on practically every agent, and people can relate their experiences. You can also read comments from folks who are represented by said agents. Do a Google search on finding an agent and you’ll be amazed at the number of sites that come up. Here’s a good one: http://www.writersmarket.com/cms/open/agent
Things to remember when looking for an agent:
1. Look for someone who represents what you write. If he or she represents non-fiction, and you’ve written a thriller, then they aren’t for you! Most agents are always on the lookout for new authors to represent. ...
2. Once you’ve selected the ones you think would fit with what you’ve written, send them a personalized query letter. Most will want to see a sample of your work, usually the first fifty pages.
3. Always follow up if you don't hear anything. ...
4. Don't just say yes to the first agent!
#3: Submit a Finished Product
The days of winning a book contract on just a few chapters or an outline are gonzo, unless you’re a well-established author. Today’s tougher, leaner market means authors must write and submit a Finished Manuscript. Also, you should look at how your story relates to what’s already out there in the marketplace. For example, if there are already forty-nine knitting mystery series and you're pitching the fiftieth, it could be a tough sell. You also need to make sure your novel’s plot, pacing, turning points, character development, dialogue, and suspense is spot-on.
#4: Hook your Reader!
In today’s on-demand climate, it’s critical to establish an opening story hook immediately. Agents and editors don’t want pages and pages of build-up, they want you to toss your reader directly into the action.
Of course, there is no tried and true formula and all of the above should be sprinkled with a dash of good luck!
