Virtual Release Party: Kathleen Firstenberg
Editor feature:
Kathleen Firstenberg
Kathleen is the illustrious editor of Don’t Judge a Book By Its Magic as well as The Lustre. God willing, she’ll be the editor of many more of my books! Kathleen is a funny and clever gal who I met here in Seattle, but who has since moved to California and then Las Vegas. It’s a good thing she’s flexible! That benefited my writing this time too, because I tried a completely new style for me. She did a fantastic job and I really appreciate all her hard work.
Kathleen has been editing for more than 8 years and earned a University of Washington Extension Editing Certificate in 2009. She has written and edited accreditation documents and manuals, and edited content for workandworship.com and the Mars Hill Ballard blog. She has beautified writing of all kinds from term papers, resumes, a policy and procedure manual to the parenting book Inspiring Childhood, Inspiring Life in addition to her fabulous work on The Lustre and Don’t Judge a Book By Its Magic.
Her thoughts on her career: “I like to edit all kinds of writing, from instruction manuals to novels. I love that I learn a little bit about a wide variety of subjects, such as education, theology, sociology, the medical industry, parenting, mythical creatures, etc. (This is one of the best things about being a freelancer…I know a little about a lot, haha!)”
Kathleen enjoys reading, traveling, relaxing on the beach, and spending time with friends and family. She lives with her husband and two children in Newport Beach, California. (I can also always get her to forward snarky photos on Facebook about grammar and the English language!)
For more information and to hire her (hypnotic suggestion), visit her site! http://kathleenfberg.webs.com

Review
Please visit the very first review of Don’t Judge a Book By Its Magic, written by The Bookworm Extraordinaire. Thank you for the delightful review, Bookworm!
The review went up in September, but Bookworm is also hosting! Visit her party post here: http://www.thebookwormextraordinare.blogspot.com
And see the review here: http://www.thebookwormextraordinare.blogspot.com/2012/09/review-dont-judge-book-by-its-magic-by.html
About the Bookworm
Bookworm Extraordiare is a pseudonym for the person behind the reviews. That’s me! I feel that I can be harsh with my critisizms sometimes, and I don’t feel like retribution on my real life. I enjoy the read, but I also enjoy books that are not foolishly written. I will be reviewing published and non-published books on this blog. See definitions as to what I mean by pusblished and non-published in the footer.*I review mainly YA books, but I will dabble in others if interested. So if you see a book that is not YA in my lists, just a head’s up.I will also be doing contests as the blog progresses! I will be doing “Saturday Jams,” as well as “Turbulent Tuesdays.” If you do not have a clue what I’m talking about, and probably do not since this is my blog, then stick around!
Hey, if you would like for me to follow you, just send and email. If you join me, I will try and keep up and follow you also. Us bloggers have to stick together!
Loves,
The Bookworm!

Author Blog-in: The Truth about Dandelions
The Truth about Dandelions.
Today I would like to tell anyone who might be reading this blog about my recently released novel, The Truth about Dandelions. I am an award winning author (recently taking first place in the Alice Munro Short Story Competition) with a long list of essay and short story publications. This is my debut novel:
Mara isn’t a slut; she just can’t find what she wants. She wants to forget her mother’s death, her father’s hypocrisy, and the plane crash that follows her. As a child she couldn’t understand why the grass never got cut, and now as she gropes her way through university life, all those weeds, those dandelions, have stayed with her, haunting her dreams.
She can’t see a way out of her dark hole until she gets hit by a car on an Ottawa street and starts spending time with Jack, the guy behind the wheel. Kind, thoughtful, and a virgin – he’s the last person she’d ever expected to fall for.
As she opens up to Jack, the wounds she’d been trying to ignore surface, and she’s forced to finally choose between running from or facing the past that’s been haunting her all her life. Through nights out looking for release to the ultimate event that forces her to face herself, Mara finally learns the truth about dandelions.
(cover design by David Morris Photography: http://www.davidphoto.ca/)
You will not like this book if:
– you hate classic literature, particularly Charlotte Bronte
– you hate Richard Dawkins or people who criticize organized religion
– you get uncomfortable hearing about the brutal side of life
You WILL like this book if:
– you like questioning why people act they way they do
– you can hold two opposing views in your mind at the same time and not explode
– you can watch a person make mistake after mistake and still give them another chance
You can read the first 10% of The Truth about Dandelions for free on Amazon (link below).
It is now on sale for 99 cents starting on October 15, but only until October 31. DON’T WAIT!
Download your copy at:
