‘Tis The Giving Season! (And I’m giving you free stuff.)

Well, I know what I’m putting on my Christmas list this year. Shirt courtesy of lookhuman.com

The holidays are approaching! ‘Tis the season of giving (and buying)!

And if you aren’t my German mother, you probably still have some people to buy for.

Well, I can’t think of a better gift than Sleepy Happy Capy Cuddles!

Sleepy Happy Capy Cuddles is not a holiday book, but it embraces the giving, loving spirit of the season. Buy several. Or dozens. It’s make anyone and everyone FLOOF with delight.

Oh, I see. You’re not here for the commercial. You wanna learn about the free stuff.

Fair enough.

Here’s the deal. If you buy a copy of Sleepy Happy Capy Cuddles AND write a review of the book on Amazon, Goodreads, Barnes & Noble, or anywhere else, I will mail you a signed bookplate!

It’s a sticker that you affix to the end pages so you can say, “Look! I got you a signed book!”

A signed bookplate in its natural habitat.

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL!

You’re nice. You deserve more than a bookplate. So I will also mail you an Official, Limited Edition, “Certified Capy Cuddler” Button!

A valuable keepsake!

They are made with love and hypoallergenic unicorn dander.

And, I’ll throw in a couple of bookmarks, too. Because why not?

Long story short, as you finalize your gift list this season, please consider buying a copy of my book and giving it a review.

It would be the best Christmas gift I could ever hope for.

Happy Holidays, Everyone!

Well, that was odd…

I was interviewed by hamsters. I’m not complaining, mind you. Far from it.

I’m flattered!

The little guys graciously made room in their crazy schedules to help me promote my upcoming book.

So, if you wanna see how that turned out, head on over to Shehanne Moore’s blog. I think you’ll be glad you did.

Thank you, Shehanne! And thank you for your hospitality, Hammies!

Yes! You Can Draw A Capybara!

“Don’t say you can’t draw me. Of course you can. Capy has faith in you. All you need is a little faith in yourself.”

The release date for Sleepy Happy Capy Cuddles is about a month away and, well, I’m getting giddy!

I’m pleased to say that this giddiness is shared by the good folks at Page Street Kids, who have done many wonderful things to get the word out. They’ve sponsored a capybara through the World Wildlife Fund. They’ve set me up with book signings and school visits. They’ve created book plates and buttons and other bits of capybara swag. They’ve even sent me a capybara stuffed animal. (Gotta have my stuffy!)

They’ve also created an activity packet. Included in this packet is a capybara drawing guide by Illustrator Extraordinaire Jaimie Whitbread. And I don’t care how artistically challenged you might be, Whitbread’s simple, step-by-step instructions will get you drawing a Guinea Big of your very own!

So give it a try, my friends! And by all means, feel free to share your work in the comments! Or share whatever else you want to say in the comments. I like chatting with you.
