So my editor Nina at Mirrorstone (who is awesome) actually HANDMADE these adorable stuffed bats based on Emi Tanji’s design (I mentioned her before in the blog when I posted that adorable card they sent me after Max was born…hmm, I’m saying adorable way too much, but hey, it was!). She sent me two stuffed bats – one to keep (me and Max’ll have to fight over it) and one to give away.
The absolutely ADORABLE bat that Nina made based on Emi's design
Yep, that’s right. One is to give away. As part of the book launch I’m going to be having a whopping big online book launch party and you’re invited! There’s a bunch of authors coming (like Marlene Perez and Lara Zeises and Alan Gratz…plus lots more…I’ve heard back from 12 authors so far and I hope to hear back from some more) and you’ll be able to learn about ‘em, win great prizes (books, books, books!), and you’ll also be able to win a giganticus prize pack of Mirrorstone stuff (including the ADORABLE stuffed bat!). How cool is that?? Hope to see you there…it’ll all start around August 26th when the book comes out. I’ll post more details as things get closer. Be sure to spread the word!
Max about to "bite" into the bat
That’s adorable!
Isn’t it???
Merchandising . . . it’s all in the merchandising? (Thinking of that one scene in Space Balls)
LOL yeah, but this is handmade, limited edition stuff
I want to make my own now xDDD
Yeah, I have to try and make one too! I’ve still got one that I’m not letting go of, but the others I gave away in promotional giveaways. I hated to let them go!
