Tidbits of Cinders #2 - Paris + Good News

I have various bits of lovely news, but first: I'm in Paris, in the former of townhouse of a former 19th-century sugar baron. (I say 'former', because he's presumably not a sugar baron anymore and he presumably is a skeleton, or a jar of ashes, or a pan-dimensional being. Though I suppose he could still be a sugar baron, immortal yet decayed, pulling the strings of his sugar empire from beyond the grave. Or better yet, from within the grave, in the velvet-hung crypts of his Montparnasse mausoleum. That would be cool.)Anyway, here are some Paris pictures, even though they have not much to do with anything, but Paris pictures are always nice.      Good book news: Cinders and Sparrows is a Junior Library Guild Selection!Further good news: Cinders and Sparrows is also an Indie Next List Pick for Fall 2020!Even more good news: I got my first blurb for this book from the very kind Soman Chainani, who is a New York Times Bestselling author, and very popular, and who liked it, which pleases me greatly.  Weeeee, thank you so much, Soman, and thank you also to the booksellers who voted for Cinders, and to Junior Library Guild, who has selected several of my books over the years, and to whom I'm incredibly grateful. I'm really glad people are liking Zita's adventures so far.
