When I got an invitation to Macmillan Children's Book's 4th of July celebration for Dreamless, I was so excited. Partly because I'm extremely nosy and I look snooping around publisher's offices. But also because Josephine Angelini was going to do a live web chat from America.Not only did the lovely staff at Macmillan go all out decorating their office with flags, blue, white and red stars and striped banners, but they made lots of stunning food from rocky road, hot dogs and cupcakes set out like the American flag!
But to top it all off, Josephine was absolutely amazing - so bubbly, chatty and friendly. It was so lovely to hear how characters from Starcrossed are based on members of her family, from Jerry (named after her brother) to the Delos family in general which is based on her own large and loud family life. I'd never really thought about it before, but Josephine explained how thinking about her own family helped her develop the characters, by using traits and situations from real life (not including shooting thunder bolts) to embellish the characters.
We were also lucky enough to hear a snippet from Goddess, #3 in the series, which I can't wait for. Shame we have to wait a year for it. And can I also say, considering it was early morning for Josephine, she somehow managed to look flawlessly beautiful! This woman can do no wrong!
I am rather annoyed at myself for not taking any more pictures, but I was just so overwhelmed my brain kind of stopped functioning properly. But honestly, with cupcakes and Josephine on web chat, who can blame me!!
If you haven't seen the web chat, hop over to My Kinda Book's Google + site to take a look.

Great blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?
I'm planning to start my own blog soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
Would you advise starting with a free platform
like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I'm completely overwhelmed .. Any tips? Kudos!

Gday!
It looks as though we both have a interest for the same
thing. Your blog, "Blogger: My Book Journey" and mine are very similar.
Have you ever thought about authoring a guest post for a
related blog? It will certainly help gain
publicity to your blog (my website receives a lot of visitors).
If you are interested, contact me. Thanks for your time

Hey.
I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several weeks
of hard work due to no backup. Do you have any solutions to protect against hackers?

I am starting up a new online website directory and was
wondering if I can submit your blog? I'm hoping to grow my directory little by little by hand so that it maintains quality. I'll make sure and put your blog in the correct category and I'll also use, "Blogger: My Book Journey" as your anchor text. Make sure you let me know if this is acceptable with you by e-mailing me. Appreciate it
