Time flies...
It's only three weeks now until The Rookie Club comes out...I can hardly believe how fast it's gone by. Review copies, mailings, interviews...all of it makes the hours flip by like still shots on a film reel. My head is reeling, too. Tomorrow, I go back to school for another 8 days and I can hardly believe it's been four and a half months since I was there...
The reviews for the book have been wonderful. Here's what a few of my colleagues have to say about The Rookie Club:
"Utterly riveting. Girard delivers a gritty new cop series with a twist--a female investigators club that can beat out the old boys network any day of the week. Tightly written, brilliantly plotted, THE ROOKIE CLUB will keep you guessing...and anxiously waiting for more."
Lisa Gardner, NY Times Bestselling author of Gone
"Compelling and compassionate, with three of the strongest female characters to have graced the genre in years. With The Rookie Club, Danielle Girard has established herself as one of the best of the new breed of mystery writers."
John Connolly, NY Times bestselling author of Bad Men
"The Rookie Club is one of those fast-paced, what's-going-to-happen-next stories that grabs your curiosity and your emotions and then shakes the hell out of both."
Jonathon King, bestselling author of A Killing Night
Not that I needed any further distraction, but my publisher's PR department recommended I set up a site at myspace.com. Ever been there? Wow. What a place. Something like 77 MILLION users. Thanks to a lot of help from my masterful webmaven, Sue, I've got quite a fun little page set up there. Check it out at: www.myspace.com/therookieclub. And we've got some fun things going. First, there's the daily drawing for a copy of The Rookie Club going until June 6. Enter at www.daniellegirard.com/raffle2.html.
And now, we're doing a photo contest. There are all sorts of these going on over at myspace.com, so we thought we'd do one of our own. Feel free to join in. Here's the scoop:
The contest will begin June 6th (when The Rookie Club is available) and run until July 6th. The 1st place winner will get $100 at iTunes or Amazon.com (whichever he/she prefers). First runner up will get $25.
Rules: the photo must incorporate an actual copy of The Rookie Club (or more than one, if you prefer). Please do not destroy or damage the book for your photo (it’s upsetting to the writer!). Also, nothing that will get us in trouble with myspace. (This means no nudity, profanity, etc.)
The winner will be selected by a vote of myspace peers. So, once we get going, you want to have your "friends" come “comment” on which is the best!!
