Hi guys! Something amazing and totally not normal happened to us last week! We won a contest for an Advance Reader's Copy of a new book called Vodnik by Bryce Moore. Bryce is a brand spankin' new author with some roots in Utah; Trevor and I meet him last year at Conduit and have been anxiously awaiting his book release this March. We were both impressed with Bryce's style and the amount/quality of information he gave at the convention last year, so we've also been following his blog. He's also a librarian--cool, eh?The book is in the mail, so we don't have it yet. But I'm getting pretty excited! Trevor is also working on an interview with the author over on his blog that should be out right around the book's release date.
We never win anything! So this is a pretty amazing win :)
Here's a little blurb about the book from Bryce's blog:
When Tomas and his family move back to Slovakia after a devastating fire, Tomas doesn't remember the folktale creatures he befriended as a child.
But they remember him and his Roma family, and they’re not as friendly as they once were. Suddenly Tomas is in over his head, and he’ll have to strike a bargain with Death herself in order to put things right.
Amidst a backdrop of anti-Roma sentiment, he and his cousin must match wits with myths, and uncover the secrets of Tomas's past before their own futures become forfeit.
Death herself; isn't that neat? You all should check it out when it comes out! I'll be sure to let you know how it is :)
