Hey Chantele’s people!! How is everyone??
She let me take over her blog today because it’s my birthday
– in a year where I have to realize that I’ve passed that midpoint in my
THIRTIES (36 today) I needed some happy. SO! I’m running all over the internet for
fun (And for the workout b/c I swear my metabolism slows down a little every
year, and I could use the exercise).
I met Chantele just before LDS Storymakers 2011, and then
got to meet her in person when I was there. She was just as hilarious and fun
as I knew she would be, and I was salivating over her idea for Not Your Average Fairy Tale. (It was
just as good as I wanted it to be BTW).
Chantele is one of those great people who always says the
right thing at the right time and has made me feel better about a MILLION times
with what’s going on in my writing life. She’s been nothing but friendly and
open and honest, and it was so fun to hear her whole big long publication story
for Not Your Average Fairytale (and
it is a long one). Her interviews have introduced me to so many friends,
authors, and books that I’d have never known about otherwise, and I pop in almost
every Friday for her bits of random (even though I’m a lazy commenter).
She’s one of those people whose stories need to be out in
the world.
SO! In celebration of my birthday (and by the sound of it,
possibly the birthday of someone else…very tiny…) I’m giving away one e-copy of
Chantele’s book, and a e-copy of one of my books (your choice).
Leave a comment w/ your email address and my nine year old
daughter or random org will pick a winner :-D
THANK YOU CHANTELE!!
I’m off to another blog!! Happy Birthday :-D

I've heard nothing but good things about your books, I just never knew there were so many. I'm off to my kindle.
This. Is. Too. Awesome!
I'm loving reading how Jo met all of these amazing people. Chantele, you ROCK. And now I want to know the full story behind Not Your Average Fairy Tale! ;)
This is such a cool way to celebrate your birthday, Jo!
I haven't read Chantele's book yet, but it's on the TBR list. It's one of those that just sounds so unique and fun. And it's got a very cool cover! I really need to get to it.
Happy Birthday, Jo!
Happy Birthday! This was a fun blogpost to read. :)
You are everywhere today :) Like a magic birthday internet fairy (that is a book idea for you). You already have my e-mail and you know where to find me.
Oh and Chan...give that baby a big smooshy kiss for me :)
How Jo describes Chantele is exactly how I pictured her! :)
Ooh! Pick me! LOL.

And Happy Birthday! And shout out to Chantele and her pretty new babe!
One day I will get to go to LDS and meet Chantele too. ;0)
Chantele, your cover totally hooked me. Makes me smile just thinking about reading it. It's most definitely on my TBR list.
Happy day again, Jo!
Jolene- you mean you have time to exercise? Holy cow, with all you do...I figured the adrenalin of being on constant "go" would keep you think as a rail!
Congratulations Chantele!!!
I hope I win this one! I can't wait to read this book!
Happy birthday, Jo. Nice to meet you, Chantele!
