But this plug is for a good cause, and one that applies to everyone out there, even those of you don’t write children’s literature.  Heck, you don’t even have to write for this to apply to you!

Today we launched The Great Library Giveaway on the From the Mixed-Up Files blog.  We have complied a list of almost 50 middle-grade titles that we want to donate to a local or school library.  We are asking readers to nominate their favorite library, and our random generator will choose a winning library on November 30th.

So check in and nominate your child’s school library, or your favorite public library, or the underserved library across town that you heard needs donations.  Just find a worth library and tell us!

(For those who need a little extra push, we are giving the person with the winning entry a $25 gift certificate to their local indie store as well.)

So go!  Run!  Nominate!

And when you’re done, I might have some updates that are art related posted here for you to read.

Hey, I’ve been really busy!
