Woven, David Powers King, Michael Jensen

What a busy week. I hope you'll visit me at the A to Z Challenge Blog where I'm going to ask you how those goals are going for the year. 

I'm proud to share the exciting announcement about WOVEN by Michael Jensen and David Powers King, published by Scholastic Many of us know the path this book took and the hard work the two authors put into it so it be enjoyed by readers. I hope you'll check it out.

Two unlikely allies must journey across a kingdom in the hopes of thwarting death itself.

All his life, Nels has wanted to be a knight of the kingdom of Avërand. Tall and strong, and with a knack for helping those in need, the people of his sleepy little village have even taken to calling him the Knight of Cobblestown.

But that was before Nels died, murdered outside his home by a mysterious figure.

Now the young hero has awoken as a ghost, invisible to all around him save one person—his only hope for understanding what happened to him—the kingdom’s heir, Princess Tyra. At first the spoiled royal wants nothing to do with Nels, but as the mystery of his death unravels, the two find themselves linked by a secret, and an enemy who could be hiding behind any face.

Nels and Tyra have no choice but to abscond from the castle, charting a hidden world of tangled magic and forlorn phantoms. They must seek out an ancient needle with the power to mend what has been torn, and they have to move fast. Because soon Nels will disappear forever.

It's hard to believe 2015 is 1/12th over already. And that I've had to shovel snow four times already this month. Is the year going fast for you? Tired of snow yet? Have you met David and Michael before?

2015 is definitely going by fast for me. I'm not ready for January to be over with yet!

And wow, Woven sounds so intense. Congrats to Michael and David!

This has been a super fast month. It will be 2016 before we know it.

Thank you for having us on your site, Susan! :)

This is a new look for your blog. I really like it. Change is good. I don't want this year to slip away as 2014 was such a challenge and I'm putting that mildly. I've ordained 2015 as The Year Of Steve.

Oh, and good luck to David and Michael with Woven!

I still have so much work to do in January and I'm down to a day and a half. LOL

Susan Gourley/Kelley said...

Very glad to have you here, David.

Yahoo for the Year of Steve!

Weird. I somehow logged in using a defunct blog link for the previous comment. I forgot that one even existed.

2015 is flying on by indeed. Ugg to the stupid snow as well. Woven sounds great indeed

Very catchy blurb! Sounds like a great MG read.

Christine Rains said...

Congrats to the intrepid co-authors! They've certainly made an impression this week. Yes, I'm fed up with the snow by now. It was fun to start with, but now my car's gears are choked from revving the engine on ice, and that won't be cheap to fix! Sorry - I had to offload about it.

Susan Gourley/Kelley said...

I understand, Nick. My son had an accident on the ice coming home from work last week so we have a car in the shop too. Very expensive.
