Welcome to the party!
10 Giveaways - 5 signed paperbacks & 5 eBooks
to celebrate Becky's 10th birthday
and the official release of Curse of the Double Digits!
"Woo hoo! It's my birthday!"
She expects it to be magical.
The whole class is invited to her party, including Chad, the cutest boy in the fifth grade. So is Darlenie-the-Meanie.
Becky wants to look cute for her big day, but all her plans go wrong. Really wrong. The magic of turning ten disappears before she even has a chance to blow out her birthday candles.
Things get so bad, she refuses to go to her own party. Becky wonders if the Curse of the Double Digits will jinx her forever.

What's the best birthday gift you ever received?
Congratulations Lynn! I'm VERY excited for you. All my best with your launch.
ReplyDeleteBish - Thank you for coming to celebrate with me!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the book, Lynn! This is so exciting!
ReplyDeleteI had to share small birthday parties with my little sister, because her birthday was the day after mine (2 years apart). Usually, friends came over and we had cake and ice cream. :-)
Congratulations,Lynn and Happy Birthday,Becky! So excited the book is a reality. Just read it (Kindle cover to Kindle cover) and can so relate to the domino effect of kid-hood mishaps! Once a friend and I had to be witches in a play, so we put green food coloring in base makeup. Worked great for the show...but we had to go to school with green-stained faces for a week!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Lynn! Really an enjoyable read. I loved the realistic choices and consequences Becky faced throughout the book. Fun!
ReplyDelete*happy dance* First in line at the bouncey house. Yip, yip, yippee!!
ReplyDeleteCongrads Lynn! I love you and wish you the most happiness and success a person(or an offspring of a zebra or donkey) could have. Becky deserves it. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BECKY!
Congrats!! I wish you much luck and many happy sales. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Lynn! You've done a great job with this book; love the cover! Love the inside! This brings back all the wonderful/awful memories of growing up. Long live Becky!

ReplyDeleteCongrats Lynn!
ReplyDeleteWe always had birthday parties (until I was 12) I don't think we played games though. And I have to say my best birthday present was my daughter! (she was born 5 days before my birthday!)
And I prefer signed paperback!
Nychaelle Fenske - I'd say a baby is the best birthday present ever, for sure! Thanks for letting me know which format you prefer. Good luck!

ReplyDeleteLove you too Mommy :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new book, Lynn! I was there when you read your first draft and all of its revisions through the years, and I'm telling ya, it made me laugh out loud each time! When kids pick up your book, they're in for a real treat!
ReplyDeleteRaising my glass of punch... Here's to more great writing & books! Cheers!
Congratulations on your new book. It sounds like a fun read :)
ReplyDeleteOn my 9th b'day, I was the new girl at school. We were poor & Mom had bought a tiny Van de Kamp cake, but I didn't get a piece. It was for my uncles who had helped us move. I dont' remember being upset about it. Mom gave me two small gifts from the dime store. I LOVED the little nurse & babies dolls & pkg of bangle bracelets. For my 10th b'day, I had a cool party. And there was a BIG box.. inside a Liddle Kiddle Playhouse and tons of Kiddle dolls to hang out in it. :-)
ReplyDeleteMarcy - Thank you, WANA peep. So happy to have you here!
ReplyDeleteAmy - Seems like your 4th birthday party was just yesterday! That was a fun party!
Maria - You've been there through thick and thin. It's been an awesome journey, Zombud! Cheers to many more years of writing and celebrating and enjoying the ride!

ReplyDeleteI'm a day late, so I'll help with the cleanup. ;)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Lynn. I'm so excited for you and the great turnout for your launch!
My 10th birthday was held outdoors since it was spring in the country, and a bunch of kids from school came to play games and eat cake. I don't remember another party like that one. It was great fun.
Thomas - Thank you for stopping in to celebrate. You always liven up a party!
ReplyDeleteCynthia - Thank you for coming back! Yep, plenty of cake left. Here you go, girl! Have at it!
Congratulations Lynn!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you all have really been partying.

~Haley
This sounds like such a wonderful story!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Lynn!!!
Congratulations! This book sounds awesome! I would love to read it and find out what happens! I loved having birthday parties when I was growing up. I especially liked my roller skating birthday growing up. My best gift was horseback riding lessons. I didn't get a horse- but it was close enough.
ReplyDelete~Jess
Oh- and congratulations on your release! YEAH!!!
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you and congrats on your release!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Lynn! I am so excited for you! I'll check it out on Amazon right now. :)
ReplyDeleteHaley - Yes, quite a party! You should have seen the mess! Thanks for stopping by to join us!
ReplyDeleteLynda - Thank you! So nice to see you here again!
DMS - Jess - We had a roller skating party for one of my daughters one time and those are so much fun. I spent half my childhood roller skating, so of course I had to get out there with the kids, too! Horseback riding lessons sounds like an awesome gift, even if you didn't get a horse! Thanks for help us celebrate, Jess.
C.M. - So nice to meet you, too. Thank you! I'm so glad you stopped by.
ReplyDeleteEmily - Oh, thank you! So nice to see you here, my friend!
Sounds like such a cute book to read to my 8yr old! Love the idea! great job, Lyn
ReplyDeleteOh Lynn! Congrats to you! My daughter just turned 10 in August, what a cute title. (if by chance I win, paperback would be great! She has a Nook, do you have your book up for B&N ereaders?)
ReplyDeleteLove the blurb! Looks great. The only birthday I remember well was my 13th, for which I had a sleepover with a few friends. It wasn't anything truly amazing, but I just enjoyed it because my friends were there and we were goofy and girly and fun.
ReplyDelete(ebook)
Oh I am intrigued by your book. Congrats and good luck with the launch.
ReplyDeleteMy mum used to go to town on birthday parties with games and prizes. My most exciting present was my first gerbil.
