Wow! Thank you all sooo much, especially the 600+ fans who put my book on their to-read shelves. You're the best!

Wizard the Elf did the math for me. He says North Pole High is now the 89th most-requested book out of more than 1,800 currently open giveaways. That puts it in the top 5%. For a Christmas book. In October. Take that, Halloween!

There's still one day left. If you want better odds, enter my other giveaway right here. Fewer players. More prizes. It's easier than voting! LOL.

Twelve Days of October Giveaway

Hiiiiii! I'm having so much fun on my blog tour. Now I know what it's like when my dad goes on his mall tour every year.

And I've reached ONE THOUSAND Twitter followers!!!

To celebrate, I'm launching a new GIVEAWAY!

This time I've decided to have some fun with it. In addition to a SIGNED ARC of my book, the Grand Prize Package includes a hand-picked selection of DVDs that I think you'll love, along with exclusive North Pole High stickers and bookmarks!

Plus, the Kindle edition of North Pole High: A Rebel Without a Claus will go to ten lucky second-place winners!

As you know, giving presents is in my genes. Here are the DVDs included in this prize package:

The original Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, because it's all about making candy, and who doesn't love candy?

Four Nicholas Sparks movies, because who doesn't love romance? Well, boys maybe. But maybe a boy will win these and change his mind? Includes The Notebook, A Walk to Remember, Message in a Bottle, and Nights in Rodanthe.

Happy Feet! Okay, this one was Chefy's choice. Cuz it's about Penguins! Nuff said.

And finally, JUSTIN BIEBER, because who doesn't love the Biebs? I mean, I've seen the letters you write to my dad. He's the most requested Christmas present by far. But if you are one of the haters, I can always give this disc to Jessy, my cover designer. She's a true Belieber!
