    Calling All Super Stealthy Spy Sentence Hunters!

    saj posters

    Okay guys, I finally finished the official SAJ posters. In fact, I designed two of them which is not really a good thing because I only want to print one version. But the Paris version was dying to get out of my head, so I let it out. If I don’t print it, it’s not a loss. It will show up somewhere…maybe a book cover? I don’t know yet. Before I go to press though I wanted to ask your opinions. Which poster do you like better? Which one would you actually hang up? I mean, if you were into that sort of thing of course.


    And if you were hunting for the sentences and emailed me, Yay! You get to have one of these. However, as of right now, I will no longer be accepting emailed sentence lists. Thank you everyone who played along. I knew you were a fun stealthy bunch.

    Here are the secret spy sentences for your proofing pleasure. I think everyone got them all right so no worries there. If you emailed me, you’re in. Free posters all around!

    a. It’s a cold day for pontooning.
    b. The spotted cuckoo is flying backwards.
    c. The moles snuck into the garden last night.
    d. The black dog walks in the noon-day sun.
    e. The chimera has three sets of teeth.
    f. The blue lake freezes in winter.
    g. The green tea brews in tranquility.
    h. The polar bear collects spare change.
    i. The cheese stands alone.
    j. Your sedated mouse is in need of a companion.
    k. The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.
    l. The last swallow of summer is winging his way over the horizon.
    m. Silence is of the Gods…only monkeys chatter.
    n. The dolphins are in the jacuzzi.
    o. Do you want a shipment of chocolate?
    p. Surely the caged whale knows nothing of the mighty depths.

    BIG NEWS: The book tour!

    Secret Agent Josephine, the book tour

    The time has come! I finally finished SAJ Numbers and now I get to schedule a little virtual book tour. You might have thought I was going to come to your town and set up a little table and hand out cupcakes. I wish I was. Bug has perfected her signature and everything. I might do that locally but I’m not big enough to travel quite yet. But it could happen. I just need your help.

    What I need right now are 26-30 bloggers who would be willing to host a little book tour for me. Just one post. There will be prizes, crafts and even a secret clue game. It’s going to be fun and don’t worry, I’ll do all the hard work for you. I will have a press release ready that you can just copy and paste blurbs from or you can interview me OR you can host a little craft that I will set up for you with printables!! It will be fun! You’ll be part of a tour with some other big bloggers (I’m calling in favors from all my old-school blogging buddies from way back) so you’ll get a lot of traffic to your site (at least that’s my evil plan anyway) because everyone will have to find the secret clue in each blog post.

    Is this a mission you would like to accept? Email me and we’ll set up a date.

    Secret Spy Numbers

    Numbers will drop November 15th just in time for the Kindle Fire (so you can see it in color!) The other books are already out but don’t buy them or pimp them now because I want everyone to make a big fuss on the 20th so it will get a better chance to rise to the top of the book charts and hopefully stay there if it gets good exposure. This is the strategy.

    But between you and me, it’s my next book I’m excited about. The one I haven’t written yet: SAJ goes to Paris. I’m giving myself a year to illustrate it and it’s going to be full scenes instead of just illustrations on white. I’ve got a taste for this book-making business and I’m really excited about it. Maybe you’ll join me?
