Photo Challenge – Tamiko edition
Cameras Ready?! Take pictures for me! Snap a picture of Tamiko and the Two Janitors when it arrives. Prop it up in your favorite reading spot. Snag a book-sniffing selfie. Showcase it with the other books in your set … with props from the story … with your mug of tea … with your pets … with your plushies … with character doodles … with a Kimiko-worthy snack. Get creative. Be enthusiastic. Impress me. Be elegant or silly. Make me smile. Because there will be fabulous prizes.
YOU HAVE ONE MONTH!
August 1 – August 31
- Send me a link to your #bookstagram or blog post, pins or pic-spam.
- Tweet your pics using @ForthWrites, and I’ll retweet.
- Email me your snapshots or leave them here in comments.
- *DO* notify me via email. Unlike Hisoka-sensei, 4thy isn’t quite omniscient.
always.forthright@gmail.com
If you’re taking part, I’m going to assume you’re okay with my re-posting your pictures here on the blog, on Twitter, on Goodreads, etc. And yes, if you can find creative ways to show off your digital edition, I’ll count those pictures, too.
Fabulous Prizes. Everyone who participates (and lets me know w/ a comment or email and link) will be entered into a drawing. Three people (for Book 3) will win … a Tamiko tote! ::twinkle::
Enamel Tradition
Who doesn’t love pins?! In keeping with tradition, one of my friends found a pin to fit the release of Tamiko and the Two Janitors. (Okay, she found *two* … but that’s another post.) Here’s a lovely feather to match those on the book cover. ::twinkle::
Delivered
Pre-order Arrival. Ever since the delays that accompanied the release of the first book in the Amaranthine Saga, I’ve placed my own books on pre-order with Amazon so I get the same communication as readers. Yesterday afternoon, my copy of Tamiko and the Two Janitors arrived without a fuss. Only two days after release day. Which means they express-ordered copies in order to fulfill orders. Not bad, Amazon. Not bad at all. ::twinkle::
Get your cameras ready, friends! With print editions arriving hither and yon, it’s time for a photo challenge. I’ll unveil details and fabulous prizes soon! ::twinkle::
ART: Ash and Kip
Two Janitors. It’s not often that a book has 3 titular characters (okay, okay, Betsy, Tacy, and Tib comes to mind, but that’s old school and really beside the point). I showed you Fox’s portrait of Tamiko on release day. Meet the janitors!

ART: Tami Reaverson
The Third Miko. Tamiko and the Two Janitors, the third book in the Amaranthine Saga, introduces everyone to Principal Tami Reaverson, who has big plans for her small town.

“How was the conference?”
Tami’s heart skipped with nervous excitement. “Amazing. And intense. We had classes from morning to night, but they were all so interesting. And I was able to meet real Amaranthine!”
“Look at you, snubbing the slang!”
“Our first lessons were in etiquette.” Tami shook her head. “Everyone’s always saying Rivven, even on the news. Most of the attendees didn’t even know there was a proper term.”
“But they set you straight?”
“Kindly.” She patted her satchel. “I brought back so much literature, and some of the information packets are thick as dictionaries. Even if we’re not selected, I’m going to read it all.”
—Tamiko and the Two Janitors (Amaranthine Saga, #3)

Squee Post
Tamiko and the Two Janitors. If you need a place to react, confer, or kick up a fuss, this is the spot. I’ll enjoy your enthusiasm, I might be willing to clarify small points, but I reserve the right to evade questions that will be answered later in the series. ::twinkle::
