Thanks so much to everyone for all the Garden Intrigue contest ideas! I only wish I had more ARCs to give away, now that I have so many creative ways to do it. We will quite definitely be having a second contest in which there will be poetry involved. (Given Augustus, how could there not [...]

There’s something of a book pile-up on my kitchen table right now. Not only are there ten copies of the book version of Ivy & Intrigue, just waiting to find a good home, but a surprise package arrived yesterday, containing ARCs (advance review copies) of The Garden Intrigue.
