Misfit McCabe Series Sweetheart Deal

Misfit McCabe Series Sweetheart Deal

By LK Gardner-Griffie on February 3, 2012

February is known for being the month for sweethearts… and while I’m not the majorly romantic type (I leave that to my characters) I found myself thinking about what sweethearts my readers are and wanted to do something to celebrate them.

The Reader’s Gift

The Reader’s Gift

By LK Gardner-Griffie on January 3, 2012

Today was one of those days. You know the sort where Murphy is somewhere in the universe pointing his finger at you and laughing his butt off. Yeah… that was my day.

Winners of the Tattered Blog Tour

Winners of the Tattered Blog Tour

By LK Gardner-Griffie on December 13, 2011

I had a blast on the Tattered tour, and I think those who made it through all of the stops had a great time too. But now it has come to an end. After the holidays, I’m going to come up with some more promotional things to help get the word out about Tattered, but until then, I hope you visit all the stops, even though the prizes are gone and learn more about Katie McCabe and other characters in Tattered!!

Tattered Blog Tour

Tattered Blog Tour

By LK Gardner-Griffie on December 1, 2011

The time has FINALLY come for me to get Tattered off my hard drive and send it on its way into the world. I am very excited about this for a few reasons. One — I don’t care what book it is, DONE is a beautiful word.

Banned in New Zealand

Banned in New Zealand

By Katie McCabe on November 25, 2011

Anyone who knows me knows I think banning of books is pretty stupid. If you don’t like what’s in a book, then don’t read it. In fact, by not buying it you’re already making a statement with your wallet.

Tattered Cover Reveal

Tattered Cover Reveal

By LK Gardner-Griffie on November 7, 2011

I am very excited to have a cover for the third book in the Misfit McCabe series, Tattered, for a couple of reasons. The first reason is that I love the cover. And secondly, it means the release of Tattered can’t be far behind.

Remembering What Isn’t To Be

Remembering What Isn’t To Be

By Katie McCabe on August 10, 2011

This is hard. I’m struggling to find the words I want to say.

In July, after reading about Samuel and Takeimi, I couldn’t stop thinking about them.

Takeimi’s Legacy

Takeimi’s Legacy

By Katie McCabe on July 21, 2011

A couple of weeks ago Takeimi Rao was looking forward to starting high school, or at least that’s what I’d expect from a straight A student. But last week, during a slumber party all her dreams of what she was going to do with her life came to an end.

A Disgusting Show Of Politics

A Disgusting Show Of Politics

By Katie McCabe on July 16, 2011

When I saw someone called BookBurninParty start following writers on Twitter, my head nearly exploded. I mean, seriously, who outside of librarians and teachers, love books more than writers? Why would some idiot talk about burning books to writers????

Alcohol and Death: Something to think about

Alcohol and Death: Something to think about

By Katie McCabe on July 14, 2011

This is a picture of Samuel Hayes. He died last week, probably because he had too much to drink. He was sixteen-years-old, only a couple years older than me. I didn’t know Samuel. We don’t live in the same town, but his story hit me hard. He looks like a nice guy, and sixteen is too young to die.
