Golly gee whiz!
I took one and a half days off from blogging and I feel like I haven't seen anyone in ages! I'm so glad you're all here this morning! Let's have a chocolate feast to celebrate! (And I'll put strawberries inside so it's healthy :))
Delicious and nutritious! YUM! :)
Now then, first, I'd like to announce the winner of the June Pitch Pick and that is.....
.... ANDREA!!! with her pitch for The Backpack Secret!
Congratulations, Andrea! Your pitch is zipping through cyberspace to editor Erin Molta and I'm sure you will hear from her shortly :)
And congratulations to our other brave and talented pitchers, too. You all had splendid-sounding stories! Thank you for sharing your pitches!
Next, let's have a look at today's pitch which comes to us from Angela. Angela Brown is a lover of Wild Cherry Pepsi and chocolate/chocolate covered delicious-ness. [A girl after my own heart :)] Steampunk, fantasy and paranormal to contemporary fill her growing library of books. With a full-time corporate gig by day, and caring for her rambunctious daughter - aptly nicknamed Chipmunk - by night, Angela dons her hat as an author after goodnight kisses.

Here is her pitch:
Working Title: Fable Ranger
Age/Genre: MG Fairy Tale Mash-up (9 and up)
The Pitch: Swept away to the land of Fabricaasia, twelve-year-old Caesimilia "Case" Mollands is trapped unless the off-script fairy tales are set right. Armed with her favorite book of fables, legends and lore, and with Robin Hood and her new friend Charlie-boy by her side, Case sets off to find the wayward tales and make things right.

Angela is looking forward to your thoughts on her pitch! I am looking forward to going to hang out with this guy for a little while :)
Cute, isn't he? I am so lucky because my very generous friend is letting me ride him :)
(Although it might not be until tomorrow or the next day... My boy had his wisdom teeth out yesterday and I have a feeling he may be in for a rough day today. We may have a Star Wars marathon on the agenda rather than riding!)
Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone! I might see you Friday... or I might not... Who can tell? It will all depend on whether I have anything remotely interesting to impart :)
Happy reading and writing and thanks for helping Angela with her pitch!
