We Friday the Thirteeners are very, very, excited to introduce our third Mystery Author:
Mindy McGinnis
Mindy's making her YA debut with her novel NOT A DROP TO DRINK. To be published Fall 2013 from Katherine Tegen/Harper Collins, here's a teaser:
NOT A DROP TO DRINK, the story of a teenage girl surviving in a rural America where an ounce of fresh water is worth more than gold and death wanders the countryside as thirst, cholera, and the guns of strangers; when her mother dies in an accident, the girl must decide between defending her pond alone or banding together with a crippled neighbor, a pregnant woman, a filthy orphan, and a teenage boy who awakens feelings she doesn’t understand.
Not only does NOT A DROP TO DRINK sound fabulous, but Mindy's pretty awesome herself, and we are more than ecstatic to have her join us! But her hazing just wouldn't be complete without a Truth or Dare, so make sure to submit one for her here. She'll be answering a week from today, March 27th, so make sure to check back to see how she does.
In the meantime, please join us in giving a huge welcome to Mindy, our newest Friday the Thirteener!

ReplyDeleteHooray for Mindy! The premise of this book STILL gets my brain hamster totally jealous!!
ReplyDeleteYay Mindy!! Let the hazing begin!!! he he!
ReplyDeleteWahoo, Mindy!! I've said it before, but I'll say it again: I am so excited for your book. It sounds delish! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being part of the 2013-er's, Mindy!

Elsie - I will chatter at you ANYtime, brainwave share mate.

Welcome, Mindy! I love the sound of your book!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Megan! Thrilled to be here.
DeleteMindy, welcome to the party. I look forward to not being the only four eyes. I'm tired of getting beat up by the other Thirteeners. By the way, if they ask you to meet them at the four posts after school, say yes.
ReplyDeleteHee, four posts after school. I should never have told you that, April! And, hey, I used to wear glasses before surgery, so I'm still with you there!
DeleteFor the record, April just called me out :) Take off those glasses before I give you an Irish hug!
DeleteBring it, Mindy. Just so you know, The Four Posts Rules state that nothing counts until blood is drawn, and you get double points if the victim wears specs.
DeleteOh no, so can we both just start out with double points and call it a draw? :)
DeleteCannot wait to read this book!!! Yay Mindy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Melissa! I can't wait to send it out into the world!
Deletewelcome!!! *addds book to 2013 list :D

DeleteYay, Mindy!!! :) Your book sounds awesome. And we're so glad to have you and half your face (since the other half was burned by acid. lol Still think about that funny vlog you did and it still makes me laugh).
ReplyDeleteI knew you were talking about me. The good side of my face was prickling. ;)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great story, can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteThanks NR! I love it when other people get excited about my brain baby.
ReplyDeleteOoh, cool concept! Can't wait! :)
