Online e-vent for Silver Girl by Elin Hilderbrand

On Wednesday, July 27 at 3 p.m. ET, come to BookTrib.com and celebrate summer with style! They are having  the “Queen of the Summer Novel” herself, Elin Hilderbrand, for an online e-vent with live video chat to celebrate the release of her New York Times-bestselling novel SILVER GIRL!
 
Elin will discuss SILVER GIRL, Nantucket, and answer your questions! Fifteen lucky party-goers will win an exclusive Silver Girl tote bag courtesy of The Elegant Setting along with an autographed copy of the book. Below are details and more about SILVER GIRL. (read Bea's review here)

From the email promo release - 

     "Meet Meredith Delinn, a woman whose husband has cheated rich investors out of billions of dollars and, in the process, humiliated Meredith so fully that she’s lost everything: her friends, her homes—even contact with her beloved sons. More down-and-out than she ever thought possible, Meredith reaches out to the only person she has left: her oldest friend, Constance Flute. Despite a painful rift between the women, Constance, who is herself mourning the loss of her adored husband, can’t turn her back on Meredith and takes her to Nantucket to hide—and to heal. When it seems as if the present is too difficult to endure, Constance and Meredith revisit their shared history. A surprise visit from Toby, Constance’s brother and Meredith’s high school sweetheart, forces Meredith to confront both her present and her former self, and decide who it is she will become in the aftermath of her personal tragedy. Amid the salty sea air and sandy dunes, both women must learn how to forgive each other, and themselves. In SILVER GIRL, Hilderbrand has added depth and humanity to a character we thought we already knew, and has crafted a suspenseful story of friendship, love, and the power of forgiveness."

About Elin Hilderbrand - 
      "With several bestsellers under her belt and over a million copies of her books sold to an ever growing audience, Elin Hilderbrand has established herself as the go-to writer for expertly plotted, gorgeous summer novels. However, don’t be mistaken: Hilderbrand may write against the backdrop of a blistering Nantucket summer, but her books are anything but fluff. She brings complicated, fully realized women to life, making each book moving and full of dramatic truths, while also presenting each as a scorching page-turner. Never has that been more evident than in SILVER GIRL (Reagan Arthur Books / Little, Brown 6/21/11), Hilderbrand’s highly anticipated new novel.

     Elin Hilderbrand lives on Nantucket with her husband and their three children. She grew up in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, and is an enthusiastic Philadelphia Eagles fan. She has traveled extensively through six continents but loves no place better than Nantucket, where she enjoys hogging, cooking, and watching her sons play Little League Baseball. Hilderbrand is a graduate of Johns Hopkins university and the graduate fiction workshop at the University of Iowa."

"Still Missing" Book Release E-vent

Tribute Books is having an online party for the paperback release of "Still Missing" by Chevy Stevens (Bea will have a review up on Monday May 23rd). It has been nominated for an International Thriller Writers award for “Best First Novel.” Join them for a live chat with Chevy Stevens, where she will be answering reader questions and sharing stories about herself and her work.      

  
The Book:

On the day she was abducted, Annie O’Sullivan, a 32-year-old realtor, had three goals—sell a house, forget about a recent argument with her mother, and be on time for dinner with her ever-patient boyfriend. The open house is slow, but when her last visitor pulls up in a van as she's about to leave, Annie thinks it just might be her lucky day after all.

Interwoven with the story of the year Annie spent as the captive of a psychopath in a remote mountain cabin, which unfolds through sessions with her psychiatrist, is a second narrative recounting events following her escape—her struggle to piece her shattered life back together and the ongoing police investigation into the identity of her captor.

Still Missing is that rare debut find--a shocking, visceral, brutal and beautifully crafted debut novel.

There will be gift bags for 10 lucky winners. You can RSVP to:  stillmissing@booktrib.com.  See you there.

To participate, join the BookTrib Club and post any questions you’ve had about her newest book, her last book THE WEIGHT OF SILENCE, or anything else that crosses your mind!

A BookTrib giveaway of 10 copies of THESE THINGS HIDDEN signed by Heather will begin Friday, February 18^th and run through Friday, February 25^th at 12 pm ET.  Feel free to start posting questions on the club wall and Heather will answer them as she can.  On Wednesday, February 23^rd starting at 6:45 pm CT running for an hour, Heather will be chatting live with readers to ensure all questions are answered! 

New Features

     Although I am still computerless, thanks to a sick cat and an urgent, unplanned car repair, Jax and I have been busy making plans. I don't know what I'd do if my local public library didn't have computers with internet access. 

     Anyway, Jax and I have been talking and we will be adding two weekly features. One, which will probably be posted on Fridays, will be a roundup of contests and giveaways. Jax and I will track, as best we can, books, book gift cards, e-readers, etc that publishers, authors, and bloggers are giving away. We will post the relevant information, along with a link. If you want yours included, or know of one that we should include, please use the contact form at the bottom of the page to send us the information along with a way to reach you if we have any questions.

     The other new feature will be a weekly list of upcoming releases, both short-term and long-term. It will be a mix of genres, reflecting what Jax and I read. So you will find UF in it's various permutations, romance and it's permutations, mysteries, some sci-fi, some children's books, and the occasional assorted non-fictions ie cookbooks, child growth and development, etc.

     Both of these features should start in the next week or two. Please let us know how you like them and what you'd like to see. 

     Oh, and before I forget, Happy Hannukah!
