Greetings, CSFFers,

Those of you who signed up for Wayne Thomas Batson’s Dream Treaders should have received your copy. Thomas Nelson did a great job getting them out to us. Still, I think it would take a little pressure off us at a time which is often busy, what with the end of school and the coming of summer. Consequently, we’ll hold the Dream Treaders tour June 2-4.

Book Offer. For our June/July tour, we’re offering Andrew Peterson’s book 4, The Wingfeather Saga, The Warden And The Wolf King. See the details below, then if you’d like a copy to review, respond with your name and mailing address (no post office box numbers, please) no later than Monday, 9:00 AM (Pacific time).

If you request a review copy, please remember you are committed to posting during that tour, though you must still opt in if necessary.

Hi, All,

I trust you are all safe. With the storms and flooding back East, it’s a great concern. Still, it’s time for us to plan for the next CSFF tour. But first, an announcement.

CSFF Top Tour Blogger. Congratulations to our April tour Top Blogger Award winner Shannon McNear for her posts about Numb. If you missed her interview with John or her review, I suggest you stop by her site - http://shenandoahdawn.blogspot.com/  .

Book Offer. For our May/June tour, we’re offering Wayne Thomas Batson’s book, Dream Treaders. See the details below, then if you’d like a copy to review, respond with your name and mailing address (no post office box numbers, please) no later than Monday, 9:00 AM (Pacific time).

Middle grade, fantasy

Fourteen-year-old Archer Keaton discovers he has the ability to enter and explore his dreams. He is a dreamtreader, one of three selected from each generation. Their mission: to protect the waking world from the Nightmare Lord, who wreaks chaos in the Dream World. But as Archer’s dreams become more dangerous and threatening, so too does his waking life.

Rigby Thames, the new kid from England, builds a suspicious rock star-like following at Dresden High School a little too quickly. Even Archer’s best friend and confidant, Kara Windchil, seems taken in by the cool guy with the wild blond hair, which definitely rubs Archer the wrong way. Archer must face two foes in two worlds, but he cannot succeed alone. Archer sets off to find other dreamtreaders in a desperate attempt to defeat the enemy terrorizing his friends and family.

If you request a review copy, please remember you are committed to posting during that tour, though you must still opt in if necessary.

Looking forward to your review copy requests your name and mailing address (no post office box numbers, please).

By the way, John is available for interviews. You may contact him at john @ johnwotte.com . Not participating? You may still need to opt out. Please keep reading.
